Type 1D, Steel Boutique Edition which leans very slightly towardA very early Type 1D from Japanese independent watchmaker Naoya Hida. The Type 1 is Hidas first and most easily understood design. Inspired by mid century Patek Philippe Calatravas and pocket watches, the Type 1 reinterprets that essence toward contemporary through a distinctly Japanese lens. Hida only makes 15 20 Type 1 watches per year and proudly records how many watches he makes yearly on his site. This is the second Type 1D ever made, case 002.
