Akane (茜) – the vibrant, warm red that has represented evening skies, passion, and vitality in Japanese culture for centuries. Inspired by the fascination of a blood moon and the mysterious ambiance of a total lunar eclipse, the Kaguya Akane is the warmest yet most powerful variant in the Dream Moonphase series.
The mother-of-pearl dial has been refined with a special Pantone coloring, displaying a deep, calm red hue that nonetheless shimmers vibrantly – glowing at times, velvety at others, depending on the light. The natural luster of the material is preserved, lending the watch fascinating depth.
The decorative 31-day moon disc at 10 o'clock complements the composition with a touch of poetry – without astronomical function, but full of symbolism.
As a homage to Japanese color aesthetics, mythological moon imagery, and modern watch design, the Kaguya Akane combines visual presence with quiet elegance.
The Kaguya belongs to Wancher's affordable Dream Watch series: elegant dress watches with special dial designs, solid technology, and plenty of character.
