Introducing the new Kurono Special Projects 37mm INSEKI ‘隕石’, a personal study by Hajime Asaoka as he brings meteorite into the Kurono Tokyo design language. Drawn to the contrast between meteorite’s rugged texture and Kurono’s softly contoured case, Hajime developed a refined bull’s-eye dial that preserves the brand’s signature cylindrical aesthetic, with meteorite at its center and a gently curved surrounding area. Each dial is crafted from Muonionalusta meteorite. When cut and etched, its crystalline structure reveals natural patterns, making every dial unique. To ensure visual strength, Hajime Asaoka personally inspected every single dial and selected only those with compelling character, adding his personal seal as proof of that selection. Gray meteorite is complemented by a white lacquered ring featuring Hajime Asaoka’s personally designed Calligra typeface painted in high relief, finished with hand-bent, high-polished steel hands. Priced at US$1,850 excluding VAT/duties, the Kurono Special Projects 37mm Inseki ‘隕石’ is a limited production release. Global Online Sale will be available at www.kuronotokyo.com on Thursday, 15 January 2026, at 11PM JST. #kuronotokyo #kuronospecialprojects #37mminseki #隕石 #meteoritedial #hajimeasaoka
