🏛️ Background on the Knot brand

The Knot brand was founded in 2014 in the Kichijoji district of Tokyo and embodies the motto "Made in Japan for Everyone." Its founder, Hiromitsu Endo, aimed to raise awareness of Japanese watchmaking through high-quality timepieces, entirely made in Japan, that are modern, precise, and affordable.

The brand name "Knot" symbolizes connection: The brand aims to "link" Japanese craftsmanship with modern design and the people who wear the watches. The goal is to make Japanese quality ("Japan Quality") accessible worldwide without compromising on manufacturing.

Knot watches are produced exclusively in Japan. Knot collaborates with a variety of specialized workshops: dials are crafted in Nagano, leather straps come from traditional tanneries in Tochigi and Himeji, and cases and metal parts from precision workshops in Saitama and Iwate. This close cooperation with Japanese artisans ensures that Knot represents authentic craftsmanship in the spirit of the Japanese concept of Monozukuri – the pursuit of perfection through meticulous handcraft and a love of detail.

A key characteristic of Knot watches is their modular design: watch cases and straps can be changed without tools and combined in a variety of ways. This allows each watch to be customized to reflect personal style. This modularity combines functionality with design freedom, making Knot watches an expression of individual taste.

The design is clear, understated, and technically precise – typically Japanese. Knot deliberately avoids superfluous ornamentation, focusing instead on simple, well-conceived forms, high-quality materials, and refined proportions. This combination of modernity and tradition has quickly established Knot as a major player in the Japanese watch market.

The company philosophy can be summarized in a few words: Japanese quality, honest design, and accessible craftsmanship. Knot thus represents a new generation of Japanese watchmakers that translates traditional precision into a contemporary, urban environment – ​​stylish, functional, and consistently "Made in Japan."
