How to order a watch case made of Kurokaki wood
From a customer to whom we delivered a maple watch case a few years ago
Email us.
Thank you very much.
I'm considering a watch case made of kurokaki wood.
I was going to sign up for the rare material newsletter and wait patiently.
Is there any other way other than waiting for the next arrival timing?"
I see the "soldout" page,
I contacted you because you mentioned to contact us."
He said.
Thank you very much.
Not limited to kurokaki wood,
For watch cases made of rare materials
You have signed up for the Rare Materials newsletter.
If you are patient, we will be happy to help you.
There is a possibility that one day you may encounter a watch case of your choice.
However,Patient.It is difficult to get a sense of
It's 3 months, 1 year, maybe 5 years, maybe even 10 years. ......
Yes, that's what I mean.
In fact, it is something that even we, as producers, do not understand.
Watch case that can be guided by rare material communication
For example, in the case of kurokaki wood,
From a customer's black persimmon planks stored at Soulbird.
Suppose you have ordered a watch case in a size for 10 watches with a specified top panel.
So, when the actual production is carried out,
Two cases for 10 pieces may be made from one piece of kurokaki wood.
Well, conveniently in the size we want.
There is no way to find kurokaki wood.
It is only natural.
In such a case, the watch case that can be guided by "Rare Materials Communication" is
It means that one case was made.
Wait patiently or order from the board material.
The cases that can be presented in the "Rare Materials Newsletters" are
The watch case itself is already completed,
All of the "top, side, and bottom plates"
You can check if it fits your taste and purchase it.
I think it will give you a sense of security.
However, you will not be able to meet your desired watch case
5 years, maybe 10 years...
Or maybe more.
The risk arises that the possibility is undecided.
On the other hand, if you order from "board material
Only the "top panel" can be specified.
The side and bottom panels will be left to Soulbird's sense of style.
therefore
The top, side, and bottom plates are all to your liking.
There is a risk that we will not know until it is completed.
However, it is a surefire way to obtain it.
Whichever method fits your needs.
I think it depends on each customer's way of thinking.

We have a big problem.
