A Fusion of Watchmaking and Arita Ware: The Master's Touch

"Constante," a watch planning office, deliberately aims to be "out of step with the times," pursuing designs that are not swayed by trends and grow more cherished with age. Their meticulous craftsmanship, focused on small-batch domestic production with passion poured into every detail, has garnered popularity. The brand's symbol, the domestic watch brand "SPQR," is now a name known to those in the know.

SPQR's concept is a collaboration with traditional Japanese crafts and artisan techniques that Japan proudly presents to the world. Its new model, "SPQR arita ism smallsecond," has been released in a limited edition of 150 pieces starting August 1st.

This latest creation, the ninth installment produced by Kazuhiro Fujiwara, is a collaboration with Arita ware. It is manufactured at the kiln of "Shin-Kiln," a prestigious establishment founded during the Tenpo era in Arita, Saga Prefecture. The exceptional techniques of master artisan Hiroyuki Hashiguchi are fully showcased. This analog wristwatch with a small second complication, a testament to the beauty of Japanese traditional crafts, features a dial and crown with a beautiful balance of deep, lustrous white porcelain and indigo glaze.
