Hajime Asaoka Chronograph 1. BNIB For those who know!

This was a limited edition watch of 68 pieces in 2 different dial colours.. Both editions sold out in less than 3 minutes. Hajime Asaoka is one of the most important watchmakers in the independent watch group. He is one of the youngest and has created many watches that sell for well over the $100K usd mark. His vision is that everyone can afford one of his watches…. Known for his elaborate dials, he has created the dial and case in high polish Stainless Steel and used a column wheel chronograph Japanese high quality movement. Put these watches for sale and Boom they were gone.. This is an unused watch…. 68 in the whole run, The last series was a plain 3 hander and are selling on the secondary market for the mid 5K usd range.

I will offer this very small production run watch for $8500 plus insured shipping….

There will not be too many watches available from the master himself in years to come…

The watch is a 38mm case, 14mm high including the sapphire crystal…. Just by looking at the watch in person, You can understand why people love his work! This is a legitimately rare watch, by a master himself in watchmaking and available here very reasonably priced. This is a complete package as received when new…

I think they missed the mark with naming the watch.... I could have been the "Kuronograph"!
