"How should a chronograph be designed as a true, uncompromising tool watch?
The Kurono ‘Structure’ Chronograph S1 is my definitive answer, as a product designer, to what a tool chronograph should truly be."
__________________________
STRUCTURE Series: A New Style Of Tool Watch
"Until now, the Kurono Tokyo watches I have created were designed from my dual perspective as an independent watchmaker and a product designer.
Their designs were rooted in the formal beauty cultivated over the long history of watchmaking, while incorporating a modern touch suited to contemporary timepieces.
The new Kurono Chronograph S1 raises the purity of product design even further, packing tool-watch functionality into a slightly larger 40mm case."

"The dial utilizes a unique four-layer structure that minimizes the gap between each hand and index as much as possible to maximize legibility. In particular, the chronograph hand has almost zero parallax relative to the indices, allowing it to fully demonstrate the accuracy of a high-beat chronograph.
Additionally, the subdials have been enlarged to their utmost limit, and the counter hands feature a matching fluorescent orange color that resonates with the chronograph hand."

Conditions of Sale
Any transactions with Kurono means that you unequivocally accept the following terms and conditions of purchase:
Kurono has a strict No Refund policy.
Please ensure that you are certain in your purchasing decision before commencing to pay for your order. Finalizing and paying for your order will mean that you unequivocally understand and accept that you forfeit the right to cancellations and refunds for any reason, even in the pre-order stage. As this is a high demand limited edition item, this policy allows us to prevent hoarding/fraud and ensures that the product reaches the wrists of real collectors and fans. Any cancellations will be subject to a restocking fee of 19.23% of the watch’s MSRP to cater to card transaction and platform costs. The extra will be donated to our selected children’s charity of the season.
Shipping dates
Before making a purchase, please refer to the product pages on the shipping advisory. Depending on current world situations, there may be countries or jurisdictions where we may be allowed to ship to.
Precautions against resale accounts
Accounts that are suspected of being linked to reseller profiles will be banned immediately. We will take measures to prevent future purchases by such accounts.
Multiple purchases
To combat the existing reseller problem, we have a stringent one watch per customer policy. In the case of duplicate purchases, our system will detect this and both orders will be canceled.
Payment provider/Credit card errors
If a credit card error occurs at checkout, it is primarily due to either the security policies or restrictions put in place by your card issuer, and not our payments transactions provider. Please ensure that your card has overseas purchases enabled before you participate in this order. Please note that our payments provider will put in place strict verification processes such as OTP codes and matching addresses to your card.
Alternatively, you might want to consider alternative payment options such as Apple Pay or Android Pay. Please note that for Apple Pay, a Safari browser is necessary for it to work.
Loss of package/Custom delays
We will only use DHL International Economy from the point of origin and international airmail for all international orders or local delivery courier service. Please refer to DHL/local delivery courier's terms of service in your respective country should you require more information on shipping terms, conditions, and requirements.
You understand that any loss of packages or customs delays shall not be within the purview of Kurono, and any claims and correspondence shall be with DHL/local delivery courier, or with your country’s customs authority. While Kurono shall provide assistance with regards to paperwork on a best effort basis, you understand that Kurono shall not be held liable for any matter with this regard.
Additional Measures to stem Speculation and Unauthorized Resale
Warranty for Limited Edition Items
- Warranty or service claims within the first six months of receiving your watch by anyone other than the original buyer on record will be rejected.

Shipping Policy

Please refer to DHL/local delivery courier's terms of service in your respective country should you require more information on shipping terms, conditions, and requirements.
VAT/GST/Excise Taxes
Please note that you have not been charged domestic VAT or related taxes at the point of order, DHL or the local delivery courier that they use may require you to pay the necessary VAT/GST/excise taxes applicable to your country of receipt before releasing the shipment. These taxes are unique to your country of domicile, and we shall not be held responsible for the payment of such taxes, except for local domestic taxes.
Exchanges & Repairs (Warranty)
All items are thoroughly inspected by watchmakers before they leave the factory for shipping. In the unlikely event that your item arrives damaged during transit, you may be eligible for a one-to-one exchange. Eligibility for exchange shall be on a case-by-case basis and only after your return is received and inspected. We will notify you of the approval or rejection of your exchange.
If you are approved, a new watch (if stock is available) shall be shipped to you without charge. If stock is unavailable, we will offer either a replacement of the affected part(s), a repair, or a refund.
We only repair or replace items if they are defective or damaged in transit. You will need to send pictures of the exterior of the shipping package in its entirety to help in your claim. You will be requested to take a picture of your warranty card to ensure the information tallies with your original order details as well. From there, we will make the necessary arrangements.
Please note that repairs may take up to 2-3 months depending on the condition of the watch. If you are uncomfortable with the waiting time, do consider before sending your watch back to the repair center.
Purchasing Questions
Yes, a valid account is necessary before purchase. We recommend that customers register for an account prior to any pre-order, so that the checkout process will not be delayed.
All warranty and service claims within the first six months of receiving your watch must be made through the original purchaser, otherwise it will be denied.
We accept the following payment methods: VISA, Mastercard, American Express (AMEX), Apple Pay & Android/Google Pay only.
Payments for all Kurono Tokyo products will be charged only in USD, unless stated otherwise.
No, payment should strictly be made by USD only. There will be no other currency options available.
We apologize, as our payment processing partner will only process one credit card per cart checkout.
Kurono has a strict No Refund Policy. Finalizing and paying for your order will mean that you unequivocally understand and accept that you forfeit the right to cancellations and refunds for any reason.
A tracking number will be sent to you via e-mail once the package has been sent out. If you have more enquiries regarding this, do contact the Kurono team through e-mail at info@kuronotokyo.com
Due to the very short lead times between allocation and delivery, changes of addresses will not be allowed. Successful customers are advised to enter an accurate shipping address at the invoice finalization stage. Any changes after the fact may result in cancellation of your order and reallocation of your watch to another customer.
3 Months installments
If you successfully completed the checkout process and your card was charged, please check your spam folder for a Plan Creation email.
If you didn't complete the checkout process but entered your card information, the hold on your card is likely an authorization to verify available credit. This hold should drop soon, and you won't be charged unless the plan was successful.
Payments are the regular installments that are charged to your credit card. Authorizations for up to the full purchase amount are taken in addition to your regular installments, to guarantee your future payments.
If you are unable to continue with your payments, please reach out to us directly at info@kuronotokyo.com to discuss on how we can assist you on the matter.
When creating an installment plan you do not need to pay anything upfront. However, upon plan creation, your first installment will be charged to your card right away.
For most installment plans your first payment will be charged to your card immediately upon checkout.
For any situations where you have not yet received your order, and you are concerned about your installment plan transactions, please contact us directly at info@kuronotokyo.com.
Transactions on your instalment plan will continue as scheduled.
