Kiwame Tokyo’s Kubo Momiji introduces a deep-red lacquer dial and a raised maple leaf, with a price of $630 before taxes reported by Fratello and Monochrome. Preorders open on November 17, 2026, at 9 a.m. Japan Standard Time. The brand schedules deliveries from early January 2027.

A leaf inside the recessed seconds display

The dial color takes its name from Koimomiji, a traditional Japanese shade associated with darkening autumn maple leaves. The small-seconds counter sits between four and five o’clock, recessed below the main dial. A maple-leaf relief rises from its floor in the same red finish.

Kiwame leaves out a printed seconds track. The counterweight of the small hand instead carries a shape inspired by the roof of Kaminarimon, the gate in Tokyo’s Asakusa district. Applied Arabic numerals have fine vertical brushing, while diamond-shaped luminous accents mark all twelve hour positions.

Luminous material also fills the hour and minute hands. A flat, vertically brushed bezel surrounds the domed sapphire crystal, whose inner surface receives an antireflective coating.

Automatic movement and a January delivery

The Japanese automatic caliber drives the offset seconds display without a central seconds hand. Kiwame describes the movement as regulated. Monochrome reports a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and a 42-hour power reserve.

A push-pull crown sits at three o’clock. The supplied Italian calf-leather strap has quick-release spring bars and tapers toward its buckle. Kiwame offers worldwide shipping and a two-year warranty. Orders are limited to one watch per person across the Kubo collection.
