  • Catalogue Essay

    The Kurono Chronograph 2 is a limited edition of 500 pieces that showcases Asaoka's preoccupation with light, texture, and detail. At the heart of the design is the unconventional placement of the copper tachymeter scale, which is set closer to the dial center and intersects the subsidiary dials. This creative complication serves to catch the light, casting a warm glow over the dial.

    Asaoka has also fashioned the chronograph minute hand at 9 o'clock into an arrow shape, inspired by the traditional Japanese martial art of kyudo archery. This symbolic flourish is typical of Asaoka's poetic nature and pursuit of beauty in the smallest details. For the discerning collector, the Kurono Chronograph 2 offers an opportunity to acquire a finely crafted chronograph that not only satisfies the intellect but also stirs the emotions of Japanese culture.
