Mr. I came from Chiba prefecture.
He is looking for a watch case that can hold one dress watch on a flat surface.
Especially in the case of antique watches, it is extremely difficult to find a watch case that is appropriate for the watch being stored.
Now let's see what we can offer you...



A case that will be used with a lot of gusto.

Thank you very much for visiting our store.

We immediately asked what you would like to do.
Yes.
The image is more like a case of prizing and enjoying,
I wanted to make a case that would be used with gusto.
The number of pieces to be extended and stored is one, with an oil finish instead of a shiny finish,
I thought it would be more fun to have a case where you can have a relationship with the customer to the point where you don't mind if it gets scratched,
That's the kind of thing I envision."
And that is a pretty specific request.

It is very helpful to have such a clear idea of what you want, so that we can narrow down the target of our guidance!

The oil finish is a great way to enjoy the ageing process as you use the product,
Any tree species is OK! This is not to say that any species of tree is acceptable.


A relatively affordable wood species is oak.
The wood has a beige hue, but even with an oil finish, it has a natural look.

Also often seen in Japan are
The "walnut"!
It is often used as a material in furniture stores.
A modern atmosphere not found in Japanese wood.
Dark shades are quite popular.
This "walnut" is relatively easy to purchase.
It is also easy to process and is a very useful species.


When completed as a watch case, it will look like this.

With drawers.

This "walnut" is
Grafted with North American and European varieties.
There is also a variety called "Chlora Walnut."
When it comes to this "Chlora Walnut".
The grain of the wood also shows a great deal of complexity,
Compared to regular "walnut," it will be a more expensive species.
This is the atmosphere.

The rest will be rosewood-based.
When it comes to this rosewood type
The "real thing! feeling of "the real thing!
With a specific gravity that will not float on water.
Piano black keys and
It is also used for the fingerboards and bridges of stringed instruments.
In other words, even under intense tension!
You can use it for hundreds of years!
It's a material that is very much like a "good" material.

But, like Mr. Inaba Shed.
It's not going to be okay with a hundred people in it! It is not possible to have 100 people in the car.

For example.
Ebony and ebony stripes,
Honduran Rose, Amazon Rose, etc,
These tree species are called "00-rose" depending on their origin.
Imports and exports are already regulated by the Washington Convention.
It is quite a spirited amount of money.
But, given the quality of the
It's still a "cosmetic tree species!" I think.


For example, the condition of the striped ebony wood material looks like this.

This is what it would look like with an oil finish.

It's hard to tell from the picture.
The beauty of the understated bark characteristic of rosewood can be appreciated.

And here's what it looks like with a mirror finish.

That famous watchmaker!
I'm sure many of you have wondered.
That is ◉◉, not solid wood.



Balance with your budget

Mr. I also,
It would be nice to have this rosewood class for generations to come."
You say.
That said, it is also important to consider your budget.


Buy a very expensive watch case.
And it makes me sad when life gets hard,
That said,
Even if you compromise quite a bit too much and buy something you're unwilling to pay for.
We don't want to feel good about it.
It is something that is much closer to us.

Balance is important in everything.


I. Mr. I's request was for an oil finish.
But with walnut, well, maybe it's a little bit normal. ......
However, if it's rose-based, it's . It's too real and ...... expensive and ......


and that you were worried about it.
The showcase includes
Three pieces completed with mirror finish are available at .....

黒柿材時計ケースとトチスポルテッド時計ケース

Two of them are black persimmon wood, which often appears in this blog.
The other is horse chestnut, but it's called spalted.
This is an individual with a mysterious grain.
This is also a rather rare watch case.


These three points are
This occurred when we produced a size case for five regular-sized bottles.
This is made from "Hazai" (scrap wood).


The piece was made using as much scrap wood as possible, so it is a piece of furniture.
All three items differ in "height," "depth," and "length.


hence
Regular production! Compared to,
Even though it's a black persimmon?
I'm not sure,
This watch case has a fairly "affordable" price tag.


Depending on the timing of your visit
It may or may not be...
When you meet an individual of this type, it is a "once in a lifetime" event.


Mr. I also has a different plan from the original one.
In particular, he seems to find kurokaki wood very attractive.



Combination with leather first

All three items have their own unique personalities.
I'm so annoyed! I feel like.
Mr. I was interested in the kurokaki among them.


So the order is reversed.
First, check the balance of the watch and leather combination.
Actually, Mr. I, I have heard a lot about you.
The customer has quite an appreciation for vintage Irish linens and leathers.
The watch is also a Credeur Gold Feather!

時計アンティークのクレドール

The origin, of course, is of the rearing type or pasture-raised type, and the coloring and fur are carefully compared.
First, we decided on K219 leather in Bordeaux.


Now compare that Bordeaux with two black persimmon wood watch cases,,
The decision was made for an individual that showed complexity in the side panels!
