You mean the people of Singapore aren't woke yet. After all, that's where the watch comes from... Scratch that... Ships from.... You mean the people of Chain aren't woke yet, after all that's where most of the parts come from.

they should have got their act together a lot better so as not to confuse potential customers. Small independents already have the disadvantage of people being worried about the continuity, longetivity and after sales service of the brand. At least they c...
And it was a wonderful and well-executed plan. But then the “IN” crowd got into KT and it became an overnight sensation (much like Journe after a certain second hand retailer went on the blitz offensive). All of a sudden, you just HAD to have a KT in your...
Imagine someone applies who identifies as female. KT looks at their social media and things, "Nope, this person is clearly a guy" and denies the purchase. That's a strong case, in this day and age, for discriminated. Oddly, gender seems to be an issue not...

I find it even more sad than fun that a young brand, rather than working hard on producing serious watches and being competitive in today's market, chose the much easier route to traffic in political correctness...and even failed at that. Time will tell, ...
Instead of dedicating the manpower to perusing people’s IG and Twitter accounts, why not dedicate it to designing a new case/watch. The current case and dial design is getting old/dated.
But if the wrong narrative starts on the forums or even in media it could be suicide for the company. At the end of the day, as it stands, it is actually discrimination: They are discriminating based on gender. Imagine they said, "We are only selling to m...
supplier to men”, “Our titanium model is tough on women because it’s only available for men”, “At least there’s one thing a man can rely on”, “Almost as complicated as a women. except it’s on time”. I find these amusing, but in today’s world not PC. ...
Your examples are extremely accurate about a time when the PC culture wasn’t there yet. But in the era of major concerns of privacy (and invasion of privacy), for a company to blatantly ask for your social media accounts/handles and state that they will a...
have been as transparent and said this colour is for the ladies, and picked the customers who he wants to sell to ie. women customers; and not tell anyone. The discrimination with watches was only going to be sex discrimination as watches are only aimed f...
Put down the glass of Kool-Aid. There is, literally, nothing special or rare about this watch, or any watch, they have ever made. They only thing that Kurono Tokyo actually makes is hype.
Merely their response to justified criticism. I happen to like the color and the design, but I have no experience with them in the metal. I can't speak to the quality. And I don't need to be lectured on hype. My collection is about as hypeless as it gets ...
Were directed towards the idea that the watch should only be available to women (and all the problems with implementing such a scheme). While plenty have complained about their low production numbers, it wasn't really the primary issue with this particula...
…and so do I on your provocative (polemic?) statement. Case and dial are IMHO simply beautifully made AND at quality that justifies the list price point. I also beg to differ with the assertion that KT’s success is based on a hype only. People have differ...
For hundreds to low thousands of dollars, there's a world of cool Longines, Mido, Tissot, Sinn, Seiko, and even Omega and Breitling products from the last 30 years all waiting to be bought and enjoyed. No, these watches won't impress total strangers on in...
Remember, this range is the sub range of the brand, a bit like Tudor to Rolex. The brand and some other micro brands have risen to stardom partly because of their limited pieces and the difficulty in buying them. If we are talking about introduction of co...
It all started with the Hodinkee and Ming limited editions; flash-fast offerings of limited runs that people have to clamber over each other for, and pay whatever the retailer asks for, without having the opportunity to handle the product or view in perso...
to sell to serious buyers and not to those who will flip them for a profit. For people to buy without seeing or touching the watch is something unique, unless it’s a well known brand. This maybe from a price point of view, lowers the cost to the customer....
