Love your review. I had been admiring this watch from a distance and now you’ve given me a window to every classic detail. There are so many incredible small watch makers out there but even the large ones could take some cues from the 008!
I agree a 100 percent ! The more I wear it the more I realize how incredible this watch is in it's conception, the dial and the movement are really premium and luxurious and you really can feel it honestly ! Wonderful comment John ! 👏
I went through the Kuoe website last night and picked the same watch as the one I might purchase. If I have enough money, I certainly will buy a Breguet. For now this one is attainable.
Graet video Mal, thank you for introducing me with this astoniching brand. Japanese precision in incredible, the watch details are done at perfection, I am impressed
Well hi ladies and gentlemens ! What an incredible watch and company don't you think ? A real breath of fresh air ! So tell me what you think in the comment section I would be happy to read you ! Take care 😉.
First time I’ve seen this Japanese watch brand…I am very impressed…gorgeous…terrific value! Tho I am not someone who would normally buy and wear a dress watch…I am ordering one today! Thank you for the review!
It is a stunning looking watch. Thank you for a wonderful review, I was in the market for a dress watch and wanted something to replace a Seiko Sharp Edge watch I had to sell on and Kueo randomly appeared on my FB feed. Your review is definitely making me want to get this now!
This watch is beautiful! I'm starting to like smaller watches, but on my 7.5" wrist I'd still like a 36mm. I don't know if I like the gold or steel case variant more. I do think this beats any Seiko Presage, it even costs less.
Hello, the way it is made it would look wonderful on a 7.5 because of the overall ratio with the lugs of the watch, now watch my channel, i present an incredible Seiko presage with a lot of history and the highest quality (6R15 movement not the presage with the 4R they do nowadays) well I have to tell you, this KUOE has nothing to envy in comparison to a presage !!!!!! The movement and the whole creation is hand on hand with my presage but i repeat with my presage, not the presage they do nowadays because that Kuoe just beats them all easy.. My honest opinion, cheers !
Josh i'm sending you a heart because we thought of the same thing !!! Imagine how great it would be. I don't think they would ask Kuoe a watch for the next bond but that could be a watch enthusiast "thing", if the brand would play the game of course... Cheers Brother !
I was introduced to this watch brand a few months ago and have been sitting on the fence. After your video, I'm convinced. I'm placing my order today! Thanks.
This is a beautiful watch. My only other preferences would be if it was in pure gold or gold cap, and I the zero on the ten numeral is throwing me off. I don’t know if it’s how the font should be, but as a artist myself I think that it’s thickness is off. I would still get this watch non the less, awesome design and execution and a awesome review!
Hi Anthony, the zero is exactly as "Breguet" created it, trust me on that, go and have a look at my seiko review, same numerals same zero ;). Excellent comment by the way !
I am so interested in this model due to the cushion shape. Thank you for the great review. i can feel the passion in your voice : ) Could you please let me know how is the build quality of this watch? is the rotor heavy? did you ever kurono watches before? how do you compare this with kurono? I have kurono and thats why i want to know.
I hope there will be more traditional sized (ie, small sub-40mm) watches from other makers to follow Kuoe's example. I'm very happy with the gold Royal Smith but I ordered a different Kuoe leather strap. The two included (black and light tan) look too rugged and "cowboy" style leather for so elegant a watch. A more subtle dark brown leather seems more appropriate.
MAC make a donation to the channel so I can buy one (just kidding but i'm not sponsored and I have invested so much already of my money time and sweat trust me). If one day the channel pays something I will (already thought about it I'm not stupid dear.) Cheers.
Really liking this watch, actually just not a super big fan of the signature on clasp and crown. I think a capital K in the font the numbers are in would have been perfect for the crown and they should have put Kyoto on the clasp aswell on the other corner. But other than that, I’m plotting on getting one for my next watch
i would have liked that Baltic created there own movement, especially with the price they charge, like Yema did. But i have to say the aquascaphe is a beautiful watch.
Hi, for me the answer is an absolute yes ! Others would tell you not to do it, to these people i wwould say, tape in google "Mohammed Ali" cartier tank ! If the greatest is good with it, why not us ! Cheers !
My man, the whole watch smells quality ! This is there flagship, so they put everything in this watch, including an incredible case ! No questions to ask in term of quality on that piece, it's mindblowingly good, cheers.
When it comes to the japanese horology it is easy to be a fan, they are masters at it, the same with véhicules, they are the most reliable ! It's always nice to see the dawn of a company that does well, so yeah you right i love Kuoe. Cheers and thankyou man, loved your comment 😀.
Love this watch,first time seeing the brand and channel,must say you speak great English but you sound like a Dutch person not a French man ? This is not a criticism, just an observation, love the style .
Hello Adam, yes because this watch is a dress watch but with a sort of Gérald Genta shape case, that allows it to be a cameleon ! Super dressy with a suit, sporty vintage with the rest. Plus you have two quick release bracelet, one black and more formal, the other one brown creamy, more casual. Easy to swap ! Cheers.
@@thehandsontime thanks for the quick reply. Really appreciate it. Great video and review btw. I don't know why but I just really love this watch plus I have a small wrist so seems perfect. I first heard of them went I watched a recent watchcrunch cream dial video. I've never bought a micro brand before but I might be picking up this one. 🤞
@@thehandsontime I think so. I’ve been searching for a new watch for weeks. Everything is massive, or pretty. I’m not a diver or a race car driver… I want a nice practical watch!
@@maxinahunt8652 basically a lot of their watches ! But you have tones of watches that would do ! In many brands. But Kuoe is special, because it's Japanese, and you really feel that spirit, especially with this watch...
I was hoping to buy the patek Philippe 7041R one day but come across this watch via IG and I find its retro glam vibe quite similar to that 7041R, I really like the cushion shape with the circle inside which is similar shape to the 7041R, and finally a flat backless automatic vintage vibe watch for woman, considering getting this before my holy grail watch to fill the void for now first ❤️
A super watch to offer as a present, I think any men would be delighted to receive this
I was delighted to receive it for sure !

Hi Rudy, thanks for the comment mate, you won't regret it bro !
Excellent review of a magnificent Japanese manufactured time piece.
Thank you 👍
You welcome dear :).
What a beautiful watch I need to get one too. Looks class👌
Very good review too.
This watch is a neo vintage gem !
Outstanding watch. Outstanding review!
Outstanding comment !
I think this piece will make me break my 37mm minimum rule just absolutely stunning
Please do so, i just aquired a 34mm vintage watch, the size is just great for me !
This watch is impressively elegant and classy. I have never heard of this brand, is it new?
Olivia ! always the best comments ! thank you so much for sharing !

Thankyou so much Joe, Cheers !
I agree that the vintage sizing of watches is much classier and it's sad most watch brands don't think that way.
I completely agree with you !
Great in depth review
Thanks JM !
Completely agree with your comment regarding small vs large Cartier Tank.
You are a person of taste then ! 😏
I am just now spending some time with their old smith 01. I too am hoping they go diver for the 07
Josh i'm sending you a heart because we thought of the same thing !!! Imagine how great it would be. I don't think they would ask Kuoe a watch for the next bond but that could be a watch enthusiast "thing", if the brand would play the game of course...

@@thehandsontime Cheers! Is it bad that I selfishly want them to offer this made up model with an acrylic crystal? :D
@@BigWhiskey91 Come on man, sapphire is better !
@@thehandsontime If I can only have 1 sure ill take sapphire but something about acrylic/hesalite :D
taste and colors ! Go with your heart!
Absolutely fantastic watch. Et superbe review par la même occasion ;)

Congrats, i love every model !

second response from me today…lol…007 DiveWatch…PERFECT IDEA!
they did the 007 and it's not a dive watch sadly 😔
Darn it….a missed opportunity !@@thehandsontime

It is also better if you use a timegrapher to measure the accuracy of the watch.

cool intro!
Thanks mate 😀 !
Speaking of France, the 9039 is also featured in Baltic watches.
i would have liked that Baltic created there own movement, especially with the price they charge, like Yema did. But i have to say the aquascaphe is a beautiful watch.
@@thehandsontime I have bought one by accident and didn't return it because it's so pretty.
@@aspexpl the acasquaphe ? lucky you dude !
@@thehandsontime it's no luck, I wanted a MR01 and I misgoofed while ordering. 😒
Nice mistake 😅
Love this review. I am 6’4” tall with 7.5 wrist. Would this look too small on me?

What do you think about the case quality? Planning to snap the silver one with beads of rice bracelet.

Hi , how can I buy this one?
And this brand famous or not?
here : www.kuoe-en.com/royal-smith-90-008 and yes this brand is famous among watch "connaisseur", it's a fantastic brand...
With that thin movement, this watch thickness should be below 9mm.
They have chosen a particular case so not really no..
Great watches.
indeed !
Could I wear this as an everyday watch?
Hello Adam, yes because this watch is a dress watch but with a sort of Gérald Genta shape case, that allows it to be a cameleon ! Super dressy with a suit, sporty vintage with the rest.

I dont get it sorry....
Would be perfect if it was slimmer.
it's already really super slim when you think about size on your wrist to case ratio...

Finally a decent automatic watch for WOMEN!!
You can actually wear them all !

You won't regret it, it's a beautiful watch and cost wayyyyyyyyy less than the patek Philippe 7041R (beautiful also).
Cant not be worn by most Europeans. A 35mm watch it literally female sized for western men.
I have a 16.5mm of a wrist looks like a 36 datejust on me, I love it ! So i would disagree but thanks for sharing man 😀.
Yes! Finally a decent automatic watch for women that doesn’t cost a fortune!
