Duralumin is known as a material used in the construction of aircraft, ships, and automobiles, and is as lightweight as aluminum, yet as strong as steel. Despite the large top, it doesn’t feel heavy when worn, and provides a stress-free fit even for everyday use. Peace mark that stands out even without a card

Even without a card inside, it can be enjoyed as a simple and stylish accessory. The peace sign is also known as a symbol of peace and anti-war, and is a popular design as a fashion icon. Sophisticated design achieved through superior craftsmanship

However, with the general manufacturing method of accessories, it was not possible to reproduce the “three-dimensional structure that allows cards to be inserted and removed” as in this case. The reason is that the method of normal accessory manufacturing is called “casting.” This is a method of pouring molten material into a mold to form it, but it is not suitable for reproducing complex structures or precise parts.

However, a fateful encounter with a craftsman active in a field other than accessories led to the clock starting to tick again. After a year of repeated prototypes and meticulous attention to detail, the ideal shape was made a reality.

The jointless structure allows for a minimalist and sophisticated design. However, it was not easy to add the ability to store thin cards like trading cards to this design. And this function was the most difficult aspect of the development. To solve this problem, we repeatedly designed and prototyped the product with ultra-fine blades to the millimeter so that thin cards could be stored without any problems. Since even the slightest error directly affects the functionality and appearance, this process requires advanced techniques and fine adjustments by skilled craftsmen. This advanced processing technology has resulted in a design that is both beautiful and functional.
