Posted on by Buy from Japan | Personal Shopper Japan

This time, collaboration between Hakuichi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, President: Tatsuya Asano) and Knot Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Musashino City, Tokyo, Representative Director: Hiromitsu Endo) has been realized, and Knot Co., Ltd.

Hakuichi and Knot collaboration model

[Background to collaboration]

Knot Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Knot), which provides high-quality MADE IN JAPAN watches, is a pioneer of customized watches. Knot’s philosophy is not just to send out products, but to connect people’s thoughts through manufacturing and convey the splendor of traditional Japanese technology and manufacturing. This feeling is in line with Hakuichi’s commitment to manufacturing, and this collaboration model has been released.

[About the “Premium Automatic Series” 2022 Limited Model]

This time, as a 2022 limited model, two models with beautiful dials with “platinum foil” will be released.

ATC-40SVPT

See-through back

A state of sprinkling platinum foil

The dial is the most visible place, but when the decoration becomes gorgeous, the visibility decreases. After repeated trial and error with Knot’s designer who wanted to express the beauty of the material while making it a simple design, “Platinum foil” was finally adopted. By sprinkling “cutting around” platinum foil in the shape of flakes, the overlapping of the foils is expressed as a delicate expression. In addition, the “scattering technique” is adopted for the three-needle type of see-through back where the movement of the movement can be seen. This is a technique that was adopted because of its good compatibility with glass materials, inspired by Guerlain’s perfume bottles and glassware “Stardust”, which have a proven track record in Hakuichi, at the stage of considering samples.

[What is Maker’s Watch Knot]

We are a pioneer of custom watch brands aiming to provide Japan quality at a reasonable price all over the world by realizing collaboration with world-class technology and traditional crafts and eliminating waste of distribution. In the past, limited models with Aizu lacquer, Koshu Inden, and Hiroshima denim have been released. There are 11 directly managed stores in Japan.

“Sakura” watch in collaboration with Daizo Makihara, an independent watchmaker certified as the third Japanese watch–IGNITE

Posted on by Buy from Japan | Personal Shopper Japan

I want to give a Japanese-style wristwatch that feels “Japanese” to an important person.

A collaboration between D2C watch maker pioneer Maker’s Watch Knot and Daizo Makihara, who became the third Japanese independent watchmaker academy member, has finally been realized with a work that incorporates the technique and image of “Japanese”. We have started accepting applications at Crowdfunding Makuake.

Japan limited edition watch

Daizo Makihara, one of the best watch engineers

An “independent watchmaker” is the highest-class watchmaker who does not belong to a specific manufacturer and creates original works from scratch with his own ideas and high technology. Works that are manufactured over months or years can be valued at hundreds of millions of yen.

The Swiss-based AHCI “Academy of Independent Watchmakers” has less than 40 members worldwide. Daizo Makihara was the third Japanese to be certified as one of the world’s best watch technicians.

Two types of watches with the motif of “Sakura”, which Mr. Daizo Makihara engraves himself.

The biggest feature of this model is that Mr. Makihara engraved each one.

Two types of open heart designs are available, one is “Fuou”, which reminds us of the image of cherry blossoms floating in the river, and the other is “Rinou”, which is a round window. did.

Zaratsu polishing case by skilled craftsmen

The main body case made by “Hayashi Seiki Manufacturing”, which has a history of more than 100 years, which is the only one in Japan. Zaratsu polishing, which requires a very high level of skill, is a technology that can only be achieved by “Hayashi Seiki Manufacturing”.

Cherry blossom petals emerging in the see-through back

Like the dial, the cherry blossom motif is studded on the sapphire glass on the back cover. From the see-through back, you can see the high-beat movement made in Japan that vibrates 28,800 vibrations per hour. In addition, a serial number unique to the limited model is included.

A set of rare crocodile straps that you can choose from 4 colors

For the strap, we will deliver the crocodile leather strap, the king of exotic leather, which is suitable for a special wristwatch that will live with you for a lifetime, as a special set exclusively for Makuake.

Enjoy customization

This special model can be replaced with a Knot strap. Enjoy coordinating your watch to match the coordination of the day. You can try custom at the online shop as well as the custom experience at the gallery shop.

Initial engraving is also possible as an option

This time, we have prepared an additional option for initial engraving exclusively for Makuake. Initials can be engraved on the side of the case and between the lugs (plus 5,500 yen).

The biggest attraction of Daizo Makihara’s work is the delicate “metal engraving” and “Edo Kiriko” that have a “Japanese” taste. This model also expresses Makihara’s world view with Makihara’s engraving and needles designed in the image of Edo Kiriko.

The list price is ¥ 268,180. Currently, Makuake sells it at a limited price. Make a rarely designed wristwatch a gift.

The sword made by Masamune is a samurai’s sword that has been highly evaluated as a practical sword, but also has a confident putting as a practical putter. It was designed as something that can be done.
“There are only 200 putters in Japan and around the world. We will sell them from 15 ARGOLF dealers who first recognized the goodness of ARGOLF.

A prototype of will be exhibited at the Japan Golf Fair in March, and actual sales are scheduled for mid-April. We believe that Japanese golfers will surely understand the goodness of ARGOLF putters, which are carefully made one by one using the same materials and manufacturing methods, as well as aviation parts that require high reliability such as quality, strength and durability. We are here. I hope that will be the predecessor, “commented Naoki Iwata.
