This watch is beautiful! I'm starting to like smaller watches, but on my 7.5" wrist I'd still like a 36mm. I don't know if I like the gold or steel case variant more. I do think this beats any Seiko Presage, it even costs less.

@thehandsontime

Жыл бұрын

Hello, the way it is made it would look wonderful on a 7.5 because of the overall ratio with the lugs of the watch, now watch my channel, i present an incredible Seiko presage with a lot of history and the highest quality (6R15 movement not the presage with the 4R they do nowadays) well I have to tell you, this KUOE has nothing to envy in comparison to a presage !!!!!! The movement and the whole creation is hand on hand with my presage but i repeat with my presage, not the presage they do nowadays because that Kuoe just beats them all easy.. My honest opinion, cheers !

This is a beautiful watch. My only other preferences would be if it was in pure gold or gold cap, and I the zero on the ten numeral is throwing me off. I don’t know if it’s how the font should be, but as a artist myself I think that it’s thickness is off. I would still get this watch non the less, awesome design and execution and a awesome review!

I am so interested in this model due to the cushion shape. Thank you for the great review. i can feel the passion in your voice : ) Could you please let me know how is the build quality of this watch? is the rotor heavy? did you ever kurono watches before? how do you compare this with kurono? I have kurono and thats why i want to know.

@thehandsontime

9 ай бұрын

The build quality is absolutely wonderful, and no i never had a Kurono sadly...

I hope there will be more traditional sized (ie, small sub-40mm) watches from other makers to follow Kuoe's example. I'm very happy with the gold Royal Smith but I ordered a different Kuoe leather strap. The two included (black and light tan) look too rugged and "cowboy" style leather for so elegant a watch. A more subtle dark brown leather seems more appropriate.

Really liking this watch, actually just not a super big fan of the signature on clasp and crown. I think a capital K in the font the numbers are in would have been perfect for the crown and they should have put Kyoto on the clasp aswell on the other corner. But other than that, I’m plotting on getting one for my next watch
