Incoming Independent
Just received my 1 of 50 copper Reiwa from Kurono Tokyo. For those who don't know, Kurono is a sub brand from Hajime Asaoka, a renown Japanese independent watchmaker.
This watch was designed by Hajime and uses a Miyota 90S5 movement. Features a two-part dial process and highly polished hands, outboard track and case; the multiple high polish surfaces allow it to play extremely well with the light. The 37mm size might put a lot of people off, but I'm finding myself liking classic sizing more and more.

Nice, congrats! I've been looking at some of these Japanese independents recently. Something about the Japanese approach to details and perfection, and the limited production.
I've been intrigued by this brand: https://naoyahidawatch.com/product/ Beautiful looking, simple, and classic, although a little pricey for what they are, IMHO. The size is also 37mm, which also doesn't bother me. |

That watch is stinking awesome. I have always thought you had one of the most sophisticated and well thought out collections on TRF. This watch reinforces that perception.

Nice watch! Will they have another production run anytime? The lugs, case shape and the dial colour reminded me of this Montblanc. |

Definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts my friend. I think you'll love it.

Never heard to NH, but the company seems intriguing. I definitely want to read up on them, always fun discovering and learning about new brands. Quote:

I'm unsure of the next run, but given the success of the last two releases I'm sure they will do another. They will likely release info in the fall with preorders around late Nov or early Dec. Thanks. I'm glad there seems to be more demand over more traditionally sized watches. I hope there are more options like this in the future (not many watches over 40mm fit my wrists well).
