The inception of the KUOE brand and concept can be traced back to 2010 when Uchimura, a language student in London, stumbled upon a shop selling antique watches. It was there that he encountered a collection of hand-wound watches from the 1940s to the 1970s. The watches, despite being antiques, exuded a timeless warmth and charm that appealed to him. This encounter ignited Uchimura's passion for classic design, leading him to realise the universal appeal of timeless pieces. After gaining industry experience in Kyoto, a city renowned for its rich tradition, he finally established KUOE in 2020. The brand's debut model, Old Smith 90-001, was launched in April, marking the culmination of Uchimura's vision to reintroduce classic design into modern wristwatches.
