Kurono Tokyo 34mm
"Nowadays, who would want a 34mm watch? Regardless, I prefer watches of this size. That is also why I am enamored with vintage watches. The challenge is how carefully they must be handled, which makes me nervous. So I had an idea: what if I could create something I would like that was both waterproof and robust enough for regular use? As a result, I made four prototypes for myself. My watch enthusiastic friends wanted one when I wore them out! The majority of them shared my taste and design choice for a vintage size from the past, while some wanted to gift it to their loved ones. So I made 80 pieces in each color for those who shared my taste. To me it is not important whether or not it sells, I can assure you that this watch is a good one." - Hajime Asaoka
