Kurono Tokyo 2024 Anniversary Reiwa - 2024
Kurono Tokyo 2024 Anniversary Reiwa
For those unaware of Kurono Tokyo, it is the sub-brand of renowned independent watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, whom is widely regarded as one of the top watchmakers in the world. His watches are produced in extremely limited numbers, each an individual commission that can take years to deliver. In order to allow some of his magic to be enjoyed by the wider public, he created the Kurono Tokyo brand. These watches are designed by Hajime-san, but utilise components created to his specification from external manufacturers. Each watch then passes through his hands to ensure the quality is worthy of his name.
The Reiwa was the first watch designed by Hajime in the new reign of Emperor Naruhito, and due to it's complexity in production has only been produced one other time in 2019. For Kurono's 5th anniversary, they decided to release another version, apparently for the final time.
It utilises the familiar svelte stainless 37mm case, and houses a spectacular two-part dial. Inspired by the beauty of ‘Ruri-Numa’, it blends a lapis-green metallic periphery with a deep black mirrored center across a single cylindrical dial. It's then topped with hand-curved hands, matching the slope of the periphery of the dial which is a very cool effect in person. The colour scheme is echoed in the calf leather strap, with it's black upper, and lapis-green sides.
It is powered by the usual 90S5 high-grade Miyota movement, and is assembled in Japan by hand.
This particular piece presents TZ 'Near Mint' condition, with only the lightest of swirlies and hairlines present. See images for full condition details.
