About the workshop

Cast Planning, Tokyo

Kanamori Yoshinori calls himself "Japan's smallest watch maker." Born into a mandarin orange farming family in Wakayama Prefecture, he was taught as a child to "make what you want yourself," and he handles everything from watch planning to sales and repairs almost entirely by himself. He adheres to uncompromising manufacturing methods that major manufacturers cannot match, and his attitude of repeatedly remaking things until he is satisfied with the shape of the crown, the texture of the dial, and more, makes him a true "watch planning craftsman." He pursues watchmaking that is rooted in the Japanese culture.
