Naoya Hida & Co.

Ref. Type 1C

NH Type 1C

Naoya Hida & Co. ,罕有及精美, 精鋼腕錶,備小秒針、手工雕刻寶璣字時標。附證書、錶盒

Naoya Hida is a fairly fresh face in the world of independent watchmaking. The Japanese watchmaker launched in 2018, attracting immediate international collector attention for the detail-oriented vintage-inspired design language and handcraftsmanship of his watches.

Although production is highly limited – less than 100 watches are produced each year – the brand has continued to experiment and iterate on its core design language each year, offering a small-batch of new references annually.

The present watch is the NH Type 1C, which was introduced in 2020. Fifteen examples were produced that first year, followed by another 15 in 2021; production of the reference was then discontinued.

The dial of the NH Type 1C is made of German silver with a micro-bead blasted satin finish and hand-carved Breguet numerals that are coated in a cashew lacquer coating. The brand wordmark underneath 12 o’clock is engraved using an ultra-high-precision micro-fabrication machine. The stainless-steel twin leaf hands for hour and minutes are hand-polished and heat-treated to reach a beautiful shade of blue.

No expenses were spared in creating the NH Type 1C, which is why so many serious collectors have gravitated toward the brand since its launch. The present example was sold in 2022 and comes as a full set.
