It has almost been a year since the disastrous earthquake hit Japan, and Punkt Group continues to help with the release of the AC 01 Japan Benefit Limited Edition Clock.
Instead of having an all-red body like the original model, the AC 01 Japan Benefit Limited Edition Clock has a white and red theme, which is a reference to the Japanese flag. Aside from the change in looks, everything else remains the same. There’s still the flat-back design with an aluminum body and a scratch-proof glass. It’s a simple clock without all the technological fuss.
All of the profits from the AC 01 Japan Benefit Limited Edition Clock will go towards rebuilding homes and play areas in Maeami, a fishing village in the Tōhoku region that was wiped out by the tsunami.
