Available in Green and Red, each dial takes 2.5 years to complete and is released in limited quantity, making this one of the most labor-intensive urushi maki-e watches available today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"Hand crafted urushi watch made in Wajima Japan\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/2231\/0195\/files\/DSC00831_1024x1024.jpg?v=1782981040\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhat Makes Wajima Urushi Dial Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMost urushi watches use the traditional Tsugaru Nuri method, where a marble-like texture is built through repeated lacquer layering and carving. The Dream Watch Kawari Nuri takes a different path: Wajima artisans hand-draw the marble pattern directly over a green urushi base layer, using their exclusive Maki-e technique rather than carving. This is a distinct regional craft signature — Wajima urushi versus Tsugaru urushi — and it's the reason this dial cannot be mass-produced or replicated by machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGold Maki-e Detailing: Gold Maki-e 3,6,9 Batton Hour markers \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe logo is hand-painted in real gold Maki-e lacquer, paired with hand-finished 3, 6, and 9-hour markers. Both sit atop a black urushi base layer, creating depth and contrast that changes character under different lighting — a hallmark of genuine hand-crafted urushi work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWajima, Japan — 400+ Years of Urushi Heritage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWajima is recognized as one of Japan's premier urushi lacquerware regions, with a craft lineage spanning centuries. Taya Shikkiten Lacquerhouse continues this tradition, applying techniques historically used on fine lacquerware to a wristwatch dial — a rare crossover between traditional Japanese craft and modern horology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e Why Only a Limited Quantity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEach Kawari Nuri dial takes 2.5 years from start to finish, as the multi-layer lacquering and hand-drawing process cannot be rushed without compromising the finish. Because of this, the Dream Watch Kawari Nuri is released in strictly limited numbers — once a batch sells out, the timeline to produce more is measured in years, not weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eKawari Nuri Green vs. Red\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen\u003c\/strong\u003e — the base tone the marble pattern is drawn over, giving a more traditional, deep jade-like urushi finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bolder colorway that intensifies the contrast between the black base layer and the hand-drawn marble texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wancher Watch","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ Green \/ Brown","offer_id":49836437471539,"sku":"WT-AT-DW-KG-1","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Green \/ Black","offer_id":49836437504307,"sku":"WT-AT-DW-KG-2","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Red \/ Brown","offer_id":49836538331443,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Red \/ Black","offer_id":49836538364211,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Green \/ Brown","offer_id":49836437537075,"sku":"WT-AT-DW-KG-3","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Green \/ Black","offer_id":49836437569843,"sku":"WT-AT-DW-KG-4","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Red \/ Brown","offer_id":49836538429747,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Red \/ Black","offer_id":49836538495283,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Ororu \/ Green \/ Brown","offer_id":49836437733683,"sku":"WT-AT-DW-KG-9","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Ororu \/ Green \/ Black","offer_id":49836437766451,"sku":"WT-AT-DW-KG-10","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Ororu \/ Red \/ Brown","offer_id":49836538691891,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Ororu \/ Red \/ Black","offer_id":49836538724659,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/2231\/0195\/files\/red_ororu_18501bd2-03e6-4d8f-b0cf-a8bfb61c6f57.jpg?v=1782972321","url":"https:\/\/wancherwatch.com\/products\/dream-watch-kawari-nuri-wajima-urushi-watch","provider":"Wancher Watch ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
