Independents

Hajime Asaoka is back. A new Kurono will be coming soon and in line with the previous sales approach, it will be offered on a single day and in non-limited quantity for those who order it. It is from the Reiwa series and has a two part dial, with a lapis ...  

especially the side of the strap has green elements to match the dial. My main qualm with Kurono is that the Miyota movement used does not keep good time. A La Joux Perret movement may cost a bit more but they keep much better time.

I have two Kuronos and have not noticed a noticeable deviation but maybe that is because I don’t wear them often enough and don’t track time 😅 Maybe I should do so.

still one week to make up my mind ...

...  

So far I am happy, they look both very nice in terms of case, hands and dial work. The reason why I bought them was their design and I don’t mind the simple movement. At this price point and even in the price level above, I struggle to find dress watches ...
