Established in 2019 by renowned Japanese watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, Kurono Tokyo was created to offer serially produced timepieces that reflect his celebrated design language at a more accessible price point. Known for crafting bespoke watches, Asaoka launched the brand to meet growing demand from collectors seeking his aesthetic without the exclusivity or cost of his custom work. 

The Kurono Special Projects Réserve de Marche “SENSU NOS” is a limited 38mm power-reserve watch featuring Hajime Asaoka’s art-deco–inspired guilloché dial, offered in blue (Kanji numerals) and cream (Arabic numerals). Its design centers on a fan-shaped “sensu” guilloché motif, complemented by Clous de Paris textures, circular graining, and polished studs. The model debuts Kurono’s first in-house-modified movement, the Cal.9134PWT—derived from Citizen’s discontinued NOS Cal.9134 and updated by removing the date for a cleaner dial. As the supply of NOS movements is finite, only a very small number of SENSU NOS pieces were be produced. This blue dial variant comes as a complete set from new with only minimal signs of use.
