New interpretation of guilloche

"This time, I decided to take on the challenge of creating a so-called guilloche dial. I say “ challenge” because it actually took three and a half years of research and development for this dial, and it was indeed a challenge. A normal guilloche dial is engraved on a flat surface, but in this watch, the guilloche is engraved on a convex dial following the tradition of KURONO TOKYO. As you can see, the pyramid pattern in the center of the dial gradually tilts toward the outside, and creating the mold for this was very difficult. The blank of this watch's dial is made much thicker than usual and is molded as a single piece, including the deep recesses for the power reserve and 24-hour display. Achieving sharpness in these areas posed a significant technical challenge. As a result, I believe we have created a dial with strong contrasts and an elegant appearance." -Hajime Asaoka

In-house Modified Movement

Kurono in 2022 purchased the entire balance stock of the discontinued Premium Automatic Cal.9134 from Citizen. It is redesignated Cal.9134PWT to reflect our in-house timekeeping modifications, and in the removal of the caliber’s date.
