Four models of the collaborative automatic watch (mechanical watch) from the TV anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” have been decided for a restock. Four models of watches featuring Kamado Tanjiro and others are being restocked from the collaboration specialty brand GARRACK starting November 11, 2024.
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” serialized by Gotouge Koyoharu in Weekly Shonen Jump from November 2016 to May 2020, tells the story of Kamado Tanjiro, a boy who loses his family to demons and joins the Demon Slayer Corps to fight demons and turn his demonized sister Nezuko back into a human.
The TV anime produced by ufotable began with the first season, “Unwavering Resolve Arc,” followed by the second season, “Entertainment District Arc,” the third season, “Swordsmith Village Arc,” and the fourth season, “Hashira Training Arc,” which began airing in May 2024. It has been announced that the “Infinity Castle Arc” will be produced as a three-part theatrical film.
The “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Automatic Watch” being restocked this time is a mechanical watch featuring Kamado Tanjiro, Kamado Nezuko, Agatsuma Zenitsu, and Rengoku Kyojuro. This popular product, which was first released on August 23 and sold out immediately, has been decided for a restock.
The watch face uses silver leaf from Kanazawa Haku, one of Japan’s traditional crafts. It boasts a sophisticated yet luxurious shine that is unique to Japanese products. Skilled craftsmen manually design and paint the foil for each piece, giving each watch a unique design with a different balance of silver leaf.
Nylon and calf leather are used for the straps, and materials that match each design are adopted. The design is meticulous, faithfully following the world and character costumes of the anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.”
The “Kamado Tanjiro Model,” a diver’s mechanical watch, features a green and black silver leaf on the watch face that evokes his haori (jacket). The disc that rotates once per second represents the hand guard of his Nichirin Blade, and the watch hands are designed to resemble the Nichirin Blade and its sheath.
A kasugai crow is placed at the 12 o’clock position as an accent. The strap is made of nylon material.
The “Kamado Nezuko Model” has a guilloche pattern on the watch face in the pattern of her kimono, and the gradation of the colored silver leaf by skilled craftsmen creates a beautiful finish. The watch hands feature a motif inspired by her hair ribbon. A green bamboo tube is placed at the 12 o’clock position.
The “Agatsuma Zenitsu Model” has a bright yellow and orange finish that evokes his haori (jacket), and the silver leaf gradation is given a vivid color. The disc mimics the hand guard of his Nichirin Blade, and the hour and minute hands are designed to resemble the Nichirin Blade and its sheath, with Chuntaro designed at the 12 o’clock position.
The “Rengoku Kyojuro Model,” characterized by its blazing flames, has flames painted on the silver leaf with each stroke by skilled craftsmen to express the design of his haori (jacket). Like the other models, the hand guard of his Nichirin Blade, the Nichirin Blade, and its sheath are subtly expressed, and the details are meticulously crafted. A kasugai crow can also be seen at the 12 o’clock position.
