Founder Interview
Crafting Vintage Watches by Hand
DETAILS / こだわり
Every watch is crafted and hand-aged by me in Kyoto. One by one, never in batches.
Vintage-inspired design, finished with quiet precision. Aging, and adjustments made by hand until it feels right to me.
Because the difference isn’t in loud claims. It’s in the details you notice over time.
INTEGRITY / うらない
I don’t do seasonal sales or discounts.
Each piece carries the time and attention. And I believe that should stay honest and consistent for all clients.
Rather than chasing short-term promotions, I focus on long-term trust, Built through communication, craftsmanship, and responsibility.
PURPOSE / おもい
KATABAMI began in Amsterdam and continues in countryside of Kyoto.
My mission is to preserve what I love about Japanese craftsmanship and Traditions. And share these to the world through watches.
Not just something to own, but something to live with. It's small, but wearable art piece for your wrist.
Valued words
My biggest support for creation from all over the world. ZERO paid or giveaway reviews.
You can get exactly what you watch now. Trust me, it's way better in person.
