Specialist note

Created by master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, Kurono Toyko was established with an aim to deliver to watch collectors a more accessible timepiece that shares the core design ‘DNA’ of Hajime atelier at a much more affordable level.

‘Chronograph 2’ is the 2nd iteration of Kurono Toyko's chronograph line. Featuring a 38 mm diameter case, this sector dial is very similar to those which were popular such as the Patek Philippe 130. Also worth noting is that the central seconds hand, as well as the hour and minutes hands, are bent at the tip that enhanced the legibility on the multi-layered dial which are often overlooked by brands.

The present watch is presented in perfect condition and being part of a limited production run ‘in the hundreds’, it is a rare opportunity to acquire an innovative and creative piece from an up-and-coming brand.
