DEDEGUMO Handmade Watch - Carp and Ripples, Gold - Men's & Women's [Q41-1-GD] - Kyoto Handmade Watch Brand

DEDEGUMO is a brand that has been creating handmade watches in Kyoto since 1992. In their workshop, a traditional townhouse in Gion Shirakawa, Kyoto, where the historical atmosphere of Kyoto is palpable, they continue to challenge themselves to create watches with designs as free and innovative as clouds, unbound by conventional notions of watchmaking.

One of the characteristics of DEDEGUMO watches is their design-centric philosophy. In addition to watches with traditional Japanese designs that are characteristic of Kyoto, they also collaborate with external creators through watch design contests and other means to create unique designs that you won't find in other brands.

The pursuit of reliable quality is also a characteristic of DEDEGUMO watches. The watch movements are made in Japan. While many handmade watches are not waterproof, these watches feature water resistance for everyday use (with some exceptions) and a corrosion-resistant coating. Furthermore, skilled craftsmen with watch repair technician qualifications meticulously check the quality to ensure lasting enjoyment.

In recent years, we have been introducing digital technology and continuing to challenge ourselves with delicate design expressions that were impossible with manual work. Since 2020, we have introduced CAD (Computer-aided design) for designing watch parts and 3D printing for creating casting prototypes. The final finishing is done by craftsmen one piece at a time.

DEDEGUMO watches, born from the pursuit of unique designs, reliable quality, and the fusion of craftsmanship and new technology, are accessories that boost your motivation throughout the day when you wear them.

A big face of approximately 47mm.

The case also features flowing curves that are applied three-dimensionally.
It creates an overall organic design with a sense of unity.

It's designed so that the second hand passes over the ripples.

This watch features a large carp drawn across the entire face of the watch, giving the impression that it is swimming freely on the surface of the water.

The three-dimensional ripples accentuate the movement, evoking the flow of water and the strength of the carp each time you look at it. The contrast between white and gold creates an elegant and glamorous expression, resulting in a simple yet eye-catching design. This is a piece that will add personality and presence to your everyday life.

The design of this watch is based on a winning entry from the "dedegumo 2020 S/S Watch Design Project" contest. The winning designer is SHOKO KAWATA, a creator who primarily works in 3D modeling, sculpting, and design. She creates three-dimensional works using software such as Fusion360 and engages in diverse expressive activities. Her original idea was selected, and it was brought to life as a wristwatch by the craftsmen of DEDEGUMO.

The white parts of the carp and ripples are painted by hand one by one, and the simple texture adds warmth to the design.

The DEDEGUMO logo is on the crown.

There is also a logo on the back cover.

The case is made of blackened brass, creating an antique-like, atmospheric feel.

From the case to the second hand and even the buckle of the strap, everything is made to the original specifications, allowing you to enjoy the details.

The watch uses a Japanese-made movement. In addition, it features "water resistance for everyday use" and a "corrosion-resistant coating," ensuring that you can enjoy it for many years to come.
