His journey highlights the growing appreciation for artisanal watchmaking and the dedication required to secure such exclusive pieces.
I believe the wait now is a lot longer. Until two days ago I was the proud owner of a Murakumo but had not worn the watch at all after two years of ownership. I therefore decided to sell it on as I prefer to wear my watches. As the watch is intensively black polished especially on the case, the bezel is easily susceptible to scratches so this watch was merely an exhibition piece at home. Enjoy your though!
The wait now for a Kikuchi is indefinite as they have closed their order books last year. Prior to their closing of orders the waitlist is about 12 years?
on your part. Well done.
thanks I love those hands
2 and a half years ago, quite alot of my pals thought I have lost my mind to put in an order for a watch I have not handled before and will take up to 3 years to make by a relatively unknown Japanese independent watchmaker then. Very glad I pulled the trigger.
Sham, saw from the other thread that you have picked up the Eichi2 in rose gold. That is a sublime timepiece. Enjoy in good health, I had the good fortune to have picked up the platinum piece some years back
