I love natural stone since I was very young. I was always looking for cool stone. I could find crystal at my elementary school. There was famous for granite which contains crystal and sometimes I could find beautiful shape crystallised one.
Anyway, I’m still like natural stone but never liked Tiger Eye to be honest. That’s because Tiger Eye is commonly known as stone of money💴 So I as thinking that it’s not cool and never got interested.
But I was totally wrong before I made this piece. I do like Tiger Eye a lot and Tiger Eye is one of the most beautiful stone for dial!! This dial is almost 30mm so very wide and big. So I can enjoy pattern and colour changes a lot. Not like small bracelet or something. You can enjoy this natural beauty made by earth. This is truly only one in the world. No pattern or colour same again.
So I printed logos by my hand for placing the best position on pattern. Especially I placed pattern goes to right up. In Japan we say 「右肩上がり」 “Right up” means everything goes up from now. But It might a bit off-center or misslined. I can promise you it’s placed nicely so no worries. Also I did vintage aging for logos to match dial tone. So my logos are modestly placed.
And this is FullyAged spec which is vintage aging on case and bracelet too. I can say it’s medium heavy aging. Beautifully done by my hand. So realistic and unique looking. And fits your arm like you used 50 years already. It’s not just scratches. Also distressed too as you can see some rusty looks. Dial it self is shiny for can see this beautiful pattern & colour. But outside is distressed so seems like raw rock.
And also Katana inspired hands fits really well👌🏼 I choose rose gold second hand for well matched with Tiger Eye.
You will find new characters every time you see this watch. I made this watch with proud of Japanese craftsmanship and essence of me living gorgeous historical city Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This is a wearable art.
*You can check availability of actual stone by email or via Instagram before purchase. Feel free to ask any questions!
I love photoshoot and I take cool pictures in my opinion haha. But still I couldn’t express 100% of this beauty. I’m pretty sure it’s way better in person! Tiger Eye dial and my vintage aging.
My wrist in pictures is 16cm narrow wrist. But this well shaped The 36mm case fits really well!
