TAKANO Chateau

─ An Aesthetic That Bloomed and Vanished ─

In the late 1950s, TAKANO (Takano Precision Industry) shone briefly but brightly.

With a production span of little more than four years, it is often called the “phantom maker.”

Fine vertical stripes across the black dial cast subtle shadows as the light shifts.

─ A Rectangular Case with a Modern Line ─

The square case, finished in a thick 20-micron gold plating, has a composed and graceful presence.

Its straight lines and gold-toned indices give the wrist a refined individuality.

A design in which the classic and the modern meet.

─ History in Every Beat ─

It is powered by a 19-jewel hand-wound calibre that still keeps time today.

The stainless steel caseback retains engravings that speak of the craftsmanship of its era.

A piece of history you may not encounter again.
