Unleashing Elegance and Versatility: Kiwame Tokyo Welcomes New IWAO Collection to the Brand Lineup
Hot off the heels of its recent launch, Kiwame Tokyo is making waves again with the release of its second collection - the IWAO. Remaining true to the brand’s roots in Japanese design language, this new collection offers a less formal, appealing look that carries with it depth and texture, and in doing so, appears as an admirable counterpart to its more sophisticated predecessors. Leveraging the practical essence of a field watch, the IWAO collection infuses an air of refined simplicity in its design. There are two variants on offer, the silver IWAO ‘GINKAI’ and the black IWAO ‘SUMI’.
The IWAO’s indices alternate between Arabic numerals and diamond-cut indexes, further illuminating the contrast against the dial’s texture. Emphasizing aesthetics, the seconds hand on the SUMI is silver, with only the tip finished in a deep, rich red, reminiscent of the lacquered pillars of the Kaminarimon gate. The GINKAI variant features a heat-blued seconds hand that provides a fascinating contrast, especially when painted with light.
Underneath the smart, sporty exterior, the IWAO models are driven by a regulated Japanese automatic Miyota 9039 movement. Offering unparalleled reliability, these watches are designed for both daily use and weekend outdoor adventurers alike. Being water-resistant up to 100 meters and safeguarded by a sapphire crystal, the IWAO is steadfastly reliable.
Priced at just $690 USD, the IWAO collection is not just a perfect blend of elegance, versatility, and sporty style but is an affordable masterpiece that lives up to Kiwame Tokyo’s ethos of delivering premium quality at an attainable price point.
