INTRODUCING

TAMAMUSHI-WING Maki-e Dial

Crafted in Wajima, Japan, the Urushi Masters at Taya Shikkiten responsibly sourced Japanese jewel beetles to create a simple yet elegant urushi maki-e watch, showcasing the beetle's natural beauty.

Introducing

Midori Tamenuri Urushi

This simple, no-date urushi dial showcases a natural “liquid-pool” gradient effect, achieved through handcrafted urushi lacquering. The unique urushi coating creates a beautiful, water-like gradient on the dial.

Introducing

Aka Tamenuri Urushi

A deep, elegant red graces the new Akatamenuri urushi dial—renowned and cherished for its captivating blend of simplicity and complexity. Crafted with precision in Wajima, Japan, each dial reflects the refined artistry of Akatamenuri, achieved through delicate layers of urushi lacquer that create a mesmerizing depth and warmth.
