Founded in 2018 by watch industry veteran Naoya Hida, his eponymous brand has become an extension of his imagination and aesthetic vision for modern horology, with his timepieces blending vintage design elements from the 1930s to the 1960s with modern manufacturing techniques. Representing the epitome of Japanese minimalism, the Naoya Hida & Co NH TYPE2C-1 Lettercutter is an aesthetically simple timepiece that has a lot more than meets the eye. Exemplifying a harmonious blend of minimalism and sophistication, its clean lines, understated German silver dial, and sleek stainless steel case design create a sense of refined elegance that captures the essence of Japanese aesthetics. Reflecting the brand's commitment to delivering timepieces that embody the essence of Japanese design philosophy, the NH TYPE2C-1 stands as a testament to their dedication to creating watches that exude elegance through minimalism, resonating with those who appreciate the understated beauty of haute horology. Launched as a limited edition release of 10 pieces in collaboration with The Armoury, the TYPE2C-1 Lettercutter is named after skilled artisans who chisel intricate letterforms into stone, and so The Armoury created an entirely new font that was inspired by the Lettercutter’s work and the forms of Art Deco aesthetics. Hand engraved by the master engraver at Naoya Hida & Co., the Lettercutter’s dial features hand engraved navy blue Arabic numerals that pop against their silver backdrop.

Watch is in like new condition.

Boasting such an impressive level of detail and artisanal craftsmanship within the TYPE2C-1's understated design is no easy feat, and yet The Armoury and Naoya Hida & Co. have shown that it is indeed possible with their own font and the sophisticated use of color.
