Watch box from Japan
Hi everyone,
Please let me share my new watch box with you... I was impressed by other members posting products from Toyooka Craft in Japan and had to order a piece for myself! I especially like the craftsmanship as they employ the "kumi-ki" method whereby they construct products using only wood - no nails, hinges, etc just precision fitting with wood.

They use North American Alder wood and I quite like the shade of brown.
Removing the cushions reveals the pillar like separators underneath
which I also really enjoy.

Another cool detail is that they cut out a slot for the felt covering the cushion so that the bottom of the felt is completely flush with the wood.

My humble 3 Amigos of Seiko... and a wrist shot of my beloved "Blue Spark" ref. SCVS013

Hope you enjoyed and wishing everyone the best in the final days of 2021, and all the best for 2022!
Regards,
Chris
