MUNE KUROTSUKI(黒月）

Decent product, but a somewhat misleading brand identity.

Decent product, but I was quite dissapointed when I discovered this is a Karl Leimon side project. 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.

So happy with my Mune!

I can't stop looking at it. It was love at second sight because I have a 18.5 cm wrist and I was worried it would look too small. I was wrong. I am already shopping for straps to keep it on my wrist for more occasions. Meticulously crafted by people who obviously have pride in their work.
