Nagoya (city)
We received visitors from
Thank you for the long drive.
The following is a guide to the customer we delivered to in August, from visit to delivery.
Choose from a range of board materials.
They came from Nagoya.
Thank you so much.
We hope you have a good look at the Soulbird website.
Initially, they were considering Honduran mahogany.
However, this is the first time for us to actually see the material wood,
The participants compared various types of actual lumber.
What is Rare?
There are two patterns of wood scarcity.
A. Because of the restrictions on imports and exports imposed by the Washington Convention, the amount of lumber in circulation is small.
To prevent illegal logging and unauthorized exports
We detail the place of origin and other details.
In 2017, the Rosewood system was listed on the list of references,
The musical instrument industry is in great turmoil.
B. Really little material
Endangered wood for quite some time.
We have just had such a conversation,
Finally.
The point has been narrowed down to "Kurokaki".
selecting a top panel (e.g. in a restaurant)
Since the point has been narrowed down to "Kurokaki
The top panel is selected immediately.
Soulbird stocks the wood for the top panel in Ikebukuro.
You can choose from among them.
(However, please be sure to check the stock before coming to the store)
In fact, it would be smoother if one piece of wood could be used to make an entire case,
In the case of kurokaki wood, there is "almost" no wood of that size.
I mean, it's not that there aren't any.
It is the kind of money you could buy a 911 for.
This is a near-impossible story in practical terms.
In such a situation, we were asked to compare the lumber we have in stock.
The top panel is decided.
It is a pretty good grade top panel.
Thank you for coming all the way from Nagoya.
We need to finish the watch case to make you happy.
Next to the decision on the top panel
Select side and bottom plates.
In fact, this process is very difficult.
The side panels match the atmosphere of the top panel.
The side panels match the color of the top panel.
How the wooden grain appears when the painting is finished: 。。。。
It's all natural materials.
This combination is risky and
It is a considerable amount of work until the watch case is completed.

The finished watch case is
High grade as planned.
It turned out perfect.
How about the balance of the top and side panels?
It's as if they were all finished with the same material.
I think it is a good atmosphere.
Only one of its kind in the world
The haute couture watch case is now complete.
If you have money, you can buy almost anything in the world.
I'll get it, though,
Order your watch case from Haute Couture!"
Money alone is not sufficient for this.
Anyway, it is a "rare" black persimmon.
The encounter with a "rare" kurokaki, a type of wood that can be used for the top panel, was a great opportunity for us.
Timing, luck.
It is the result of many things coming together by chance.
Order your watch case from Haute Couture."
We have an extremely "rare"
To have the support of our customers.
It is a joy to be a part of.
I am grateful.
We hope that this watch case will be a long-lasting companion for our customers.

He came all the way from Nagoya to visit us,
Thank you very much.
