Yusuki Kikuchi and Tomonari Nakagawa are two extremely expert Japanese watchmakers. They pay unbelievable consideration to each element that goes into their time-only watches. They do not do every little thing in-house, however are clear about the place they supply parts from (e.g., Vaucher Fleurier for his or her actions, Comblémine for dials), and as an alternative focus their consideration on ending each part of the watch by hand.
With the Murakumo, the duo clearly takes inspiration from the Patek Calatrava ref. 96 with a large bezel and the classic touches of the dial and fingers. There’s hand ending for days, with the watchmakers black sprucing the fingers, case, and stable caseback by hand.
Past the watchmaking, Ed’s have a private that means: the names of his two daughters are engraved on the caseback, and he says he will give every to them on their 18th birthday.
