【Characteristics of KOMA watch case】
Grain Matching
By carefully arranging and cutting each component in sequence, the wood grain flows seamlessly from one piece to the next. With meticulous attention to detail, our skilled craftsmen match the grain one by one—honoring the natural beauty of the wood and bringing out its finest expression through both refined aesthetics and expert technique.

Mitered Joinery
By joining the top, side, and front panel with precise 45° miters, the grain continues uninterrupted, creating a beautifully seamless finish. This technique also provides excellent structural strength and helps prevent misalignment at the joints over time.
It is a highly advanced method that requires exceptional skill and a great deal of time and effort.

Assembling
Assembling mitered joints is an intricate process that can only be achieved through skilled handwork.
For both the upper and lower sections, dozens of specialized clamping tools—such as shakoman and hatagane—are used to secure the wood in place. It is an extremely delicate step, where even the slightest difference in pressure on each clamp can affect the final alignment.

Spline Reinforcement
To reinforce the corners formed with mitered joinery, a 0.5 mm wooden spline is carefully inserted into the joint.
This not only increases overall strength, but also creates a distinctive and beautiful detail—an expression unique to fine craftsmanship.

Finishing / Oil Treatment
Each piece is carefully refined with hand planes and sandpaper to enhance the grain and bring out the full natural beauty of the wood.
Before applying the oil finish, we seal the surface pores as a base preparation. This helps prevent water rings and staining, while achieving an exceptionally smooth, silky feel to the touch.
Please note: To preserve the wood’s natural beauty and texture, we do not use polyurethane coatings or colored stains.

Concealed Hinges
When the box is closed, the hinges are completely hidden from view at the back.
As the interior is fully finished, no hardware is visible from any angle—preserving the box’s clean, seamless design and the beauty of the wood grain.

Standard interior : Italian calfskin, ivory/black
Italian calfskin is characterized by its vibrant color and supple texture. Unlike the leather made from North American or Southeast Asian hides typically sold in Japan, Italian calfskin from Europe has dense fibers, is elastic, and feels very pleasant to the touch. It is finished with a full grain finish, without removing any of the grain from the hide, allowing you to enjoy the leather's natural, vibrant appearance.

Standard interior
Ultrasuede, ivory/dark grey
It has a unique texture reminiscent of high-quality suede and a soft, smooth feel. It is an easy-to-maintain artificial leather that is highly resistant to wear, stains, and water, making it suitable for use as a luxury interior material in European cars.

Made from domestically raised Japanese Black Wagyu beef, this leather combines the ancient Japanese techniques of tanning and lacquering to create a piece that shines like countless tiny diamonds scattered all over. This is why it's been nicknamed the "black diamond of leather." Each piece is handmade by a craftsman, and it's resistant to friction, making it a top-quality product in Japan that is also practical, having been used in martial arts equipment during the Warring States period, and even in the armor of generals.
