Watanabe Kobo Handmade Wristwatch Mechanical “Wanokoku” Hand-rolled Kakuji” Brass Cushion Case Chinese Numerals 38mm Size [NW-BHW158] Men’s Women’s

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.

The "Wa-no-toku" series with bold indexes. Introducing a warm brass cushion case type. Uses a hand-wound mechanical movement that allows you to feel the goodness of analog

The standard case size is 38mm.
(The belt color in the photo is "black x black")

The index uses large letters (Kanji numerals) to create a Japanese astringent atmosphere.


Watanabe Koubou's popular Japanese clock series "Wa no Toki".
This is a mechanical movement type that allows you to feel the goodness of analog, which starts by winding the crown by hand.

The case is a cushion type with a rounded square outer frame and a round dial.
The case diameter is 38mm, so it is a size that is easy for both men and women to wear.

The brass case and dial that look like they have been used have a taste unique to handmade, and the more you use them, the more antique atmosphere you will get.


Brass case with a faintly smoked retro feel

By winding the mainspring fully with the crown, it will continue to work for a day to a day and a half.

The more you use it, the more antique it will look.

It has a see-through back design, so you can enjoy the movement of the movement on both sides.

The needle is a Mercedes needle with phosphorescent paint. After exposure to light, it glows in the dark, so it is also visible at night.

An attractive item with full skeleton mechanical parts and antique pocket watch.
This model dares to use the "Mercedes hands" that are used in sporty diver's watches, and that is the accent.

Now that hassle-free self-winding and quartz watches have become widespread, more and more watch enthusiasts are choosing manual-winding types that require the work of "winding the mainspring by hand."
The trouble of winding the mainspring by hand is like grinding coffee beans in a mill.

Since it is a full skeleton model, you can see how each part intricately interlocks with each other to tick the time. It will also be a highly hobby item that pleases the owner's eyes.

Genuine cowhide with good texture is used for the material of the belt. It has a firm thickness, excellent durability, and an elegant appearance.

The belt is made of genuine tanned cowhide leather.

The line of sewing machine stitch becomes a casual accent.

It has just the right amount of presence and can be used for business occasions.

Please note that winding the mainspring too much may cause it to break.
