─ An Unbroken Sense of Beauty ─

At the heart of this model

is the rare slim hand-wound movement "Cal.402", produced for only a few years.

The meticulous craftsmanship of its watchmakers

is distilled within a slim, low-profile case.

Delicate dot indices tracing the edge of the dial,

and the "fish emblem" on the crown, a mark of trust.

An aesthetic carried through to the smallest detail

lends quiet dignity to every moment of daily life.

─ A Companion on the Wrist Across Time ─

The calm patina that only a vintage watch,

handed down across the ages, can possess.

Its understated, poised expression suits business settings, of course,

and sits comfortably with attire for special occasions as well.

The pleasing feel of hand-winding — the very origin of the mechanical watch.

Why not bring a luxurious time into your everyday life, accompanied by the soft sound of the passing seconds?
