Watanabe Kobo Handmade Wristwatch Manual Winding Type Back Skeleton “Explorer” Men's Brass [NW-BHW057]
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... |
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. This watch is covered with glass except for the dial, so it has a skeleton specification that allows you to enjoy the movement of the hand-wound movement. You can enjoy the movement even if you turn it inside out, so you can feel the commitment that is a little different from ordinary hand-wound watches. The brass case has a slightly dull and tasteful texture, and it is a watch that shows a unique modern look with a movement that moves like a glitter while giving off a retro atmosphere! Warm brass is popular with both men and women, and is perfect for casual styles. Of course, the simple silhouette makes it suitable for business occasions. |
The belt is made of high-quality cowhide leather, and the thickness is about 4mm, giving it an outstanding presence. It is much more durable than the leather straps of common wristwatches, 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. Because it is almost made-to-order and hand-made, it takes time from order to delivery, but it is worth it. It is a watch that is full of character and warmth, so it is recommended not only for yourself but also as a gift. I'm sure it will be a memorable gift! |
The same model is also available in silver hand-wound back skeleton men's silver . |
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♪ |
