Kurono Tokyo - Grand Akane - Unisex - 2011-present

Brand NEW KURONO's first artisan-level timepiece - the Grand: Akane '茜' - with a uniquely made urushi dial featuring a ‘Hamon (刃文) ’ pattern that is finished with the traditional Japanese ‘Niiro 煮色’ chemical treatment, and then sealed by an additional layer of suki-urushi (transparent lacquer) . Unlike most urushi-based watch dials in the market today, watchmaker Hajime Asaoka refrained from using hand-painted designs, favoring instead a ‘forged’ approach to the creation of the Grand: Akane’s dial design elements.
