[WTS/WTT] - Kurono Toyko - Chronograph 1 Reverse Panda - 1 of 100 total produced - 38mm
Hi, here’s a special piece that hurts to list… it’s not getting the wrist time it deserves and time to move it along so someone else can appreciate it. Everything about this watch is stunning. This was the first KURONO TOKYO released, this is the JDM model (100 total produced) with the English “Kurono” logo which has been phased out (was only printed on these 100 dials). The watch is in excellent condition with almost no signs of wear. Comes with the original Kurono genuine leather strap along with an additional new genuine leather strap (no taper). Description from their website: Kurono’s first-ever chronograph features a 38mm column-wheel complemented by the monochromatic art-deco design language that is distinctively Hajime Asaoka. Taking Chronograph 1’s overall finesse and aesthetic as a whole, the entire effect of the design is a breathtaking link between modern watch design and the romanticism of classical dial layouts. Polished steel studs that indicate hours are followed by alternating gray or black/silver rings that culminate in a detailed tachymeter scale at the edge. A high-polish steel surround features a date window in contrasting white with black numerals. At ‘3’ and ‘9’ are contrasting elapsed time and seconds subdials respectively, finished in a concentric guilloche pattern, with the elapsed-time subdial at ‘9’ set with a uniquely designed high-polished subhand in the shape of a traditional Japanese ‘kyudo’ arrow. The new chronograph retains the key elements of the high-polished steel case and hands that Kurono is renowned for - and more importantly - also features the unique box-sapphire watch glass to leverage its higher refractive and magnification performance for enhancement to lightplay. Taken as a whole, the entire effect of the design is a breathtaking link between modern watch design and the romanticism of classical dial layouts.
