The Minase Horizon GEN Black DLC is a limited-edition timepiece that merges Japanese precision with Swiss craftsmanship to redefine luxury watchmaking. While Japanese watchmaking is often associated with names like Seiko and Citizen, Minase emerges as a hidden gem, embodying a philosophy rooted in meticulous craftsmanship and innovation. Founded in 2005 as the sister company of Kyowa Co., a renowned precision tool manufacturer, Minase leverages decades of expertise in metalwork to create exquisite timepieces that captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
The Horizon GEN DLC joins Minase’s esteemed Horizon collection, boasting a striking black DLC-coated steel case inspired by the kanji character “玄,” symbolizing depth and mystery. Designed with comfort and style in mind, the Horizon GEN DLC features a 38mm wide case with angled integrated lugs and sapphire crystal glass meticulously cut to follow the curvature of its architecture. The black dial, adorned with delicately bent hands and the brand’s logo, exudes sophistication while paying homage to Minase’s origins.
Underneath its sleek exterior lies the Swiss ETA 2892-2 automatic winding movement, customized by Minase to ensure superior performance and reliability. With hand-finished surfaces, a 50-hour power reserve, and a frequency of 28,800 vph, the Minase Horizon GEN Black DLC watch delivers precision and elegance with every tick. Limited to just 25 pieces, this horological masterpiece will debut internationally at the District Time Fair in Washington, offering discerning collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of Japanese watchmaking excellence.
