The product itself is very respectable and looks great. The story that is told of the independent watchmaking of Masami Watanabe is somewhat misleading and exploits the success of other small Japanese independents IMO. The reality of this being a Karl Leimon project shows the marketing and images are carefully curated to portray a japanse microbrand that is in reality backed by an established brand with the ability to manufacture watches at scale.
