I hope you had a nice meal while in the Kurono neighborhood of Aoyama. There is a Lexus restaurant that I hosted a WatchProSite GTG at!
I've never visited the Kurono store, but I do visit the Aoyama area. The Lexus restaurant has a wall filled with various car parts - all painted white and a beautiful dining area that feels like a library filled with books on automotive design. The bathroom has a ceiling filled with toy model cars. And the food was very healthy and lunch was only around $15 USD! F.P. Journe is also adjacent to the Lexus restaurant. You do need an appointment at F.P. Journe.
I really wanted to Love Kurono
I thought the Vermillion might just be a must have, but sadly it didn’t speak to me. I probably liked the blue dial no date more. Plus, I wouldn’t say the salesperson interaction was stellar. She just handed me the watch and zero communication. Still , ni...
I like the hands
But they don’t do anything for me either. I think at that price point you really don’t get the case it needs. I notice that with so many brands. If I think about it, it’s almost always the quality of the case.
Agree 💯.
I own two but gave them to my wife . Lovely watches but not that exciting to wear imho
That really is a stunning looking Kurono Tokyo Special Projects Réserve de Marche "SENSU N.O.S."
I really like the first one with the blue guilloche dial and the kanji hour markers and think that the shade of blue is just beautiful, I am not keen on the orange one at all. I am OK with the case but having not held one in hand after the comments here w...
It could be a language barrier.
If you spoke Japanese, maybe the salesperson would likely be able to communicate more. Could be that salesperson didn't feel confident with their English? Who knows, maybe you got a salesperson who speaks perfect English but just not talkative (your post ...

I was at the Kurono store, it’s small and intimate. They had a good selection of watches.
Sometimes I’m feeling the watch shopping vibe ( especially when a salesperson is engaging and notices what I’m wearing ) that didn’t occur and perhaps for the reasons Patrick brings up. Either way, I like the brand and what they are doing…just not for me....
Not really impressed. The hands look very cheap and the number in the date cutout looks too large.
I've never heard of them before but it seems very unimpressive.
