A triple calendar complication that achieved finalist recognition at the GPHG Awards 2022, this will be the final edition of the Calendrier Type I model which will be discontinued after this run. As a complete calendar, ‘Azuki’ is one of our most complicated models from a horological perspective. Hajime Asaoka wanted to achieve a color that harked back to cars of the past, where maroon was a popular standard color. In Japan, that car color is more commonly designated as ‘azuki’ (tr: ‘red bean’) hence the nickname for the watch. Significant effort was put into achieving the deep maroon color of the dial, including using phosphor-bronze* as a dial material for the first time. (*phosphor-bronze is multitudes harder to machine than the more commonly used brass.) Also unique for this final run of the Calendrier Type I, ‘Azuki’s’ hour markers are further finished in off-white to provide a perfect contrast to its vintage maroon dial color.” Price is $2050 shipped from San Diego (to CONU).
