Hidekazu Araki of "ARKRAFT" is a watchmaker who creates watches by hand, one by one, in Taito Ward, Tokyo, which is known as a town of artisans for leather goods and metal crafts.

The brand name "ARKRAFT" is derived from Araki's abbreviated signature "ARK," "kraft" meaning productive or creative power in German, and "ar-," the root word for art and arm meaning connection or fit. While following the design based on the tradition of wristwatches, each watch is carefully crafted with the aim of incorporating the flavor and warmth of handmade products.

Araki studied watch making and repair under Koji Shinohara, a pioneer of handmade watches and representative of the Japan Handcraft watch Association (JHA), before going independent in Kuramae, Taito Ward, Tokyo. He makes watches with timeless designs that add a touch of playfulness to handmade watches, such as watches with basic designs with parts of the dial burned and handwritten numbers added, and watches with cases carefully and minutely hammered to create an expressive finish. In addition, he mainly uses brass cases and high-quality vegetable-tanned leather for the straps, which deepen in character with use.

Araki's watches, which combine universality and originality, can be worn for both casual and business occasions and can be worn by both men and women. The watches, which are made through a time-consuming process, give you a warmth and comfort that you cannot get from a ready-made product, and you can enjoy the changes that occur over time.

Imagine fireworks in the forest...

The belt is made of vegetable tanned cowhide leather from a long-established Italian tannery (leather manufacturer). Each piece of leather is high quality and will age differently over time. The belt is stitched.

Tempesti Maine

Made from two layers of leather, thickness approx. 3mm / stitching color is dark brown

"Maine" is a vegetable tanned leather made by Tempesti in Tuscany, Italy, using raw hides from Northern Europe. It has a transparent finish with excellent flexibility. Tempesti is a thin leather, just under 2mm thick, so the back of the belt is made of two layers of leather, with a layer of lacette-tanned pigskin that is gentle on the skin and sewn together.

Tempesti Ibiza

Double layered leather, 3mm thick, dark brown stitching

Full vegetable oiled leather made by Tempesti in Tuscany, Italy. Finely textured leather with no grain. Matte but glossy and elegant. Colors other than black have the characteristic that when you rub the leather, the oils in the leather move and the color becomes lighter. Tempesti is a thin leather, just under 2mm thick, so the back of the belt is made of two layers of leather, with a layer of lacette-tanned pigskin that is gentle on the skin and sewn together.

Havana

Double layered leather, 3mm thick, dark brown stitching
*Due to the manufacturing process, there may be greater individual differences in the finish than with other leathers, but please be aware that this is a characteristic of this leather.

"Havana" is a leather made by BADARASSI Carlo in Florence, Italy, using the traditional "Vacchetta" method, in which vegetable tanned cowhide is slowly soaked in oil. It is made by recreating a classic recipe that has been handed down since the 18th century, when leather was made to be used for furniture, tools, and clothing. No effort is spared, resulting in a striking finish that retains the original strength and expression of leather, and the appearance changes clearly as you use it, making it a leather that you will grow to love.
Havana leather is a thin leather, just under 2mm thick, so the back of the belt is made of two layers of leather, with a layer of skin-friendly lacette-tanned pigskin sewn on top. The leather is characterized by its uneven grain. The color of the raised areas is darker. The leather has a calm look and a slight sheen.

Doraro

Double layered leather, 3mm thick, dark brown stitching

"Doraro" is made by embossing and processing the Buttero leather of the Italian company Walpier. Walpier is most famous for its Buttero leather, and "Doraro" is made by using Buttero leather as a base, embossing it with a grained texture, and then processing it further.
Embossing not only gives the leather a rough texture, it also makes the surface somewhat harder and firmer, making it less prone to scratches.
Furthermore, applying a little more heat will create a more shaded appearance, and even though it is tanned leather, the absorption of small amounts of water will be slower and stronger.
As you use it, the luster will improve and the color will change, so you can enjoy the aging process.

Pueblo

Double layered leather, 3mm thick, dark brown stitching

"Pueblo" is a vegetable tanned leather made by Badarassi Carro in Florence, Italy, using the traditional "Vacchetta" method, in which oil extracted from cow's legs is slowly soaked into the leather. Each piece of leather is sanded by hand, giving it a unique uneven texture and vintage look. The more you use it, the more it develops a character that can't be found with other leathers.
Pueblo is a thin leather, just under 2mm thick, so the back of the belt is made of two layers of leather, with lacette-tanned pigskin, which is gentle on the skin, attached and sewn together.

LeBron

Double layered leather, 3mm thick, dark brown stitching

"Revlon" is a vegetable tanned leather manufactured by Ottocento in Italy. Revlon has a vintage feel from the start and develops a wonderful luster with use. It is a relatively soft leather.
This leather is characterized by its uneven grain. The raised areas are darker in color. The leather has a calm look and a slight sheen.

Tempesty Babel

"Babel" is oil-tanned leather by Tempesti. It is machine-filed vertically and horizontally to create a unique cloth-like pattern. The leather changes color quickly over time. Enjoy the color change as it matures the more you wear it.
