About Concept of 「夕暮れ」 "SUNSET"
Winter here Amsterdam is quite hard for me even spent 5 years. Because it's rain and cloud everyday for almost 3 month. No sun.
But I didn't realize that I have more appreciation for sun now and I can enjoy more. Which I didn't feel when I was in Tokyo. And Especially 「夕焼け」"Sunset"
Amsterdam don't have much tall building like Tokyo or New York. Because it's law and preserving historical view. And this makes sky way more wider and bigger. I couldn't forcing for sunset when I was in Japan especially in Tokyo. Because all building is more than 10 floor and sky is very narrow. And maybe I wasn't appreciate enough.
But here, beautiful sunset with historical European buildings. Bricks 🧱 has warm and rich color compared to concrete building. And with sunset, it's even more beautiful.
So this deep red color is inspired by those sunset in Amsterdam. Red sun light hits to bricks. And all bricks has different characters same as my hand-aged dials.
◆ General about The Chronograph
I make this case adjusting one by one by my hand. To look perfectly shaped. Based on my craftsmanship and artisan senses. I promise you it’s absolutely beautiful from every angle. But it will be slightly different each piece. I think it’s good taste of handmade and craftsmanship. But please notice that.
And I want you to enjoy 100% of this watch. So only option is only “ FullyAged “ and “ AgeYourself ” is no longer available. I spent more than 1 year to make this beautiful thin & small 36.5mm shape and spend another 1 year for update all specs & techniques for this. So I’m very particular and emotionally involved about this model. I am pretty sure you can enjoy a lot of this.
I can make it as your preference "Light Vintage" or "Heavily Vintage" with my taste. Or you can send me preference pictures of vintage aging. Please ask me before order about those if you wanted.
*Vintage aging on face as dial & hands are all hand vintage aged. Not print or factory produced. I make them vintage every piece by hand one by one from brand new parts. Every piece is unique piece. I can make similar vintage but never been a same.
