Kurono Tokyo is a Japanese independent watch brand founded in 2019 by master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka. Aiming to make his meticulous craftsmanship more accessible, Kurono offers limited-edition timepieces that blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with Swiss mechanical precision. Each watch features hand-finished details such as hand-bent hands, high-polish cases, and unique dial treatments like Urushi lacquer and guilloché patterns. Powered by reliable Japanese movements like the Miyota 90S5 and Seiko NE86A, Kurono timepieces are produced in collaboration with Precision Watch Tokyo Co. Ltd. The brand has garnered global acclaim, with nominations at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) and pieces auctioned at Phillips and Sotheby’s.
