The illustrious "Ballerina" Melodies in Motion clock from Seiko is just as beautiful as it is complex. The dark metallic brown and faux wood grain frame are complimented by shimmering chrome and gold details within. Two ballerinas dressed in pearl white dresses accompany the continuously-rotating wheel adorned with four sparkling crystals below the two-tone clock dial to create a strong feeling of peace and harmony. The center is decorated with golden reflective, mandala-inspired motifs to further emphasize the tranquil energy of this design. All of these details are truly extravagant, but the true magic of this timepiece lies within its intricate motion. At the top of the hour, LED lights pulse and sparkle as an introductory melody begins. The dial then separates into six petal-like pieces to reveal a glistening silver and blue decorative wheel. As the introductory melody ends, one of twelve total melodies begins as the decorative wheel under the dial begins to rotate and small ballerina figurines sway back and forth. Then, at the end of the melody, the dial returns to its original position. Being one of the most elaborate Karakuri clocks that we have to offer, it's clear why "Ballerina" is a fan-favorite.
