The beautiful and artistic expression of the movement on your chest...
Watanabe Kobo has released a loop tie that uses the movement of a mechanical watch directly.

The movement is the heart of the watch, the central part that keeps time. Its movements are delicate yet precise.

This watch does not have a winding crown, so it does not move, but the part that acts as a pendulum, called the "balance," is not fixed, so the gears can spin. You can also enjoy the feeling of the gears as the "rotor" that winds the watch automatically turns.

You can enjoy arranging the string by changing its length and knotting. Why not use matching sets together as a couple or spouse?

　 To match a collared shirt, the motif is positioned short to make it look like a tie.

Tie it in a ribbon for a girly look

This would also make a great gift for someone special.


This is a braided type of loop tie, and is the most orthodox type. The decoration on the tip gives it an antique feel and makes it stylish.

When your outfit feels a little dull, a loop tie is the perfect accent piece.
Even when worn as an accessory with a casual suit, it creates a simple and sophisticated look.

The roots of the hand-wound movement are said to lie in pocket watches from the 17th and 18th centuries. We now live in an age where we can check the time digitally, but why not take a peek inside the low-tech movements created by people in ancient times and get a sense of their history?

We also recommend couples or spouses to wear different colours as a pair.

Not only for yourself, but also as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, Valentine's Day, White Day, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, or for watch lovers.

Hand-rolled versions are also available.
