Product Categories

Our primary focus is on handcrafted timepieces, which fall under the Japanese Crafts and high-end Stationery categories:

•Hanomocco Wristwatches: Featuring dials painted with traditional Japanese mineral pigments (Iwa-enogu).

•Curutchuan Wristwatches: Simple, classic designs.

•Clocks: Wall clocks and table clocks.

Craftsmanship / Features

The signature feature of our Hanomocco line is the use of Iwa-enogu (mineral pigments) and Kanazawa gold leaf on a Washi (Japanese paper) base for the watch dials. This process, which involves meticulously applying the pigments by hand, creates a unique, textured, and translucent color effect that cannot be replicated by machine printing. All assembly is performed in our Kanazawa studio, ensuring the highest level of japanese craftsmanship and quality, backed by reliable Seiko Epson quartz movements.
