"Like all movements constructed by the Micro Artist Studio, references to the landscape around Shiojiri are embedded in the movement design. The channel between the two bridges is meant to be a river, while the two jewels with shock absorbers are the eyes of a frog looking at the moon, which is the barrel. The bridges are rhodium-plated brass while the open-worked barrel is steel; the bellflower on the barrel is perhaps the most lyrical element of the movement, and a reference to the official flower of Nagano prefecture."
