The Laurel, released in 1913, was the first domestically produced wristwatch in Japan. It was developed with an eye towards the arrival of the wristwatch era, making it the first domestically produced wristwatch of its kind in Japan. The mass production of wristwatches began globally after 1891 (Meiji 24), making it an adventurous challenge for Japanese watchmakers who were lagging behind. This led to significant advancements in design technology, precision machining, and machine tool development. In 2014, the model was designated as a "mechanical heritage" by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers for its contribution to the development of Japanese machinery.
While several versions exist, the model being offered features an 18-karat gold case and seems to have been marketed as a gift item. There are engravings of "K18" and a serial number on the inside of the case back. The watch itself weighs 17g, and although the case weight is unknown, its value as gold is considerable.
