Tohoku Kogei and Gucci’s collaborative project introduces their second creation today. The fusion of Gucci’s long cultivated craftsmanship and Tohoku’s traditional workmanship gave birth to an ‘Interlocking Watch’ featuring Miyagi prefecture’s traditional handicraft, Tamamushi Lacquerware, on its dial. This exclusive watch will be sold in Japan, only in selected Gucci stores and shops offering Gucci watches. The portion of the sales proceeds from the watch will be donated to support the restoration of arts and culture of the Tohoku region through Sendai city.
