Catalogue Essay
- Launched in 2018, the young Japanese brand Naoya Hida & Co has shaken up the industry by storm already. With a deep appreciation for vintage timepieces, especially vintage pocket watches, Mr. Hida san strives to create the ideal watch with his vision, a vision of beauty and details. With that in mind, the first timepiece NH Type 1B was launched as a small batch of seven pieces only, marking his debut as an independent watch brand based in Tokyo.
- One of the most respected independent brand now, Naoya Hida together with master watchmaker Kosuke Fujita and master engraver Keisuke Kano created the NH Type 3, the brand’s first model to incorporate the moon phase complication.
- With a brand new third generation case design, the 37mm diameter 904L stainless steel timepiece is designed with a screw-down caseback to enhance practicality of the timepiece, an also conveniently, it wears thinner on the wrist.
- Made in German silver, the dial is skilfully engraved with elegant Roman numerals by Keisuke Kano. And of course, the star of the show is the whimsical moon phase that both smile and frowns in 18K yellow gold with a microbead blasted finish.
- Positioned at 6 o’clock underneath the pair of refined heat blued hands milled from a bar of steel, the moon phases is operated with an ingenious mechanism. Forget about setting pin, Naoya Hida has developed a life-changing feat, a moon phase that can be adjusted by the crown. Not only convenient, the winding click sounds extremely satisfying.
- House inside this beautiful timepiece is the cal. 3021LU that’s derived from the Valjoux 7751. Beating at 4 Hz, the power reserve of this timepiece is up to 45 hours.
- With a production of only 10-15 pieces per year, one can imagine it is hard to obtain one. The present NH Type 3B numbered 004 is a refreshing piece of artisanal craftsmanship from Japan.
