| ■ Recommended Features |
| Handcrafted by watchmaker Masaki Watanabe of Watanabe Kobo, each watch is made by hand. Every part of the watch, including the case, dial, and strap, is handcrafted, from fabrication to final assembly. The collection offers a wide variety of styles, from simple designs suitable for both casual and business settings to unique models full of ingenuity. The coin has a hole in the center, reminiscent of a modern Japanese 50-yen coin. It was actually in circulation during the Taisho era and is boldly positioned in the center of the watch, making the hole a striking design feature. Furthermore, the dial is set at an angle, with the 12 o'clock position where the 2 o'clock position would normally be. This makes it easy to check the time naturally without having to bend your wrist too far. The coin is first thoroughly cleaned by the artist, Mr. Watanabe. It is then patinated and polished again to give it a well-worn appearance. The brass case has a simple, smooth round shape that does not overpower the dial, allowing it to stand out. What time is it? Every time you glance at your watch, you can see its expression change, allowing you to enjoy the gentle passage of time together. It is highly recommended not only for yourself but also as a gift for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, White Day, and other special occasions.
