Visited the GW in May.<\/p>\n

From the selection of the watch case to the delivery of the watch,<\/p>\n

It took us about three months to complete the project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First visit<\/h2>\n

GW in May.<\/p>\n

Thank you for visiting our store.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will immediately see the watch case in the showcase.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, we are a \"watch case shop,<\/p>\n

Various types of wood and<\/p>\n

A clock case made of the wood is on display.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will never see a clock case made of so many species of wood.<\/p>\n

For almost all customers, it was their first experience! I guess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So,<\/p>\n

Ladies and gentlemen, from this point on.<\/p>\n

They ask many questions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

General,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

'It's the same tree.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u3000In this tree and that tree.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u3000Why are the patterns so different?\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why is this tree so heavy?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u3000How can that tree be so light?\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This wood is cheap, but...<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u3000Why are those trees so expensive?\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For many of our customers, this is what they are looking for.<\/p>\n

This is a point of concern.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indeed, it's hard to tell!<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don't know what you're talking about.<\/p>\n

Keep it as simple as possible.<\/p>\n

Let me explain it to you in an easy-to-understand way.<\/p>\n

What we do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have a customer who came to our store this time.<\/p>\n

About various woods and their prices<\/p>\n

Thank you for your interest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I'm curious about Kurokaki...<\/h2>\n

The customer was quite interested in wood.<\/p>\n

As we guide you through the various woods<\/p>\n

What finally caught my attention was<\/p>\n

It was \"Kurokaki\".<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indeed, an overwhelming presence!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

however<\/p>\n

Hawaiian Koa\" and \"Hawaiian Koa\",<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rarest and most expensive wood<\/strong>It is.<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selecting a top panel with a customer.<\/h2>\n

I took the time to compare various woods,<\/p>\n

As expected, kurokaki was the first choice.<\/p>\n

Immediately, he begins selecting the kurokaki (black persimmon) that will be used as the material for the top panel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Black persimmon wood with various \"moku\" patterns.<\/p>\n

Pull it out from under the showcase.<\/p>\n

We will compare them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From a tree like this.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
How could it be done so beautifully?!\"<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Almost all of our customers ask us questions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That's right.<\/p>\n

Imagining the finished case from the material is<\/p>\n

It is very difficult indeed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Combination with side panels,<\/h1>\n

Combination with bottom plate,<\/h1>\n

Shades of black and white,<\/h1>\n

The appearance of the wooden grain after painting.<\/h1>\n

Atmosphere after painting.<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Order a watch case from a single piece of wood.<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the first time in my life that I have ever done this.<\/p>\n

It is both fun and a challenge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the midst of all this,<\/p>\n

Imagine all kinds of patterns.<\/p>\n

The top panel chosen is.<\/p>\n

This way. \u2193\u2193.<\/p>\n

\"\u9ed2\u67ff\u677f\u6750\u300020180821\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wood grain is very fine, and the top board is very nice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the wood grain is too fine.<\/p>\n

Once painted,<\/p>\n

This material may be difficult to see shades of black and white.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, if fineness can be expressed<\/p>\n

The atmosphere is that of a very high grade watch case finish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To our customers<\/p>\n

\"Perhaps the shading could be obscured.\"<\/p>\n

and tell them,<\/p>\n

With their approval, we will begin production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For our customers, too.<\/p>\n

The Challenge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It will take about 3 months.<\/p>\n

We will do our best to finish the watch case to meet your expectations.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your order!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three months later.<\/h1>\n

\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193\u2193<\/h1>\n

The product is completed and delivered!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In mid-August, a customer comes in for a pickup.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the rain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is the completed case.<\/p>\n

\"\u9ed2\u67ff\u67504\u672c\u7528\u6642\u8a08\u30b1\u30fc\u30b920180822\"<\/p>\n

The black-and-white shading, which we were worried about, was also successfully expressed!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The board of kurokaki that I chose...<\/h1>\n

This is how it happened.\"<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it something like that?<\/p>\n

We immediately looked at the completed case and<\/p>\n

They were satisfied.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are happy too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since we're here.<\/p>\n

Storing clocks that had been made on the same day.<\/p>\n

Here is a commemorative photo!<\/p>\n

\"\u9ed2\u67ff\u6750\u6642\u8a08\u30b1\u30fc\u30b9\u8155\u6642\u8a08\u3068\u4e00\u7dd2\u306b\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This watch case was made for 4 watches.<\/p>\n

Three months have passed since the order was placed in May.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During that period, he was lucky enough to purchase one additional \"Rolex,\" which is not readily available.<\/p>\n

This filled all four storage spaces, he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had a customer who was very interested in wood.<\/p>\n

Thank you for coming to our store,<\/p>\n

We had a great time as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the fifth watch is added<\/p>\n

Thank you again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now it's \"Hawaiian Koa\"?<\/p>\n

Thank you for your order.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
