His watches are produced in extremely limited numbers, each an individual commission that can take years to deliver. In order to allow some of his magic to be enjoyed by the wider public, he created the Kurono Tokyo brand. These watches are designed by Hajime-san, but utilise components created to his specification from external manufacturers. Each watch then passes through his hands to ensure the quality is worthy of his name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you take a closer look at this Chronograph P1, it’s not hard to see why they've been met with such fanfare. After releasing several time only variants in 37mm, and following it up with their first foray into the world of Chronographs with the Chronograph 1 and 2, the P1 edition is perhaps the finest release thus far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a beautifully polished 38mm steel case, the dial is the real star of the show and the devil is in the details. Highly polished steel studs are used as hour markers, the sub-dials are finished with concentric guilloche pattern, and a hand shaped in the fashion of a 'Kyudo' arrow on the sub-seconds dial. The dial features a classic Panda colourway, with a white dial base, with black sub-registers. This classic colour scheme is then elevated with a medium carmine red for the minute scale, and utilises a pointillism technique, which is the application of colour with small, distinct dots, creating a wonderful texture. The alternating finishes, along with the gothic-style 12 and 6 applied markers and lack of date window, is a wonderful combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chronograph P1 is powered by the flagship column-wheel NE86 chrono movement from Seiko, which is modified to remove the date function, and ensure there is no phantom position on the crown.

On the back of the quartz crisis IWC decided they needed to meet it head-on, and thus created the IW3750, a perpetual calendar chronograph based on the famed module created by Kurt Klaus. With it's stunning double-stepped case and unique lugs, combined with it's high-horology complications, it was both classical and forward-facing in its design and proved to be an immediate hit with collectors. Fast forward 10 years, and in celebration of this milestone watch for IWC, they created the IW3751 which added a split-second to the chronograph while retaining everything the collecting community loved about the IW3750.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case itself measures in at 39mm, with a thickness of 16mm, and is crafted in 18k yellow gold. The double-stepped bezel is utterly gorgeous, and the unique articulating lugs makes it extremely comfortable on the wrist. Within this case lies a silver opaline dial with the classic IWC Kurt Klaus Perpetual calendar layout. It is clear, legible and very clever in its execution with the date complication at 9, month and 12 hour counter at 6, month and running seconds at 9 and moonphase and 30 minute counter at 12, making it very aesthetically pleasing and readable considering there is so much information being presented on the recessed subdials. Atop this dial sits 10 hands executed in 18k gold and blued steel, apart from the hidden split seconds hand in red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering it is the aforementioned perpetual calendar chronograph movement 79251. This was based around the ETA 7750, modified with the Kurt Klaus module, with all calendar functions operated by the crown. Finishing it off is a beautiful aftermarket strap with IWC tang buckle in gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece was first sold in 1999 and presents in excellent neo-vintage condition. The case has been beautifully preserved, with only minor scratches and some very small dings present.

William is a long time enthusiast, quite an influential character within the world of Horology, and a lover of Universal Geneve. The issue with a lot of UG’s are old, and so are inherently not particularly well suited to the rigours of daily watch duties. They are also sized on the smaller side, which doesn’t suit all modern wrists. Another issue with some references, such as the Big Eye, is that they’re exceedingly rare and therefore extremely valuable. With only a handful of these known to be in existence, they fetch north of $30,000 USD when they do pop up…ouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo Massena LAB created the Uni Racer, which is essentially a faithful replica of the Universal Geneve Big Eye, but with a modern manual wind chronograph movement, and an upsized 39mm case. Now, replica is usually a dirty word, and plenty of people in the watch community have been more than a little disparaging about the piece. But we feel this is a little unfair as Universal Geneve had no interest in pursuing the project, and essentially are a shell of the once great company they were. The original is almost unobtainable, and if you did own it, the value would scare you off wearing it. While I’m not a huge fan of other homage watches in general, these are essentially unobtainium, and if this gives us a chance to wear this masterstroke of design for reasonable money without worry of mechanical failure, parts availability etc then we’re all for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs touched on above, it is powered by Sellita SW 510 M manual wind chronograph movement, which is contained within a 39mm steel case that sits superbly on the wrist. The crystal is scratch-resistant domed acryclic, and it is mounted to a leather strap with Massena LAB signed tang buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example was purchased from Hodinkee in 2020 and presents in TZ 'Excellent' condition. The case is in lovely condition overall, with the brushed surfaces showing only the lightest signs of wear. Case back shows some minor scratching, as do the lugs from strap changes. Left side of the case has a scuff mark as per the photos.

This is also helped by the large sloped rehaut, with the centre portion of the dial being a good few mm's smaller than the inner bezel, which again makes it feel smaller than it is. The dial itself is a lovely shade of light grey, with blue accents abound. It features running seconds, a 12 hour counter, and 30 minute counter on its subdials, and there's also a GMT function which is not apparent at first. But simply pop the crown out, spin it, and a small GMT hand will appear form behind the hour hand allowing for a discreet and very functional travel chronograph. That window below 12?

A pure demonstration of Finnish 'Sisu'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what happens when you take an altogether serious Diver from S.U.F, and combine them with something as whimsical as the Moomin? Sarpaneva first celebrated Moomins, the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-Finn illustrator and writer Tove Jansson, with the S.U.F Moomin edition released in 2020. This was based around the S.U.F 180 case, a 38mm field watch, and this is the follow up to that release, now in Dive watch form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt features the most amazing hand-finished 3-part partially skeletonized dial, which is then painstakingly hand painted in the Sarpaneva workshop in Tritec lume in 7 colours.

Renowned for their beautiful in-house movements utilising German Silver, with an architecture and design all of their own, and some of the most impressive hands in the horological world, they are lesser known than some of their German brethren, but they are very much worth paying attention to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tefnut is perhaps their most elegant line, and the version we have here is it pared back to its most pure form. Known as the Pure, it is perhaps the line best suited to daily wear with it's combination of size, stealthy DLC case, and pared back aesthetic. It won't draw the wrong attention, and is definitely an if-you-know-you-know watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a 39mm case in DLC-coated steel, it is just 8.8mm thick and 45.2mm lug to lug making it compact on the wrist, but thanks to it's thin bezel wears perhaps closer to a 40mm. The dial within is made of solid silver, and beautifully balances the line between a pure dress and daily watch with it's two-tone DLC coating with a grey inner section and black hour track. The highly polished dart indices sing against the black backdrop, and there's lovely sunburst finish within the sunken grey centre section, surrounded by a highly polished steel ring that perfectly aligns with the hour hand. The attention to detail here is first class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Moritz Grossman's signatures are their handmade hands, here in steel. They reward close attention, with their immaculate finishing and subtle rolled tip on the minute hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flipside, you are greeted with the manual wind calibre 202, with it's 3\/5th plate design in German Silver with a pillar construction for the bridges. It has a 48 hour power reserve, with high levels of shock resistance, and is adjusted in 5 positions for excellent accuracy. The finish is lovely, with a combination of satination and sandblasting, with an industrial yet luxurious balance, which is a finishing style we personally love. The warmth of the German Silver against the DLC case is a perfect pairing, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece was first sold in 2018 and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition. The case is in fabulous condition, with some very small marks and a tiny pin dent present on the bezel near 10 and 11.

It falls into Bell \u0026amp; Ross' Concept line of watches, a range whose purpose is to push the boundaries of both design and watchmaking, and this watch certainly does that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is constructed in ceramic, and features sharp facets throughout. This case shape was first debuted with the BR01 Cyber Skull, but for the ceramic model it was moved to the BR03 series, meaning it has shrunk quite a bit and now measures in at 42mm x 43.7mm lug-to-lug and around 15mm thick. Much more manageable than the 45mm BR01, and with the short lug-to-lug is a good fit for most medium to large sized wrists. The case execution is flawless, as to be expected of one manufactured by G\u0026amp;F Châtelain, the same case maker responsible for the Chanel ceramic cases which are some of the best in the world, as well as components for MB\u0026amp;F and Richard Mille amongst others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs cool as the case is, it's what lies inside that is most interesting. Developed by Concepto, the same company who constructed the movements for the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra, as well as movements for Jacob \u0026amp; Co. such as the Chiron Tourbillon, the BR-CAL.383 is an automatic movement with black skeletonized main plate and bridges, which form a cross-bone shape which supports the wheel train. There is no dial, with the indices printed on the underside of the heavily faceted crystal. It really is a sight to behold, and the rhodium plated wheel train provides a stunning contrast against the sandblasted, black finish of the bridges. We love the exposed mainspring at 12 too, which allows you to see the approximate power reserve by viewing how tightly coiled it is, not unlike a Ulysse Nardin Freak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt very much so feels like high-watchmaking, and the execution is absolutely spot on.

Thankfully the wait was worth it, and the first watch from the brand we're listing is one of our favourites; the Armin Strom Signature 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those not familiar with Armin Strom, their modern era began in 2009 with the founding of their own manufacturer in Biel, Switzerland. With a focus on creating watches with mechanics on display, they wished to create watches their own way and not follow the conventions of typical Swiss watchmaking, while also respecting the past. It was a big move to dedicate so much resource into creating their own manufacture so early on in their journey, but founders Serge Michel and Claude Greisler clearly thought this was what was required to create the watches they wanted to create, with 98% of their movement components manufacturers in-house which is extremely impressive when you think they employ around 45 people. This is what independent watchmaking is all about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular reference is known as the Tribute 1, and is their time-only reference. Let's start with the case, which measures in at 38mm in diameter, and just 9.38mm thick, with a lug to lug under 45mm. It is highly detailed in its constructions, with shaped lugs that are strong, yet sleek and combine with the vertically brushed and polished case to convey a watch that while of a dress-watch size, is more of a daily watch not restricted to formal situations. The polished bezel is quite thin, leaving a lot of room for the dial, which makes it appear perhaps a millimetre or two larger than it is on the wrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin this case lies a stunning off-centre sub-dial for the time, which is surrounded by a grained black finish. The star of the show is perhaps the highly finished bridge which holds the mainspring barrel. This barrel and spring store enough power at full wind to keep it running for an impressive 100 hours thanks to its perfect positioning within the movement, and the unique design of the motor barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlip it over and you'll find the rest of the in-house movement staring back through a sapphire crystal. This is their hand finished AMW21 manual wind, featuring a traditional German 3\/4 plate with vibrant Geneva Stripes, polished countersinks, hand polished bevels, and internal angles in the finger bridge. Like Lange, each movement is assembled twice, and it is not only technically capable but very beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eFinishing it off is a supple' gator strap with steel deployant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece was first sold in 2022 and presents in TZ 'Good' condition. The case itself shows barely any wear, with some minor scratches on the brushed surfaces, and some small marks on the bezel. The reason for the 'Good' rather than 'Near Mint' grading is the presence of some very small nicks on the upper left side of the bezel near 9 on the sub-dial, and a ding on the corner of the lower left lug which can't be seen when on the wrist.

The Fifty Fathoms is the original dive watch, with a history dating back to 1953 where it created the first dive watch for the Frogmen of the French Navy. Fast forward to 2021, and we have one of the most highly finished, robust and stunning dive watches on the market, the Bathyscaphe in Ceramic. While some folks like to compare these to Subs, they're a different watch in our opinion. This is a luxury diver, with proper dive watch credentials should you wish to use them, but occupies a space that sits in a different niche with it's high finishing levels and beautiful movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilising the same 43.6mm case as the regular Bathy, it is now crafted from ceramic. While this material can often look a touch dull, not here. It retains the regular finishing levels that Blancpain is known for, with satin brushed flanks and lugs, with polished bevels in a superb black finish. The dial within is a spectacular sunburst black, with applied markers and a discreet date at 4. The 120-click ceramic bezel has a black ceramic inlay, and the watch strikes a wonderful balance between out and out tool watch, and something that could very much so be worn with a suit...or a dive suit, if testing the 300 metres of water resistance is your thing. It's the perfect luxury diver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering it is the spectacular calibre 1315 with monstrous 120 hour power reserve and a very high level of finish, and its mounted to Blancpain's awesome black textile strap with one of the finest brushed ceramic buckles on the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece was purchased locally in 2020 and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition, with barely any hints of wear present thanks to the ceramic case.
