Time leaves its mark on objects. We choose to honor it. Each watch is modified and patinated by hand, inspired by Japanese craftsmanship and the wabi-sabi aesthetic. No two pieces are perfect. No two are alike. Here, time is not erased.

MY STORIE

I am French-Japanese, born between two cultures that share the same respect for time, craftsmanship, and materials. Very early on, I began assembling watches out of passion. Not to follow a trend, but to understand how an object lives, how it ages, how it tells a story through its marks and imperfections. Looking at modern watchmaking, something was missing for me. Everything was too new, too smooth, too perfect. So I wanted to create different watches, inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the wabi-sabi aesthetic, where imperfection becomes a strength.

The art of patina

French-Japanese, I assemble and patinate watches as a passion, inspired by Japanese craftsmanship and wabi-sabi. Aging a watch is an art that requires time, experience, and intuition. Each piece is unique, handcrafted, without compromise.

The details

Every detail of this watch is handcrafted with intention. The patina is applied slowly, without industrial processes, to reveal natural and authentic wear. Variations in color, texture, and finish are an integral part of the design and make each piece unique.

  • DETAILS

    Every watch is crafted and hand-aged by me in Fance, at a time, never in batches.
    Vintage inspired design, finished with quiet precision: brushing, aging, and small adjustments made by hand until it feels right. Because the difference isn’t in loud claims it’s in the details you notice over time.

  • PURPOSE

    My mission is to preserve what I love about Japanese craftsmanship—its restraint, its care, its respect for time—and share it with the world through watches. Not just something to own, but something to live with: a small, lasting piece of Japan on your wrist

  • MY EXPERIENCE

    Inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the wabi-sabi aesthetic, I have developed my own approach: aging watches by hand, in a controlled, patient, intuitive manner. Patina is not a visual effect; it is a balance between material, wear, and intention.
