Stunning.

Are the minute and hour hands not usually white or black?

These seem to have a reddish tone - which I love

[–] deepsavageblue@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I really love these watches but the price is out of reach for me.

[–] tsotne0903@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It looks amazing!

[–] Archtects@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sorry this watch looks dreadful on you, you will look like an absolute clown, You’ll have to send it to me, I’ll live with the embarrassment

[–] Awkward-Sale4235@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I really want a Kurono, but the ordering process seems complicated for my small brain. Is there any way to order international, or is the only way to order for pickup at the boutique in Japan?

[–] izunaooo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Its the same process as pre-ordering an item from most sites, purchase during the drop time and it will be delivered to your registered address, duty fees apply

[–] myfinger_points@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the info! Now I just gotta remember to order in the drop dates….very jealous of yours! Hope you continue to enjoy it until the end of time.

Such a cool watch, how can you order these in the US?

[–] PleasantNightLongDay@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Like any other watch really. Except these are limited drop time frames. So you’d log in, add to cart and pay for it. Usually it’ll be a down payment (half) and the second half whenever the watch is ready.

What's the price range on this guy? I'm drooling pretty heavy and want to know how much of my paycheck I'll need to put into the "Misc" category that month.

[–] PleasantNightLongDay@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have the white version of this and it was just under $4k. They’re long sold out but I don’t think these appraises much. So it should he around $4k.

[–] nater255@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fantastic, thanks!

[–] FuntivityColton@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can you share a photo of the white version?

[–] Rossage99@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The Kurono Chronographs on Chrono24 are selling between 3.5-6k USD

[–] nater255@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Roger that, thanks!

[–] Educational-Title761@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

https://kuronotokyo.com/pages/anniversary-calendrier-type-i-azuki They sellout quickly and the price really goes up in the secondary market

[–] rakeshlink@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

One of the most beautiful dials I've seen!

[–] SirGuy11@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Looks nice. I’ll raise you another Japanese watch with phenomenal dial depth:

(Casio Oceanus OCW-T4000.)

Dials like yours and this one often don’t get shown off in normal promotional photos. It can be a pleasant surprise! 👍

That strap is gorgeous

[–] vichyswazz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wow a legible chronograph!

[–] standing-ovulation@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I just realized Kurono = Chrono

[–] TimeTelling@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

OP, can you post a photo with the watch on your wrist side-view? Kurono’s chronographs often look too thick on most wrists (although beautiful dia.)

[–] connurp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Holy cow, every time I see one of this brand's watches it blows me away. Such a beautiful piece. That strap is gorgeous too! What size is this?

[–] the_ammar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

looks amazing.

[–] sunmntn_9528@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Love this watch! Nice pickup.
