KURONO - Chronograph 2
KURONO are the Japan-made watches designed by independent Japanese watchmaker Hajime Asaoka and have recently produced beautiful timepieces that share many design details of Hajime's exclusive handmade atelier watches. I have been fortunate to see one of ...
in order to keep it all-Japanese.
It’s nice to know that Miyota does column wheel chronographs
😍😍😍
Excerpt from Kurono Tokyo website: For the Chronograph 2, Hajime chose the mechanical chronograph caliber NE86A from one of Japan's most esteemed movement manufacturers - positioned by them as its newest flagship chronograph movement and successor to the ...
NE86A is a seiko movement, not Miyota, as per my cursory Google search.
One website has it running at -15 to +25 seconds per day at 23 degrees Celsius.

From a watchmaker and designer that wants us to be able to enjoy his watches.
That must be the Chrono 1
This won't go on sale until the end of this month with deliveries starting in March.
That's a heckuva nice watch.

True
with a high contrast dial it could work. But then again, I'm not sure it really matters as we just don't use wrist worn chronos for precise measurements anymore.
