Catalogue Essay
- Kurono Tokyo was founded in 2016 by esteemed Japanese watchmaker Hajime Asaoka. Asaoka's focus on exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail is evident and the brand is known for offering exceptional value compared to Asaoka's eponymous high-end line.
- The Kurono Grand Akane '茜' is the brand's first artisan-level release, launched in November 2020. This timepiece features a truly unique urushi dial that showcases a stunning array of contrasting red hues. The dial's color will develop and evolve over time, reflecting the individual usage and patina of each owner.
- Adding to the visual appeal is the "Hamon (刃文)" blade pattern design, which is finished using traditional Japanese chemical treatment techniques. This beautifully complements the captivating color of the dial, evoking the image of a serene Daruma sunset.
- Remarkably, the Grand Akane '茜' is limited to just 200 pieces, making it a true collector's item. As part of Kurono's "Grand Series", Asaoka has dedicated significant time and resources to researching and developing this exceptional timepiece.
- Please note that part of the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to the Husaini Yateem Khana Waqf Orphanage Trust.
