A Week in Watches Ep. 28: QR Code & Urushi Lacquer Dials

This week we’re looking at some shocking news from the Metaverse and H. Moser, and their latest Endeavour Centre Seconds called the Genesis. It’s part QR code, part haute horology, and entirely meta. We’ve also got news from Kurono about a new boutique in Tokyo, and three new watches to celebrate. Each features beautiful handmade urushi lacquer dials. Finally, we’ll take a brief look at some auction results that raised money for the Swiss Institute, and inspired some pretty spectacular one-off pieces.
