Kurono Tokyo by Hajime Asaoka Anniversary Green Mori
Kurono Tokyo by Hajime Asaoka Anniversary Green Mori
For those unaware of Kurono Tokyo, it is the sub-brand of renowned independent watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, whom is widely regarded as one of the top watchmakers in the world. 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.
Thought released at very accessible price points, they have amassed a huge following within the independent watch community and each release sells out in under 5 minutes. This has led to extremely high demand on the secondary market, and it seems everyone wants in on the Kurono action.
When you take a closer look at this Mori, it’s not hard to see why. Released to commemorate the first anniversary of Kurono Tokyo, it features the usual stainless 37mm, but houses the most spectacular green dial that is extremely difficult to capture in photos. It varies across different shades, from viridian, to pine, emerald and forest green. It’s spectacular. It is powered by the usual 90S5 high-grade Miyota movement, and is assembled in Japan by hand.
This particular piece was first sold in June 2020 and presents in TZ mint condition. Case doesn’t show any marks that we can see other than perhaps the lightest of swirls marks, and faint creasing in the strap. See images for full condition details.
Comes with outer box, inner box, instruction manual, Kurono bracelet and pouch, and warranty booklet.
If you can’t tell, we’re huge fans of Kurono here at Watch Vault. Unfortunately we weren’t quick enough to secure a Mori for ourselves, just as most people weren’t given it’s limited nature. If you weren’t so lucky like us, then at least you have a chance to get this as-new example locally, and right away.
