The Creativity of Artisans

A dial created in collaboration with Hataman Touen, a prestigious kiln renowned for Imari Nabeshima porcelain

This timepiece features a dial created in collaboration with Hataman Touen, a prestigious kiln renowned for Imari Nabeshima porcelain. As a bearer of traditional craftsmanship, Hataman Touen continues to uphold the classic designs of Imari Nabeshima porcelain while also embracing new challenges in creation, driven by an unrelenting pursuit of excellence in materials, techniques, and aesthetics. This spirit resonates deeply with Credor’s own reverence for artisanship in watchmaking, and through the harmony of their shared philosophies, a remarkable expression of Japanese beauty has been achieved.

A distinctive gradation characteristic of Imari Nabeshima porcelain

The dial showcases a distinctive gradation characteristic of Imari Nabeshima porcelain, created by a rich cobalt blue tone set against a translucent white porcelain base. An alternating pattern consists of a blue feather motif beneath the indexes and a transparent feather motif between them, which combine to create a harmonious interplay. To achieve this captivating depth, the gradation, indexes, and two variations of feathers are applied on separate layers of the glazed dial. The deep blue feathers and gradation are applied before the glazing, while the transparent feathers and indexes are added over the glazed surface. Throughout these stages, the dial undergoes five firings, creating softly nuanced blue tones and an elegant finish.

A graceful curvature characteristic of Goldfeather

The dial begins as a larger piece of porcelain, which undergoes the firing process, before it is precisely reduced to a thickness of approximately one millimeter through advanced grinding techniques. This process is critical, as a thin porcelain dial like that of the Goldfeather would otherwise be vulnerable to warping under high temperatures. By carefully controlling this delicate process, the dial not only resists deformation during firing but also achieves the graceful curvature that defines the Goldfeather’s signature aesthetic.

Ultra-thin mechanical movement

Caliber 6890 is an ultra-thin mechanical movement with a thickness of only 1.98 mm. This is a special movement that can only be assembled by experienced master craftsmen.
The logo of Hataman Touen is subtly depicted on the case back next to “Limited Edition.”
