DEDEGUMO Handmade Watch Cameo Watch for Women [Q23-4] Kyoto Handmade Watch Brand

DEDEGUMO is a brand that has been making handmade watches based in Kyoto since 1992. In a workshop built in a traditional townhouse in Gion Shirakawa, where you can feel the historical atmosphere of Kyoto, they continue to challenge themselves to make watches with designs that are as free and innovative as clouds, without being bound by preconceived notions of watches.

One of the characteristics of DEDEGUMO watches is their emphasis on design. In addition to watches with a traditional Kyoto design, they also cooperate with outside creators through watch design contests to create unique watches that cannot be found in other brands.

Another feature of DEDEGUMO watches is the pursuit of reliable quality. The movements of the watches are made in Japan. While many handmade watches are not waterproof, these watches are waterproof (with some exceptions) and have an anti-corrosion coating. In addition, craftsmen with watch repair qualifications check the quality with a strict eye, and the watches are made to be used for a long time.

In recent years, we have been introducing digital technology and are continuing to challenge ourselves to create delicate designs that were previously impossible to achieve by hand. Since 2020, we have been using CAD (Computer-aided design) to design watch parts and 3D printers to create prototypes for casting. The final finishing is done by hand by craftsmen one by one.

DEDEGUMO watches are created based on the pursuit of unique design, reliable quality, and the fusion of handcrafted products and new technology, and are accessories that will motivate you throughout the day when you wear them.

The case size is approximately 37mm.

The brass case has an antique feel and a unique structure that draws attention.

An attractive watch with a design that combines elegance and individuality like antique jewelry.

The "Cameo Watch" is a unique design based on the design selected in the "dedegumo2020 S/S Watch Design Project," a design contest hosted by Dedegumo. (Selected designer: Ohara)

The profile of the cameo and the floral pattern are exquisitely placed, creating a harmony between the elegant silhouette and the clock hands. The pearl green luster creates different expressions depending on the angle, giving it the depth of a real cameo.

The case is decorated with delicate lace, and the circular metal loop adds a touch of elegance while creating a three-dimensional effect reminiscent of a vintage brooch.

More than just a watch, this is a piece of art that can be enjoyed like jewelry. Its timeless retro beauty adds an elegant charm to your wrist.

The crown has the DEDEGUMO logo.

The case has a vintage, heavy feel.

There is also a logo on the back cover.

The case's texture has a dull bronze-like appearance that gives it a time-honoured look, and it blends beautifully with the bronze-like pearl green shine of the dial.

We utilize digital software to reflect this in the design of the dial and case. We also produce design parts for watches, create prototypes with 3D printers, and cast parts.

Not only the case, but also the second hand and belt buckle are all original, allowing you to enjoy every detail.

It has a sophisticated surface finish with a grained pattern that makes scratches less noticeable, and it has the same texture and feel as regular leather, giving it a very elegant appearance.

The watch uses a Japanese-made movement and is waterproof and coated with an anti-corrosion coating, ensuring long-lasting use.

It is also recommended as a gift.

The strap has a minimalist design compared to the decorative case, creating a balanced overall look that is elegant yet not too heavy.

Because it is decorative, the key is to use it as the "main focus of your outfit" or to "emphasize a classical atmosphere." It goes well with simple blouses and tops with lace and frills.

These expressive watches are carefully crafted one by one by artisans in Kyoto. Recommended for those who want to enjoy the uniqueness and style that cannot be found in mass-produced watches.
If you're going to buy one, why not get one that's special and unique?
