Norcane, which attracts attention every time a new product comes out, has announced a Japan-limited model “Wild One Skeleton JP 42MM”. The robustness created by the unique material, the light heartbeat of the skeleton movement, and the limited edition color developed exclusively for Japan. Encapsulating the brand’s philosophy and technology, this special piece is not to be missed.
The powerful case design of the flagship model “Wild One” is the first to adopt anthracite gray, black, and turquoise color schemes. The deep color palette tightens the exterior shape and quietly exudes a strong presence.
In the past few years, Norcane, which has often been mentioned as a notable brand by watch enthusiasts and experts, started from scratch as a family business in 2018 in Switzerland, a fertile land of watch culture. Although it is an emerging brand, its sincere attitude and challenging and reliable manufacturing have attracted a lot of attention, and it has quickly increased its presence. The fact that Jean=Claude Biver, a watch heavyweight who has been active in Blancpain, Hublot, and the LVMH Group, has expressed interest and is participating as an advisor speaks volumes about its potential.
The brand, which has been showing such excitement, has announced the “Wild One Skeleton JP 42MM” limited to Japan.
Speaking of “Wild One”, it is a sports watch that represents the brand using Nortech, a carbon composite material developed in-house. It is incomparably lighter than a metal case, while also ensuring high impact resistance. The exterior is a structure made of multiple parts, and shock-absorbing parts are incorporated into the middle case, making it a thoroughly thoughtful practicality as a sports watch. By expressing this with a skeleton dial, the heartbeat of the movement and the movement of the mechanism are visually revealed, and the unique charm of a mechanical watch is completed.
And what I would like to pay attention to in this work is the special color scheme that was thought out only for the Japan market. The deep black Nortech case is complemented by an anthracite gray middle case and rubber strap for an elegant sporty look. In addition, the turquoise on the tip of the hands and the inner dial add freshness.
Among the “Wild One” with a wide variety of variations, the fact that it is a coloring exclusive to this model cannot be overlooked. The “Wild One Skeleton JP 42MM”, which is exclusive to Japan by a popular brand that has never stopped gaining momentum, will be another presence that will attract the attention of the watch world.

On the side of the case, a Nortek “Norcane plate” is placed. It can be personalized by engraving your name or message, making it a more special piece.
The back cover is engraved with “JAPAN SPECIAL EDITION”, quietly telling that it is a special model limited to Japan. The strong exterior boasting 5000G shock resistance and 200m water resistance is the high-precision COSC-certified chronometer “Norcane Calibre N08S”.

The “Wild One Skeleton JP 42MM” was first unveiled at the event “NORQAIN PEAKS” held on October 30th.
Newly appointed ambassador = Norkainer, gymnastics boy Shinnosuke Oka, took the stage and celebrated the announcement of his new work. Oka achieved the feat of winning three gold medals in one event, the first time in 52 years for a Japan team in gymnastics, which is an Olympic flower sport.
“Norcane is a brand that adheres to its own style with the aim of becoming the pinnacle of Swiss watches, and the gymnastics club I belong to also aims to be the best gymnastics club in Japan, so I sympathize with that spirit. Olympic athletes are all about results, but I also want to focus on being the strongest and best as a person,” he said, commenting on his enthusiasm on his appointment as Norkainer.
At the event, sports climber Tomoa Narasaki, who is also a Norkaner, and Takumi Kitaguchi, a manager and representative of Grand Central, who is active in the business field, took the stage and held a one-night-only talk event to discuss the theme of “challenge” which is the brand philosophy. Episodes of challenges that transcended their respective domains, including players and managers, were exchanged, and the venue was very excited.
