The Unique Golden crack lacquerware design in this watch is handcrafted by Master Urushi artisan - Hirota, with the aim to recreate a timeless sense of Japanese history, tradition, and art that is beautiful and artistically elegant to the eye
By using the "Hibi-Nuri" Japanese lacquerware technique, Master Hirota was able to create the "Golden Crack" on the dial. This technique was also known as the "Kawari Nuri" changing lacquer. Master Hirota's craftmanship work can also be seen in Wancher Pen's Dream Pen collection - Hirota Urushi which features a similar attribute to the Dream Watch II - Hibi Nuri
Dream Watch Project: Background
Successful on Makuake (a Japanese crowdfunding platform), Wancher Dream Watches is being a hot topic in the Japanese market.
The watches are from their "Dream Watch" line and the specialty of these watches is that the dial is hand-painted with traditional Japanese art techniques like Urushi and Raden powered with Japan Miyota 28800 vph Hi-beat Movement.
Within just 1 hour, the project became successful and has been receiving so much appreciation.
Till now there have been only a few companies like Seiko utilizing Japanese art techniques on the dial because the process is so difficult and time-consuming.
Hence you can by now understand why these kinds of watches are so rare and expensive.
And today I am honored to introduce you to one such masterpiece watch from Wancher's Dream Watch line called “Dream Watch II - Hibi Nuri
Holding the watch for today's auction I can say this watch really reflects the made-in-Japan spirit!
*Note: The watch of today's auction is only exclusively available for pre-order on Wancher Watch international website but I have been lucky enough to get hold of a piece and wanted to introduce it to you all.
Urushi Dial : HIROTA
Each piece of Hibi Nuri is carefully crafted by the lacquer master “Yoko Hirota”. She discovered the literature of “Hibi Nuri” from what her grandfather left. Over the next few years, she learned this technique by herself, and after times of trials and errors, she finally mastered this technique
Due to the complexity of the procedure, mass production is impossible, it takes considerable time to complete each dial. By applying the egg white during the drying process, the fine cracks will be stood out on the surface. The cracked patterns are created over time and effort. Each timepiece is one-of-a-kind, it will be your own special watch.
Japanese lacquerware has a long history and tradition, is elegant and glossy by applying lacquer repeatedly. Wancher Dream Watch II is a wristwatch that enhances the dignity of the wearer, where you can feel that kind of gentle texture of lacquer in your daily life.
Movement
Dream Watch II Hibi Nuri is powered by an automatic movement from the Japanese company MIYOTA. The mechanical Movement Miyota 9015 is known for its reliability.

The choice of this high-performance movement has made it worthy of a living and created a "watch that will be passed down to the next generation."
