Use the back side to see the gears in motion

The string can be moved up and down, allowing you to adjust the length and arrange it however you like.

When viewed from the side, you can see the gears stacked in a three-dimensional manner.

Silver is black cord. Gold is brown cord.


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, keeping time.

This watch does not have a winding crown, so it will not move, but the part that acts as the pendulum, called the "balance," is not fixed, so it can spin around.

Not only does it have a sophisticated look, but you can also enjoy the feel of the gear.

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.

Automatic winding types are also available.
