It sits together with Hajime Asaoka’s handmade atelier pieces to have hit record-breaking auction results and is today one of our most sought-after timepieces. Reiwa's simple beauty belies an ultra complex dialmaking process that has significantly low yield rates even back in 2019. This year's Anniversary Reiwa is multiple factors harder to make due to its higher color contrast. Since manufacturing started in January 2024, only an average of 5 out of every 100 dials produced have been accepted. The 2024 Anniversary Reiwa's unique dial is a two-part process over a single cylindrical dial plate with steep curvatures at the perimeter. Hajime Asaoka was determined to achieve for the first time two highly contrasting colors - metallic lapis-green at the periphery and a deep black mirror at the center. In the past - which already saw manufacturing challenges - the colors in the middle and at the periphery were close. This time round, achieving the specific contrast of colors sensei desired was a massive challenge in volume dialmaking.
