Watanabe Kobo Handmade Watch Automatic Winding Back Skeleton Arabic Numerals Engraved Men's Silver Hand-sewn Belt [NW-SAM021]
Mr. Masaaki Watanabe of Watanabe Koubou is a watchmaker who makes watches one by one by hand at his workshop in downtown Tokyo. We have worked on many watch works that are full of warmth and a tasteful expression unique to handmade. Mr. Watanabe does everything by hand, from making watch parts such as cases, dials, and belts to assembling them. There is a wide variety of products, from simple designs that can be used for both casual and business purposes, to unique models that incorporate originality and ingenuity. Watches created through a very time-consuming process give warmth and healing that ready-made products do not have. For the material of the case, we use materials such as brass and silver that can be enjoyed over time. The leather belt is made of genuine leather that is thick yet fits well, giving it a sense of quality and presence. With the flow of time, you will grow attached to it - it is overflowing with such warmth. Since each item is made by hand, it takes about 3 weeks to 1 month from the time of order, but you can also choose the color of the belt. It's a very rare and warm handmade wristwatch, so I'm sure it will be appreciated even if it is given as a gift! |
You can feel the warmth and ingenuity unique to handmade... |

Self-winding silver has appeared from Watanabe Kobo! The case model is jumbo silver, and the dial is large and easy to read. It's simple, but the moment you see it, you'll be attracted to its cool design. This is a self-winding watch with a presence that allows you to see the movement of the mechanical movement from both sides of the case. In a self-winding wristwatch, the rotor of the movement rotates when worn or when the watch is shaken, and the mainspring is wound. |

Wearing example ・Men (arm circumference 16.5 cm) |
Wearing example ・Women (arm circumference 13.5 cm) |
The belt is made of high-quality cowhide leather, and the thickness is about 4mm, giving it an outstanding presence. Because it is a hand-sewn belt, it is much more durable than the leather strap of a typical wristwatch, and it also has a high quality. I think there are very few mass-produced watches in the same price range that use leather belts with such quality and presence. Jumbo Silver is one of Watanabe Koubou's watches, which is large and has an outstanding presence, but it is a size that can be worn by both men and women. The cool atmosphere of silver goes well with business as well as casual styles. |
You can choose the color of the belt! |
The belt is available in eight colors: black, brown, camel, tanned, white, red, khaki, and navy. Choose your favorite color belt and make it your one and only wristwatch in the world♪ |

A hand-wound wristwatch with a warm feel that allows you to see the movement ticking along with the ticking sound! Hand-wound wristwatches are less accurate than quartz ones, but you can see and feel the accumulation of ingenuity in how the power of the mainspring drives the movement.
