The "solid zelkova watch case" we delivered in 2009
Returned with interior specification changes.
It is a great "moku" (wooden) zelkova.
Ordered by phone and shipped delivery in 2009
From the customer,
A client called us to come to the store for a meeting about "interior reupholstering (change of specifications).
We asked for the customer's name and checked the data at the time of purchase.
It seems that we received a phone call in 2009 and delivered the product.
At that time, they were looking for a case with "thinner thickness".
The "zelkova" watch case was just close to the desired thickness and was ordered.
Even in 2009, "zelkova" watch cases are expensive.
We are very sorry that you placed your order only by phone.
The delivery was shipped to an address in Osaka.
Therefore, I had never met the customer.
This time, we made a reservation for you to come to our store.
Thank you so much for the long drive.
In 2018, we received a "Zelkova Clock Case" from Osaka, Japan!
In June, we received a watch case all the way from Osaka.
With the rainy season just beginning and the weather getting hotter in Tokyo
I really appreciate it.
Let me take a look at the case right away.
It is a "terrific" watch case!
Zelkova wood watch case for 10 watches
Nyorinmoku (如鱗杢). (Jorinmoku nyorinmoku)
It is a ridiculously "awesome" product.
It was purchased for about 280,000 yen at the time,
Now, if we produce the same
I'm thinking $600,000~700,000. Twice the purchase price! Maybe even that is not possible.
Or rather, it is more likely that the material itself will not be available.
A "precious commodity" that money can't buy! The "valuables" that money can't buy!
There is some warping,
The watch case itself is in good condition of storage and has no major damage.
The item did not need to be repaired after 9 years.
Customers use it every day,
They didn't seem that bothered by it.
I explained again, "This is a valuable item.
It will likely remain in use for hundreds of years,
We asked them to tell us how it happened if they are going to pass it on to their children.
This is how we changed the interior specifications and reupholstered the leather,
We had a meeting to discuss polishing the paint on the case.
Thank you for being so far away.
Once the interior has been reupholstered and polished.
We will let you know again.
The delivery is successfully completed!
The customer also called to thank us.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Shhhh, but the photo of you after the interior change has gone missing!
I am sorry I could not introduce you to them.
We will let you know if there are any more cases of interior changes.
Thank you very much.
