Introducing the new Kurono Special Projects 37mm INSEKI ‘隕石’, a personal study by Hajime Asaoka as he brings meteorite into the Kurono Tokyo design language after many years of contemplation.

Gray meteorite is complemented by a white lacquered ring that features Hajime's personally designed Calligra typeface painted in high relief, with the monochromatic look finished with hand-bent high-polished steel hands.

" ’d actually been thinking about using meteorite for Kurono for quite some time. I felt that the contrast between meteorite’s rugged texture and our soft, gentle case design would be fascinating. But there were two challenges in bringing the idea to life. One of the defining features of the Kurono Tokyo is its cylindrical dial, and I wanted to preserve that even when working with meteorite. Shaping meteorite itself into a cylindrical form is extremely difficult, so I explored a bull’s-eye design instead—using meteorite for the central section and giving the surrounding area a gentle curve toward the outer edge. With this approach, I think we achieved a meteorite dial that still feels distinctly like a Kurono Tokyo." -  
Hajime Osaoka.

 "The meteorite we used is called the Muonionalusta meteorite, which fell in what is now Sweden roughly one million years ago. Its main component is iron, and when you cut and etch it, differences in its crystalline structure reveal distinctive natural patterns. Because of this, every meteorite dial is unique; no two are ever the same. At times, though, the pattern can turn out somewhat plain—that was the second challenge. To address this, I personally inspected every single dial and selected only those with compelling patterns. As proof of that selection, I added my personal seal to the dial. A million years is long before the emergence of humankind. When you glance at your watch to check your plans for the day and see a piece of meteorite that has endured for such an immense span of time, the hours of everyday life start to feel incredibly small. That’s what I felt while wearing the prototype. This watch may even make you a little more relaxed (perhaps too relaxed) about time. Consider yourself warned :)"

Individually selected dials

At times, the natural pattern of meteorite can appear understated. To ensure that only the most visually compelling meteorite patterns were used, Hajime Asaoka personally inspected every single dial.

Only those with strong, well-defined character were selected for final assembly. As a mark of this personal selection, each watch bears Hajime’s own seal on the dial.

Unique Calligra typeface

Hajime Asaoka drew upon his art school training in lettering and personally hand-drew each of the Breguet numerals (1 to 12) using a pen to ensure an authentic, human touch, similar to how original Breguet markers were created two centuries ago.

The best examples were then carefully selected, enlarged, and used as the original template. Here, the indices are painted black in high relief against white lacquer.

About MUONIONALUSTA

The Muonionalusta meteorite is an iron-nickel meteorite classified as a fine octahedrite (type IVA). It is one of the oldest known meteorites found on Earth, with a formation age estimated at over 4.5 billion years, predating the Earth itself. Studies have shown it impacting the Earth (northern Scandinavia) during the Quaternary Period, about one million years ago. 

 Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

It is quite clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall on our planet. Since then, it has survived four separate ice ages, which helped preserve its structure in the Arctic permafrost.

Widmanstätten Pattern: When sliced and etched with acid, it reveals a striking geometric crystal structure known as the Widmanstätten pattern. These patterns form through the extremely slow cooling of iron-nickel alloy in space—roughly 1°C every million years. 

 Composition: It consists of approximately 91% iron and 8.4% nickel, with trace amounts of rare elements like gallium, germanium, and iridium.

At Kurono Tokyo, we conduct ultraviolet exposure tests during the development stage. Here’s how we do it: we take a prototype dial and stick it to the south-facing window of my atelier. Half of the dial is covered with black tape. It then stays exposed to sunlight—about 40 days in summer and 60 days in winter. This is equivalent to more than 10 years of exposure under normal use. At the end of the test, the black tape is removed, and we check whether there is any difference in color. I had long wanted to create a chronograph with a vivid orange dial, but most paints (pigments) failed this test. Only two pigments passed: ‘selenium red’ and ‘vermilion.’ These were the vivid orange colors I had finally found that would not fade.” ~ Hajime Asaoka

KURONO Tokyo – Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' Anniversary Edition

KURONO Tokyo – SPECIAL PROJECTS Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍'. Anniversary Special Edition 2025

Kurono is proud to present its 2025 anniversary timepiece - the Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍'. This is a definitive release for 2025. Not only is this a highly anticipated anniversary model, but this year’s will be a little more special in conjunction with Hajime Asaoka’s 60th Diamond Jubilee.

New Guilloché Dial in White-Indigo '白藍' (Shiraai)

Hajime Asaoka brings back his highly successful Réserve de Marche‘ Sensu NOS’ - which sold out in minutes - in a bright metallic baby blue colorway formally named '白藍' (Shiraai). This is the first time since the 2021 Seiji that such a similar colorway has been used. Its vibrancy is further accentuated on a silver-plated guilloche dial giving unparalleled lightplay. 

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

A chrysanthemum-like wave guilloche pattern radiates outward from the center of the dial, and is complemented by the iconic 'Sensu' (Japanese folding fan) guilloche at the power-reserve indicator. At the periphery, railway-track guilloché is complemented by high polished steel domes at each hourly mark. Unique Kanji script in black is painted at each hour marker to complete this unique dial.

End-Of-Life (EOL) Movement Modified by Hajime Asaoka

Last year’s ‘Sensu NOS’ used a new old stock NOS movement which is no longer available. The new Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' leverages a discontinued cal.9133 movement that is end-of-life, and no longer made.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Only a limited number of these EOL movements have been made available to Kurono, and we do not have access to more. Additionally, so as to achieve dial purity, modifications were made by Hajime Asaoka to remove the calendar window and its geartrain, making this finite movement even more unique.

Jubilee Cabochon in Precious Onyx

To mark his 60th Diamond Jubilee, a precious black onyx cabochon adorns the watch's crown for the very first time. This new feature marks the rarity and limited nature of this year’s releases for the occasion of Hajime Asaoka’s 60th.

'白藍' (shiraai) White Indigo Dial Color

“Japan has a long-standing tradition of indigo dyeing, known as 'Aizome'. Depending on the depth of
color, various names are used to describe the different shades of indigo. Among them, the lightest
shade is called 白藍 'Shiraai' (literally "white indigo"). The dial of this watch is inspired by that 白藍
'Shiraai' hue."

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

“What makes indigo dyeing unique is how the tone of the color changes with its intensity. When lightly
dyed, it takes on a slightly greenish tint, and as it becomes deeper, it gradually shifts toward a purplish
hue. However, since the watch dial is made of metal, traditional indigo dyeing is not practical. Instead, I
provided a piece of fabric dyed in actual shiraai as a color sample for the dial manufacturer, and a soft
lacquer finish was applied using pigments, with Prussian blue serving as a substitute.”

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

“Using Prussian blue as a stand-in for traditional indigo is, in fact, a historically rooted practice in Japan
like in ukiyo-e prints by Katsushika Hokusai, with the color subsequently dubbed as 'Hokusai Blue'.
Prussian Blue was particularly effective for producing delicate, pale blue tones. In that sense, the blue
on this dial can also be described as 'Hokusai Blue'." ~ Hajime Asaoka

Unique End-Of-Life (EOL) Movement, Modified by Hajime Asaoka

Finding a Japan-made movement that exactly suits Hajime Asaoka’s design intention was incredibly challenging. Last year’s ‘Sensu NOS’ used a new old stock NOS movement which is no longer available. The new Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' leverages a discontinued cal.9133 movement that is end-of-life, and no longer made. Only a limited number of these EOL movements have been made available to Kurono. There is no other Japan-made movement being produced that meets the needs of Sensei's aesthetic requirement of the power reserve indicator (Sensu/fan) at the 10 o’clock mark.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Additionally, to maintain the purity of the dial design envisioned by Hajime Asaoka, modifications were made at his bench to remove the calendar window and its accompanying gear train. While sounding simple, such modifications are technically time-consuming and require certain watchmaker man-hours to be put in. This, together with the finite availability of the EOL movement, makes the Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' even more unique.

Jubilee Cabochon in Precious Onyx

To mark his 60th Diamond Jubilee, a precious black onyx cabochon, highly polished by hand, adorns the watch's crown for the very first time.

"I've always liked crowns with cabochons, and I thought the Jubilee was the perfect chance to incorporate it. There were several stone options to consider - like lapis lazuli - but that is a blue-toned stone. And since the dial is also blue, it wouldn't have created much contrast. I felt the sharpness of black would beautifully completment the soft tone of the dial, so I decided to go with precious onyx." ~ Hajime Asaoka

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This new feature marks the rarity and limited nature of this year’s releases for the occasion of Hajime Asaoka’s 60th. This cabochon crown is a jubilee feature and will not be available after which. 

 Meticulous Attention to Detail for Lightplay

The Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' benefits from Hajime Asaoka's 'Kaizen' spirit of continuous improvement, which sees slightly better polishing of the box sapphire crystal and polished steel elements, while Kurono's iconic hands continue to be bent by human hands and highly polished in steel to accentuate lightplay.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The dial takes on different personas depending on the time of day and the type of light source. Under yellow light, the dial takes on a bluish-green tinge that is warm and romantic, whilst under white indoor lights it transforms into something a lot more pure and composed.

We encourage customers to see the Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' under bright daylight to see the scintillating effect of the dial. 

Power reserve indicator

The recessed power reserve indicator in guilloche takes on the shape of a 'Sensu' or Japanese fan, creating a sunken effect that adds dimensionality.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

"The beauty of mechanical watches, especially automatic ones, are that they quietly 'steal' bits of energy from our daily movement and use it as power. The power reserve hand clearly visualizes that. That’s where the charm of the power reserve lies, and I think that’s what gives it meaning."

UNIQUE KANJI MARKERS

The Jubilee Sensu EOL '白藍' incorporates unique Kanji hour markers. These logographic characters, fundamental to the Japanese writing system, are artistically expressed in Hajime Asaoka's signature calligraphy style.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

"This time, I deliberately replaced “12” with the Kanji “零,” which means “zero” in English. As for “7” (written as 質) I chose a slightly different character."

KURONO Tokyo – Chronograph P1 SHANGHAI Special Edition

KURONO Tokyo – Complications Chronograph P1 SHANGHAI Special Edition 2024

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In celebration of Kurono's first salon overseas in Shanghai, we are proud to introduce a one-time-only chronograph small-batch - the new Chronograph P1 Shanghai Special Edition - our first date-less chronograph with a unique dial design, with pointilism technique used to achieve the red-brown hue of the dial accent.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A very special off-schedule release to commemorate our first overseas salon in Shanghai, the P in the P1 denotes Purists - with this being the first dateless chronograph Kurono has launched. This strive for dial purity is in response to collector requests since the very first Chronograph 1 was launched.

The result is an extremely refined chronograph with the purest interpretation of Hajime Asaoka's design language.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

"The original Japan-made NE86 movement is an automatic chronograph movement that features a vertical clutch and a column wheel, and I highly value its performance and reliability.

However, one unfortunate aspect is that there are no movements available without a date. As a result, every time we release a chronograph, some customers have shared that they would prefer a version without a date. Unfortunately, due to these circumstances, it has been difficult to fulfill this request." ~ Hajime Asaoka

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Creating a date-less chronograph is not as simple as just removing the date function, and took years to perfect in prototyping. Hajime Asaoka took time to improve and personally modify the original movement into a single-pull design.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 Now powered by an in-house modified NE86PWT vertical clutch and column wheel movement, for the P1 Hajime-sensei designed a classically clean dial with a Gothic typeface on its 12 and 6 indexes, and showcases a medium carmine, white, and black color palette.

"If you simply remove the date window and keep the crown as a two-stage pull, it's easy to create a Time-Only watch, and some watches do just that. However, such a rough approach doesn't suit Kurono Tokyo.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 Therefore, we decided to remove the date window and change the crown mechanism to a single-stage pull. The Chronograph P1 we are releasing this time features my own unique modification of the NE86." ~ Hajime Asaoka

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

A significant amount of watchmaking hours is needed to modify the movement in-house and to ensure seamless operation and high reliability. This contributes to the once-off availability of the Chronograph P1 Shanghai Special Edition. The P1 will not be repeated.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

"The conventional date window is also a design element, so removing it means creating a completely new dial design. The numbers 12 and 6 are the same as those used in the Calendrier indexes. To be honest, this chronograph was designed before the Calendrier, but the Calendrier was released first because it took longer to modify the chronograph to a single-stage pull." ~ Hajime Asaoka

KURONO – COMPLICATIONS Anniversary Calendrier ‘Azuki’

KURONO Tokyo – THE COMPLICATIONS SERIES Anniversary Calendrier ‘Azuki’ 38mm 2023 

 OVERVIEW

The Kurono Anniversary Calendrier ‘Azuki’ is a triple calendar complication that achieved finalist recognition at the GPHG Awards 2022. It will be the final edition of the Calendrier Type I model which will be discontinued after this run. As a complete calendar, 'Azuki' is one of our most complicated models from a horological perspective. 

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Significant effort was put into achieving the deep maroon color of the dial, including using phosphor-bronze* as a dial material for the first time. (*phosphor-bronze is multitudes harder to machine than the more commonly used brass.) Also unique for this final run of the Calendrier Type I, 'Azuki's' hour markers are further finished in off-white to provide a perfect contrast to its vintage maroon dial color.

INSPIRATION

Hajime Asaoka wanted to achieve a color that harked back to cars of the past, where maroon was a popular standard color. In Japan, that car color is more commonly designated as 'azuki' (tr: 'red bean') hence the nickname for the watch.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

"I think the last Japanese car to have a maroon color was the Datsun 240Z. I don't know if this color was exported, but in Japan, the Datsun 240Z was associated with maroon. I personally like the maroon color very much. However, it is a very difficult color to paint on a watch face. For a deep maroon color, it is necessary to add a dye to the pigment. This requires a thicker coating of paint. This is no problem for a car body, but very difficult for a watch face."

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

"This is why you hardly ever see a (deep) maroon watch face."

"This time, as usual, I mixed the maroon myself and gave it to the dial maker as a color sample. The coating was quite thick. I wondered if the dial maker would be able to finish the color the way I wanted. After a while, the dial maker sent me the sample. The person in charge of the project said that he had gone through a lot of trouble, but the finished dial was superb. The sample I sent was painted on a white plastic plate, but by using a reddish "phosphor bronze" material for the dial itself, they were able to achieve a deep color tone while reducing the coating film. Of course, great care was also taken in the color mixing of the paint itself." ~ Hajime Asaoka

DETAIL

Dial

Azuki's dial enhances the "beauty of symmetry" that is a component of the Art Deco style. The cylinder dial is designed to curve from the center to the outer edge of the dial, and two dial layers are pressed together to create a three -dimensional effect.

The numerals themselves - this time colored in off-white for this anniversary - are also purposefully printed in a raised format. To achieve its unique deep-maroon color, the dial is made from phosphor-bronze for the first time.

Case

The case is made of forged 316L stainless steel. It is newly designed to fit the coin-edged bezel, but keeps the iconic Kurono case DNA. The case sides are mirror -finished. The mirror finish is free from distortion, so much so that exterior reflections are beautifully portrayed.

Also, when viewed from the side, the mirror finish and the coin-edge bezel can be seen to stand out in their respective finishes. Water resistance has been increased to 5 ATM. The case-back is finished with a circular lettering design, as seen on vintage watches.

Sapphire crystal

The scratch-resistant box sapphire crystal is raised like the acrylic glass of a vintage watch. 

 

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Designed for the Calendrier 'Type I', its shape is 0.15 mm higher than that of an ordinary sapphire box crystal.

Unique Hand-bent Hands

The combination of high- polish leaf hands for the hour and minute hands with modern hands is a typical Kurono design. The hour and minute hands are curved at both ends, and are paired with a counterweighted second hand that is very thin. The tips of the second and minute hands are bent by hand.

Movement

Miyota 9122 - a Japan-made movement - is used. It is a rare movement with "center seconds and full calendar," which is uncommon in current Swiss-made mass-produced ebauches.
