Achimedes Spiral


This is one of a kind completely hand-made watch crafted by a Japanese watchmaker.

The watch is made of 925 silver and I was told it contains a Japanese mechanical movement.

On the watch case back it was engraved: Nabe (the watchmaker's name), 2002.4, SMW008-4, handwinding, silver 925

Also, the watchmaker signed the most significant indication - Achimedes Spiral (the watch is called).

On the Achimedes Spiral's skeleton dial, there are two plates signed Nabe (at 12 o'clock) and Handwinding (at 6 o'clock) respectively. The ultra slim hour, minute and second hands are made of blue-steel.

I bought it from a watch shop in Tokyo, Japan. The only piece I was told, created by the Japanese master - Nabe.
