The handmade watches produced at the watch workshop "Vie" on the shores of Lake Biwa in Shiga blend in seamlessly with everyday fashion, while still exuding a subtle individuality. Vie's parent company is an accessory workshop that has been responding to production requests from various jewelry brands for many years. Using the modeling techniques it has cultivated over the years, it has embarked on a new project: the launch of its own original brand of handmade watches. The case of the watch is mainly made of brass. It has been treated with an antique finish, such as smoked and hammered, and the more you use it, the more it will develop its character. The crystal is made of mineral glass, which is scratch-resistant and highly transparent. The company also produces unique models not found in other watch brands, such as those that incorporate extremely thin wooden parts carved from natural wood into the dial. Vie's handmade watches come in a wide variety of designs, from simple to complex. They are all wonderful and exciting. |
A casual hand-wound watch that lets you feel the delicate movement of the machine. |

A mechanical movement, yet with a somewhat elegant design.
Introducing a compact mechanical watch that's easy for women to wear! The numerals on the dial are made by carefully bending thin brass wire one by one. They match perfectly with the compact size of the watch, giving it a warm, handcrafted feel and a light impression at the same time. It has a skeleton design that allows you to see the internal movement, and you can appreciate the maker's attention to detail in the design. |

The charm of mechanical watches is the effort required to wind the crown once a day. The more you use it, the more it will age. |
