Founded by Kenji Uchimura in Kyoto, Japan, the goal behind KUOE is a rather simple one: to share the appeal of classic watch designs with the world. While it began as a crowdfunded sale for a single watch model in 2020, Kuoe has produced more than 10 watch collections to date, with even more planned for the year ahead.
Every Kuoe timepiece is hand-assembled in the brand’s Kyoto workshop, using custom-designed components and reliable Japanese movements. Staying true to vintage aesthetics and proportions, most of their models range from 34mm to 38mm in size.
At the Windup Watch Fair, Kuoe will bring a taste of its Kyoto flagship store experience — offering a warm welcome and showcasing select store-exclusive pieces alongside the core collection. We invite you to stop by and discover the brand just as you would in Kyoto.
