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. |
After washing the coins, Mr. Watanabe will smoke and polish them again. The 12 o'clock position is tilted at an angle of 60 degrees, a novel design that has never been seen before! |
Large letters (Kanji numerals) are used for the letters, and there is a sober Japanese atmosphere. (The belt color in the photo is "brown") Since the number of coins is limited, it is a handmade watch with high rarity.
Since 12 o'clock is at the original 2 o'clock position, it is easy to see without bending your arm. 10 o'clock is at the original 12 o'clock position. The simple round case is sleek and not too overbearing, so the dial stands out. The back cover is stainless steel.
Buckle & belt expression thick belt. Very solid. It is a buckle of the modest hue. Whole, front and back (click to enlarge)
It goes well with casual style. (Female, around 14 cm arm circumference) Presence is perfect. Male, around 17 cm arm circumference Recommended as a gift.
