aritaism medalist - Porcelain and Vermilion Lacquer Wristwatch

aritaism medalist
Arita porcelain and Kiso lacquer, in a slim 30mm case. Quartz, made in Japan.

A smaller, lighter take on the Arita porcelain dial. The white dial is fired at Shin-gama, a kiln that has worked in Arita since 1830, and each one is made by hand, so no two are exactly alike. At twelve o'clock sits a single round mark in vermilion Kiso lacquer, like a small planet rising over the porcelain. The crown is set with Arita porcelain painted in an indigo bull's-eye motif.

At 30mm across and 7mm thick, the case sits close to the wrist and slips easily under a cuff. A Japanese quartz movement keeps it accurate with no winding needed.

Choose burgundy calf leather from SOMES Saddle, Japan's only equestrian saddlery maker, or classic black calf leather, both with a stainless steel push-button deployant clasp. A stainless steel mesh bracelet is also available for a lighter, dressier look.
