DEDEGUMO is a brand that has been making handmade watches based in Kyoto since 1992. In a workshop built in a traditional townhouse in Gion Shirakawa, where you can feel the historical atmosphere of Kyoto, they continue to challenge themselves to make watches with designs that are as free and innovative as clouds, without being bound by preconceived notions of watches.
One of the characteristics of DEDEGUMO watches is their emphasis on design. In addition to watches with a traditional Kyoto design, they also cooperate with outside creators through watch design contests to create unique designs not found in other brands.
Another feature of DEDEGUMO watches is the pursuit of reliable quality. The movements of the watches are made in Japan. While many handmade watches are not waterproof, these watches are waterproof (with some exceptions) and have an anti-corrosion coating. In addition, craftsmen with watch repair qualifications check the quality with a strict eye, and the watches are made to be used for a long time.
In recent years, we have been introducing digital technology and are continuing to challenge ourselves to create delicate designs that were previously impossible to achieve by hand. Since 2020, we have been designing watch parts using CAD (Computer-aided design), and creating prototypes for casting using 3D printers. The final finishing is done by hand by craftsmen one by one.
DEDEGUMO watches are created based on a pursuit of unique design, reliable quality, and a fusion of handcrafted craftsmanship and new technology, and are accessories that will motivate you throughout the day when you wear them.

A collaboration between illustrator shichigoro, who draws fantastical mechanical worlds, and DEDEGUMO, a handmade watch brand from Kyoto. This model encapsulates his unique worldview in the small universe of a wristwatch.
The “Ladder” design is a wristwatch that is like a direct translation of the fantastical mechanical world that is unique to Shichigoro.
The skeletonized dial allows the precisely assembled mechanical movement to be seen, evoking the image of a small factory quietly operating.
On top of that, the design incorporates three-dimensional details like metal wires, giving the piece an inorganic yet somehow organic beauty.
Furthermore, the multi-layered metal parts show different expressions depending on how the light hits them and the angle from which you view them, offering you new discoveries every time you wear it.
It is not just a mechanical device, but a design with depth that seems to contain a story.
The smoked finish applied to the face is carefully finished by craftsmen one by one.
No two pieces are the same, and each piece has its own unique personality, with subtle colours and textures.
The unique look that can only be achieved through handcrafting gives the watch depth and presence.



This watch is automatic, but if you don't use it for a long time, it may stop. If that happens, just turn the crown to wind it up and it will start working again right away. It supports both automatic and manual winding, so you can enjoy it flexibly according to how you use it.
We utilize digital software to reflect this in the design of the dial and case. We also produce design parts for watches, create prototypes with 3D printers, and cast parts.
Not only the case, but also the second hand and belt buckle are all original, allowing you to enjoy every detail.
The watch uses a Japanese-made movement and is waterproof and coated with an anti-corrosion coating, ensuring long-lasting use.
The belt is made of vegan leather with a realistic grained finish that gives it an elegant look. |




This vegan leather belt is made from apple skins that would otherwise be thrown away, giving them a new life. It has a sophisticated surface finish that makes scratches less noticeable, and has the same texture and feel as regular leather, giving it a very elegant look.
While respecting the blessings of nature, we have achieved a supple texture and comfortable fit.This is a special pair of glasses that combines environmental friendliness with high-quality design.
A casual addition to a simple outfit. This is a watch that you can enjoy for its special presence, giving you the feeling of incorporating art into your everyday life. |


This is a very unique watch with a strong presence.
To bring out its charm to the fullest, we recommend pairing it with a simple outfit.
For example, just adding this watch to a plain T-shirt or shirt, a simple dress, or a basic denim style will add depth and a story to the entire outfit. By highlighting the artistic and story of the "ladder" without relying on flashy decoration, you can add your own unique personality to your everyday style.
It's like carrying art with you or incorporating art into your outfit.
This watch is an item that allows you to subtly add your own unique worldview to your everyday life. Be sure to incorporate it into your everyday wear as well as your special day outfits, and enjoy creating your own unique style.
These tasteful watches are carefully crafted one by one by artisans in Kyoto. The meticulous attention to detail and the designs that evoke a story go beyond the framework of a simple watch, making them appealing as wearable art.
It comes with a presentation box, making it a great gift.
It would also make a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, or as a gift to celebrate a new student or new job.
