KUOE is a young watch brand founded in 2020 in the traditional city of Kyoto, Japan. Inspired by Kyoto's rich cultural history and aesthetic heritage, KUOE focuses on a combination of timeless elegance and modern craftsmanship. The brand's designs are inspired by classic vintage watches and are characterized by minimalist details and high-quality materials that combine a touch of retro style with modern precision - all at affordable prices. ROYAL SMITH is KUOE's premium series.
Redesigned from the ground up and equipped with carefully selected components, this model is inspired by the antique watches of the 1940s and uses a classic cushion case that was widely used at the time. The numerals on the dial are applied individually by hand, and the surface is finished with finely structured textures. Both the watch glass and the case back are made of domed sapphire crystal with AR coating for optimal clarity and durability.
Inside the watch beats the CITIZEN MIYOTA Cal.9039 movement - a high-precision Japanese-made movement with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (8 beats per second), ensuring smooth movement of the seconds hand and utmost accuracy. At just 3.9mm thick, this powerful, slim movement is even more compact than the Swiss ETA2824, which has gained worldwide recognition.
This watch offers automatic winding and manual winding with hacking function (stop second).
