Kurono Tokyo Calendrier Type I

The Kurono Calendrier ‘Type I’ represents a departure in design direction by esteemed watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, introducing a blend of classic elegance and contemporary functionality. Designed with the gentleman adventurer in mind, it pays homage to the vintage romanticism of the Art Deco era while maintaining a modern appeal.

Asaoka’s vision for the watch transcends mere aesthetics; it’s crafted to be worn regularly, evolving with the wearer over time. The coin-edged bezel, deliberately designed to acquire scratches and imperfections, becomes a tangible record of the wearer’s journey and life experiences. Embracing these blemishes, Asaoka believes they add character and enhance the watch’s allure as it matures.

The Calendrier ‘Type I’ is meticulously engineered to accentuate the iconic Kurono hands and dial symmetry, creating a captivating three-dimensional effect. Its khaki dial, complemented by a polished coin edge bezel, merges with bold vintage typography to evoke a sense of refined adventure. Guilloche sub-dials and polished hands hint at the intricate mechanics behind its triple calendar complication, while railway-track minute markers add a touch of sophistication to its overall design.
