Established in the vibrant heart of Tokyo, the Kurono Tokyo watchmaking house has cultivated a reputation for producing timepieces that resonate with both traditional Japanese values and contemporary global aesthetics. The Kurono Tokyo GMT 1, a groundbreaking creation by renowned master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, represents a captivating convergence of timeless artistry and contemporary intelligence. A strong fusion of Art Deco aesthetics with a refined sense of sophistication, the watch caters to the tastes of business travelers seeking formality and subtle dynamism. Measuring 38mm in diameter, the watch's case has a high-polish finish, as well as a polished bi-directional rotating bezel that features lacquer-filled 24-hour markers. Powered by the calibre Miyota 9075, the watch is capable of up to 42 hours of power reserve and 50 meters of water resistance, as well as a GMT function - perfect for globetrotters that require tracking two timezones. Marking itself as a true GMT as well, the watch is functioned so that when tracking a different timezone, you can correct the hour hand independently, rather than correcting the 24-hour hand. Paired with a black calfskin leather strap, the watch finishes to make a well-built, durable, and trendy dress watch. Nominated as a finalist for the 2023 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve Awards under the 'Challenge' category, speaks plenty for the craftsmanship that was put into designing the watch. The Kurono Tokyo GMT 1 is a watch that is perfectly created for the business traveler, but also capable of transpiring a sporty undertone.
