Minase Windows by Hakose
Minase aims at celebrating traditional crafts and techniques from Japan and partners with famous urushi master Junichi Hakose for this edition. A serie of 4 Urushi makie dials were developed around the theme of Japanese nature. Hakose’s urushi makie dials are fitted in the Seven Windows model. Each timepiece comes with its own Certificate of Authenticity and packed in a hand-made wooden box, wrapped in Minase furoshiki.
Minase Gold Watches
For its gold cases, Minase uses 18-carat gold, containing 75 per cent of pure metal. Since pure gold would be too soft for a watch case, it is blended with a mix of copper and silver. Rose gold watches contain more copper in order to get the desired color.
Minase gold watches, as all the Masterpieces and Limited Editions, are offered in a handcrafted wooden box made in marquetry. The box is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshuki.
High-end Swiss Movement
Based on ETA 2892 ébauches, this high-end execution displays hand-finished surfaces with perlage, blue screws, bridges with diamond polished bevels and a main plate and bridges in black or. The brand's drill head logo is displayed on the rotor. It is assembled with MPS lubrication-free bearings and with its ETACHRON regular system, this is a very high precision, TOP range execution. 21 Jewels. Frequency 28’800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz), 50 hours power reserve.
MORE & Case in Case
“Minase Original Rebuilding Equation” patented structure allows Minase watchmakers to assemble and disassemble exterior parts of the watch, such as the case and bracelet, as many times as they need to refit or repair the watch. The case in case construction is unique to Minase watches and was inspired by Japanese 3D puzzles. The mechanical movement is enclosed between a plate and a top container (which acts as the dial) on which the index ring is fitted. This whole inner box looks like a floating structure screwed at the four corners inside each case.Wooden box
