Kurono Tokyo Complications Series

Collection profile · 2021

Why it matters

It marks the point where Kurono expands beyond time-only formats while keeping the visual restraint and accessibility that made the brand distinctive, giving collectors a more functional but still highly legible design language.

More from Kurono Tokyo

  • Classic Series — Kurono Tokyo’s Classic Series is the brand’s accessible, art-deco-leaning core line: compact, high-polish, time-first watches that translate Hajime Asaoka’s design language into more attainable daily wear while preserving the brand’s refined dial balance and strong typographic identity.
  • Grand Series — Kurono Tokyo’s Grand Series is the brand’s artisan-led flagship family, centered on urushi dials, complex finishing, and higher craft density while still aiming to remain attainable relative to traditional haute horlogerie and to showcase Hajime Asaoka’s most ambitious design and material work within Kurono.
  • Special Projects — Kurono Tokyo’s Special Projects is the brand’s experimental lane for limited-run, more expressive interpretations of Hajime Asaoka’s Art Deco design language, often using unusual dial materials, custom typography, and one-off thematic ideas that sit apart from the core range.
