Kurono Tokyo by Hajime Asaoka

Calendrier ‘Type I’ – Khaki Green

Reference: CL001L | Limited Edition | Triple Calendar

The Design: The Gentleman Adventurer

Designed by independent master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, the Calendrier ‘Type I’ introduces a “regimental” atmosphere to the Kurono lineup. It is a watch designed to be worn and aged—embracing the character of a life well-lived while maintaining the brand’s signature Japanese refined artistry.

  • Cylinder Dial: A complex two-layer construction that curves elegantly toward the periphery for a vintage three-dimensional profile.

  • Hand-Bent Artistry: The tips of the ultra-thin second and minute hands are bent by hand to follow the precise contour of the domed dial.

  • Vintage Typography: Bold, blacklettered typeface and raised printing provide a tactile, military-inspired look accented by a classic railway-track minute marker.

Collector’s Note

The Calendrier ‘Type I’ is a sold-out limited edition and represents Hajime Asaoka’s first foray into a “complete calendar” for the Kurono brand. Its unique khaki colorway and coin-edge bezel make it one of the most distinctive and wearable pieces in the collection. This is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Japanese independent watchmaking history.
