About

The Dial

The dial is a specially picked color by Hajime Asaoka-sensei in scintillating metallic green with a subtle radial sunburst pattern. Depending on how the light hits at different times of the day or from different angles, the dial displays shades of viridian and emerald, to pine and forest green.


The Design

The Kurono Anniversary Green ‘森:Mori’ continues the iconic art-deco design introduced by celebrated watchmaker Hajime-sensei, with its single-piece dial encased beneath a high-curvature box-sapphire crystal that mimics acrylic glass of the past, and provides a unique light-play. ‘森:Mori’ represents our effort to go back to a state of contemplation and restfulness - after recent launches of more complex watch designs - to our philosophy of humble beauty in simplicity.
