[Leave a Nest 20th Anniversary Project・Part 11] Paulownia Clock and Machined Aluminum Pen as Commemorative Gifts

Leave a Nest has produced a paulownia clock and a ballpoint pen made of machined aluminum in commemoration of its 20th anniversary. The paulownia clock was unveiled at the 20th anniversary party, Station Section, held on 14 June 2022.

1) Paulownia Clock

A time capsule was buried in the family home of President Maru in 2007, on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the company. In 2021, the paulownia tree planted there had finally grown large enough to be cut down to make this commemorative clock. The production was commissioned to Super Factory Group's Hamano Products Co., Ltd. and Manaka-Mokkousho Inc. The corporate logo is laser-engraved on the front, and the philosophy of Leave a Nest, “Advancing Science and Technology for Global Happiness,” is laser-engraved on the back. Although the shape and grain of each piece is different, they are all made from a single tree and share the same DNA.

“Clock Building, not Time Telling”, a concept described in Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies is very dear to Leave a Nest. This paulownia clock, which expresses this idea, is a commemorative gift that fully expresses the appeal of Leave a Nest Group, which shares this philosophy and gives importance to diversity.
