Kurono Tokyo Chronograph 3 HISUI:翡翠

Morning Crunchers!

Some background: Kurono Tokyo is a more attainable brand by master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka. They release in limited productions (100s) and are never produced again.

Does anyone have any of their previous models? This chronograph is priced quite high in my opinion at $3460 but I still kinda want it. Would love to hear other’s thoughts on this!

Yeah USD 😅

I've seen a few here on WC and they're always stunning pieces. Love their stuff, and this one is no exception.

·

I just posted this myself. I’m not the biggest fan of chronographs but this is super dope.

·

Lovely watch but too juicy for me.

·

I Think this is absolutely gorgeous! I'll have to think about it for a bit but after considering the releases I've seen this year, this one seems to be my immediate favorite.

·

Seen a few of their pieces in person. The finishing and dial refinement is immaculate. With the added chronograph complication, I would say the price is totally reasonable when you look at the competition in that range.

😍

Love the watch.

·

This one is sweeping the app.

·

Are Kurono watches too good looking? Evidence points to yes.

·

the previous releases were at around 2000 usd for the chronos right ? I liked the last one the azuki one, does someone see a diffrence which could compensate for the price hike ?

The Azuki was a Calendrier model that shows the day and month on the subdials. It was $1,850.

I have the Azuki, and I love it. Wears super well with a captivating dial. I say go for it 👍

This is one brand you can trust they won’t disappoint… 🤞
