Urushi Lacquered Dial
Dream Watch Urushi — Authentic Japanese Lacquer Craftsmanship, Wearable, Urushi Watches of Japan
The Dream Watch Urushi collection by Wancher Watch brings genuine Japanese Urushi lacquer artistry to the wrist. Each dial is hand-lacquered by regional master artisans using techniques refined over centuries — not printed, not simulated, but built layer by layer in the traditional Urushi process.
Every piece in this collection is sourced from Japan's most storied lacquerware regions:
- Wajima Urushi (Ishikawa) — renowned for its multi-layer lacquering technique and exceptional durability
- Echizen Urushi (Fukui) — one of Japan's oldest lacquer traditions, dating back over 1,500 years
- Aizu Urushi (Fukushima) — historically favored by samurai households for its rich depth of color
- Iwate Urushi (Joboji) — Japan's largest domestic Urushi sap-producing region, prized for purity
- Kyushu Urushi — known for bold, contemporary lacquer expression within traditional methods
The collection also features original dial work by Master Yoko Hirota, whose Maki-e and Urushi artistry reflects decades of hands-on craftsmanship and mastery of regional techniques.
Each Dream Watch Urushi dial is a one-of-a-kind piece — natural material variation means no two watches are ever exactly alike. This is horology as functional art: real lacquer, real regional heritage, real craftsmen — wearable Japanese tradition, not mass production.
