this watch is effortless perfection
Shibumi is understanding, rather than knowledge. Eloquent silence.
In demeanor, it is modesty without pudency. In art, where the spirit of shibumi takes the form of sabi, it is elegant simplicity, articulate brevity.
In philosophy, where shibumi emerges as wabi, it is spiritual tranquility that is not passive; it is being without the angst of becoming.
Shibui (adjective), shibumi (noun), or shibusa (noun)are Japanese words which refer to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty.
Anything that is Shibumi is quiet in refinement, noble and fulfilling in a manner that is not shaped exclusively by analytical thought.
In Japanese culture, Shibumi implies 'a simplicity of spirit; an attitude of refinement without pretension, honesty without apology, beauty without artifice. Western mystics try to attain or achieve a state of inner peace, but shibumi must be found, not won.'
