Founded in 2018 as a means for legendary Japanese watchmaker Hajime Asaoka to create serial production pieces, Kurono Tokyo stands as one of the most exciting microbrands in today's watchmaking industry. With Hajime's reputation as an exceptional watchmaker secured from decades of recognition for designing one-off timepieces in close collaboration with his clients, it was never in doubt that his serial production brand would take off. Launched in 2022 as an expansion of the complications that Kurono Tokyo offers, the Calendrier introduced a triple calendar complication to the brand’s repertoire. Boasting a khaki green dial with twin subdials for the month and day along with a date aperture at 6 o’clock, the Type 1’s dial is intensely legible and elegant. Surrounded by a coin-edge texture bezel, the Type 1’s 38mm stainless steel case reflects the same sense of elegance that Type 1's “Kurono hands” have come to represent over the last 6 years. Powered by a Miyota cal. 9122 movement, the Type 1 features a central running seconds hand – a rare inclusion in a triple calendar, making this watch even more special than it already is.

A significant step up in terms of complexity, the Calendrier reflects Kurono Tokyo's march up the horological pecking order and the impressive popularity that their watches have rightfully garnered on the back of their quality craftsmanship and stunning designs.
