Kurono Tokyo Reserve de Marche (“Sensu N.O.S.”)
Look Ma, no date ! LOL, for the purists out there this is big decision. And the dials here most definitely have not be ruined by the inclusion of a date window. Anyways, I stopped the Kurono Boutique in Aoyama earlier to see these watches. And so for anyo...
We would be a good pair then, with contrasting choices.
It was a nice one too, but it just didn’t sing to me the way the blue dial does.
That was my impression too.
Yes, there is a lot going on with that dial, but my impression was that it had balance and so it worked.
Thanks for sharing
I really like that blue dial with Kanji characters. The size is great too.
It really was very nice in person.
The blue as I said is interesting, not like anything else I can recall. And the Kanji, plus the smaller brand name, make it well balanced.
Good looking watch.
But I would never ever participate in such a ridiculous time pressured ordering process !!
😂
I understand that. It’s kinda like many folks don’t like to stand in line for restaurants, something I was thinking a lot about this week as I’ve done it several times. When I was younger, I was happy to do so. Most of my friends would no longer want to d...
Thanks a lot for sharing, it is nice to see them in the flesh before they go on for sale. Usually Asaoka does not communicate on the exact numbers, but yes it is usually in the 100s.
I love the blus dial, for the japanese numbering and the colour. I am less fan of the off-white one, as it reminds me too much of cheap Orient watches
The staff did indicate rough numbers…
…but honestly I can’t remember what they said. 😬
Blue for me too.
They always have them to see in person at the Boutique. Coincidentally I’ve just happened to be here a few times in advance of releases since the Boutique opened.
I think so too.
Note, if you are here then go to the Boutique. They have all the Kurono models for you to see; not to buy just to see. It’s helpful to be able to try them one and see what’s good for your wrist. Personally, doing that on prior trips made my mind up on the...
Great pics, thanks for posting!
I have to say that the blue dial is my favorite, but the other is very nice too. Wasn't on my radar, but will definitely check it out. And yes, a nice size as you said.
Good size, although lugs are a little longer so it maybe wears a tad bigger.
Definitely the blue dial was the favourite for me.
Lovely pics
Both look very good tbh… but the blue has something a little extra. Agree with some of the comments though regarding the 24h indicator in absence of date or gmt indicator… but cool nevertheless if one lives very far north or south on this planet Good luck...
