The Urushi is supposed to change colour some I believe with exposure to light.

And for all of these dials, yours included, the underlying patterns (which are on the “raw” dial prior to the application of the lacquer) do seem to be all different. Which is cool.

Kurono Tokyo
By: Jay (Eire) : March 17th, 2023-02:02
Took a walk over to Aoyama to visit Hajime Asaoka’s Kurono Tokyo boutique yesterday evening. The boutique opened last year I think, and in addition to having a display of several of the past collections they also have a limited run collection of 3 watches...
yes, I had an eye on that one

it deserves a more colourful strap though Congrats to those who secured it. I hesitated whilst the silvery white option was still available - nice pieces all around Thanks for the atmospheric photo report
Beautiful pieces.

Thanks for posting the pictures here! Cheers, Filip
They were pretty appealing.

To me, these boutique editions are likely my favourite so far. The caveat being, this was also the very first time to see any in the metal. But I like the simple dial without markers or numerals.
Very nice.

A little off my usual beaten track in that area, but good to explore some streets less traveled (for me).
Very interesting what you highlight in your initial post…

because I thought the new smaller ones were exactly the same as previous (at first glance), but I see differences now. Plus I didn’t know that the dial color changes over time with UV exposure. My dial is still the same as when arrived since I don’t wear ...
Nice coverage!

Did you buy a watch?! The Aoyama box set in 88 pieces was great value and I feel the absence of the numerals pays more emphasis to the lovely urushi dials.
We all don't need another watch!

But the word 'need' has never been a priority when buying a watch. I think 'love' prevails or at least it does for me. No love, no purchase!
So the box set

and Individual Aoyama watches remain available for sale? I would have thought that with only 188 pieces each, they would have been snapped up by now.
Yes. All available.

But these can only be purchased in person. Obviously the demand, or dare I say FOMO/hype, doesn’t exist to the same extent domestically. This I understand and so I can’t say I’m surprised. I asked the SA about foot traffic / visitors generally and she est...
Very nice report

I meant to go, but it wasn't where I was expecting it to be in Aoyama. Did you dine at INTERSECT by Lexus in Aoyama yet?
I didn’t.

I was only in the neighborhood one day (and one other evening with specific dinner plans). I was going to check it out for lunch that day but then got distracted by the below bento and had to commit the cardinal sin of eating on the street! Oops ! The ben...
Lots of pickled veggies!

Good to know! Bon appetite! Hope you get a chance to try Sant Pau for lunch!
Super interesting

Thank you. I’m adding it to my Tokyo list. I love especially the first dark brown dial. Amazing color. Can’t wait to hear if you are going to get a piece. Sounds like a fantastic pick up.
