Meguro GMT TORA Black - Ltd Ed 50pcs

For the Black Tora edition, the quiet discipline of handcraft continues beneath the sapphire crystal. The dial—deep, lustrous, and black as lacquered ink—is forged using time-honored Japanese enamel techniques. Developed in small volumes, this enamel work is executed in multiple stages by Hitori’s craftsmen, drawing inspiration from traditional pottery and Edo-period aesthetics. Layered, polished, and kiln-fired several times, the dial emerges with a soft gloss and depth that cannot be replicated by modern industrial means. Every element—the cutouts for the markers and hands, the date window, the fine detailing—is meticulously shaped and finished by hand. Each step is unhurried. Nothing is rushed.

At the base of the enamel dial lies an Edo-era tiger painting—double-signed, discreet yet full of presence. A protective symbol drawn from early Tokugawa folklore, it channels strength, courage, and quiet defiance against misfortune. The tiger, rendered in fluid brushstrokes and warm gradations, stands in harmony with the subtle “Meguro” inscription—calligraphed with grace. Together, they form a piece that feels both intimate and enduring. This is not merely a dial—it is an heirloom of meaning, housed within a watch.
