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.
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.
