If you're considering purchasing a wristwatch, please take a look here first. We've specifically detailed how to care for your watch. ↓ ↓ ↓ https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/kw9rTcsg I am OLIE, the creator from Kaeru no Tokei Ya (Frog Watch Shop), residing in a mountainous area of Nagano Prefecture. Kaeru no Tokei Ya crafts handmade wristwatches that make the passage of time feel precious, as if a story is about to unfold, using colorful stained glass with charming imperfections like bubbles and waves. My father, who applies his woodblock printing techniques to dye the leather straps, My mother, who creates the soft cushions that complement the watch's aesthetic when packaging, My Nepali husband, who photographs and videos our watches to bring them to a wider audience, And my young daughter, who supports us with her boundless energy – these are the core members of Kaeru no Tokei Ya. While Kaeru no Tokei Ya's handmade wristwatches tick precisely, they possess a playful spirit. Though they mark time with regularity and precision, they somehow convey a sense of human presence. Gazing at this calming wristwatch, reminiscent of a page from a picture book, where stories seem ready to begin... We hope to help you create moments of relaxation, like pausing for a gentle cup of tea and letting go of your worries. To understand why I started making these handmade stained glass wristwatches, it's a bit of a longer story. You can read more about my background in our brand story. ▽ ▽ ▽ https://jp.pinkoi.com/store/froggywatch?tab=story ■■ About the Wristwatch ■■ [Watch Body] A cat is silhouetted against a soft beige, undulating stained glass border. The overall color palette is classic, making it easy to pair with various outfits. It will enhance your unique personal style. The brass body might appear substantial at first glance, but it's surprisingly lightweight, so you won't feel much stress wearing it. [Recommended for These Individuals] For a casual outing on a weekend: - Wanting to spend twilight moments with your cat. - Desiring something unique that stands out from the crowd. - Wishing to express your individuality without words. - Wanting to wear something proudly, without the perceived fuss of brand names. - Appreciating the warmth of handmade items with a visible creator behind them. The strap is crafted from cowhide leather, dyed in a beige hue using woodblock printing techniques. My father, who is dedicated to woodblock printing, applies the wood grain design to leather that has been tanned using natural methods. The combination of the gentle, natural feel of the wood grain and the subtly aged brass, which evokes a sense of nostalgia, results in a wristwatch of rare uniqueness. Since the watch strap is in direct contact with the skin and is prone to absorbing water and oil, it cannot be enjoyed for its polished sheen over many years like a handbag or belt. To make it easy for you to replace the strap yourself, we've designed it so it can be attached simply by threading it through. You can change it in just 10 seconds without any tools. We also sell straps individually, allowing you to match the belt color to your outfit. As the strap is made from a single piece of leather, you can also trim it yourself if it's too long. If you provide your wrist circumference, we can adjust it to your size before shipping. *A one-year warranty is included with the watch. [Size and Materials] 『Size』 SS Size Watch Body: Diameter 2cm, Height 1cm Strap: Width 0.5cm, Length to belt hole (wrist circumference) Minimum 14cm, Maximum 19cm 『Materials』 Watch Body: Stained glass, brass, Seiko quartz movement Strap: Cowhide leather [Personalization] We can engrave initials on the side or back of the watch using a router. Approximately 3-4 characters is recommended. Please specify in the remarks section. [As a Gift] This is also recommended as a special gift for occasions like birthdays and Christmas. Adding engraved initials will make it even more special. The wristwatch is presented in a box made of Lokta paper, specially commissioned from a fair-trade organization in Nepal. (This applies even if you do not opt for gift wrapping.) It's so charming you'll want to display it. If you choose the ribbon wrapping option for a gift, we will wrap the box itself, rather than using wrapping paper. A ribbon and a leather gift tag, chosen to complement the watch's aesthetic and color, will be attached. (The color of the ribbon and tag, as well as the pattern on the cushion, will be selected to match the wristwatch and may differ from the photos.) [Past Customer Testimonials] - Although it's thicker than a standard watch, the simple form enhances its cuteness. - Purchased as a celebratory gift for returning home safely after recovering from a serious illness, playing on the auspicious meaning of 'Kaeru' (frog). - I hadn't worn a wristwatch for over 15 years since I started carrying a mobile phone, but this was a watch I absolutely had to have. - It looked lovely in the pictures, but in person, it's a truly beautifully crafted watch. I adore the way the stained glass changes expression with the light, the way the leather color fits perfectly in hand, and the cushion that makes the watch stand out. I will treasure it. - I find it to be a very original watch, unlike anything on the market. The glass part looks like a rippling pond, and it seems like the frog might move at any moment. - When the stained glass catches the light from indoor lighting or natural sunlight, it creates an indescribable effect on the dial!
