Throwback to The Minase Divido Coffea Arabica Limited Edition, one of the rarest variants of the Divido line. This collaboration between Minase and was launched in 2021 to celebrate 10tenLabs becoming Minase’s Middle East distributor. Limited to 10 pieces worldwide, it sold out immediately through the 10tenLabs collector network.

Sallaz polishing — also known as Sarazu — is where distortion-free surfaces meet razor-sharp edges. A hand-finished technique perfected in Japan, turning steel into a mirror while enhancing the watch’s geometry.

The Phoenix is a legendary sacred bird, traditionally depicted with the head of a rooster, the wings of a crane, and the tail feathers of a peacock. It symbolizes transformation, resilience and hope after destruction. Lacquer artist Hakose’s composition of the Phoenix in full flight is a true mastery of lacquer art.

The Asagimadara is a migratory butterfly that can travel up to 2’000 kilometers, crossing seas and islands throughout Asia. In Japan, the Asagimadara symbolizes travel, seasonal change and connection across long distances. Lacquer artist Mr. Hakose envisioned the pocket watch as a bridge between Japan and the wider world—a vessel of cultural connection. The white areas of the butterfly’s wings are produced with shells of quail eggs crushed into fine fragments and placed onto the dial surface.

The pocket watch dial is decorated with the wajima maki-e technique. The base each dial is brass, carefully heat-treated, polished and lacquered. Designs are then painted in urushi lacquer, and before the surface dries, fine powders of gold and silver, along with colored pigments, are delicately sprinkled onto it. Each piece takes months to complete and embodies patience, precision, and a tradition of craftsmanship refined over centuries.

💡Have you ever heard of Tamahagane steel?

It is the material traditionally used for Japanese swords. 🗡️ Historically carried by the Samurai, the sword represented honor, discipline, and loyalty. For centuries, master swordsmiths have treated the forging process as an art form and spiritual practice. The name engraved on a good sword was meant to remain visible for 800 years. The blade is traditionally forged from Tamahagane steel, a high-carbon steel produced in a clay furnace.

Minase’s upcoming novelty is forged from this very same steel 🔥 Stay tuned !
