WANCHER Dream Watch - Black Moon - HONEYCOMB KUSHIME by Master Hirota

Wancher Dream Watch – Black Moon - No Date
Kushime Tsuishitsu – honeycomb pattern (Honeycomb Kushime) in deep black

The Dream Watch – Black Moon is a tribute to Japanese craftsmanship – a timepiece like a shadow on the lunar surface. This version with a date display combines a deep black, intricately textured Urushi dial with a highly polished stainless steel case in silver – a combination of understated elegance and refined surface structure.

At its heart is an extraordinary dial, crafted entirely by hand on Kyushu, Japan's southernmost main island. Here, the tradition of Japanese lacquer craftsmanship lives on in the hands of master craftswoman Yoko Hirota .
Two rare painting techniques are used:
– Kushime (櫛目) – a traditional comb pattern from ceramic art
– Tsuishitsu Nuri (堆漆塗) – an elaborate layered lacquer that combines urushi with egg white (ranpaku).

The production of a single dial takes at least three, often four to six months . During this time, the lacquer is built up in dozens of layers, dried, processed, and in a final step brought to its characteristic structure using the finest grinding tools.

The result is a minimalist, almost meditative design – completely without a date display – that combines depth, movement and Japanese aesthetics in one watch.
