Specifications
This piece combines the traditional European craft of clock making with the ancient Japanese technique of maki-e.
The maki-e technique, designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, is beautifully expressed by first-class craftsmen using first-class techniques. Each pocket watch is hand-finished, making it one of a kind in the world.
The dial features simple bar indexes for a clean look. This pocket watch is recommended for those who prefer a minimalist design.
The movement is quartz (battery-operated), making it easy to use even for those who are using a watch or pocket watch for the first time.
It requires no special knowledge of watches, so anyone can easily use it, regardless of age or gender. It also makes a great gift, as it requires no complicated maintenance. When the crown is pulled all the way up, everything stops, including the second hand, making it easy to use when setting the time.

Aero was founded in Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 1942 by Maxime Clevage, who inherited the skills and traditions of the Clevagie family, a family of watchmakers.
Currently, Dennis Bolzli, a veteran in the industry, is the company's president, and the company is one of the few Swiss manufacturers specializing in high-end pocket watches.
AERO's distinctive features lie in the warmth of handmade products, which are made using the ancient European "hammering technique" inherited from our predecessors and the excellent carving skills of top-class craftsmen.
In Japan, too, it has been loved by many people for over 30 years as a masterpiece with the precise mechanism that only a handmade manufacturer can offer and a beautiful form that exudes nostalgia.
Crown for adjusting the time at 12 o'clock.
