Angel Heart Spring/Summer 2021

Angel Heart, a brand of wristwatches developed by Ueni Boeki Co., Ltd., has released five new watches with easy-to-read watch faces in their Spring/Summer 2021 collection. At the same time, in a new measure adapted to the new lifestyle imposed by the ongoing pandemic, they've released their first web catalog including new visuals featuring brand muse Kanna Hashimoto.

Celebrating its 17th anniversary this year, Angel Heart is known for making cute and practical women's watches that can be used both on and off the wrist. Whether you're reaching an important milestone in your life, such as going to a new school or joining a company, or whether you're just starting a new day, these new watches from Angel Heart could be right for you.

The dials and hour and minute hands are luminescent, and the indexes are Arabic numerals, making the watch faces very easy to read. In addition, in order to make it easier for customers who have difficulty visiting stores due to the novel coronavirus, Angel Heart has discontinued the catalogs that were distributed in stores and has instead released their first web catalog on their official website. Along with refreshing imagery appropriate for this time of new beginnings as well as the summer season, brand muse Kanna Hashimoto models the watches and adds her inimitable charm to the catalog visuals.

Here's a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot:
