AT-38

A high-performance mechanical watch,
instilled with Japanese spirit and craftsmanship.

Japanese watchmaking techniques are gradually becoming a lost art. Manufacturing locations are being shifted to cheaper locations overseas, and there are now hardly any cases where the inscription “Made in Japan” can be seen on affordably priced mechanical watches sold in the country. Domestically produced mechanical timepieces are now limited to only a select few highly priced models.
Japan is renowned for its mechanical watches, yet very few people who would love to wear them are currently buying them. Is this an acceptable state of affairs for the Japanese watch industry? As the market decreases, the traditional watchmaking techniques also become increasingly difficult to pass on to the next generation.
Knot’s flagship model, the AT-38, was born out of that sense of crisis for the industry, and out of our desire to communicate the charm and appeal of mechanical watches to an audience that had abandoned them.
Made in Japan, the watch features high-beat movement with high precision. Its case is the product of advanced metalworking techniques used in the country’s finest mechanical watches. The watch face is also manufactured in Japan, in an age where almost all domestic dial production has ceased. Knot has combined all of the Japanese watchmaking techniques that were gradually fading away, creating a high-precision mechanical watch and offering it at an accessible price. The AT-38 is the culmination of the passion of Japanese watchmakers: an authentic, affordably priced, Japanese-made mechanical watch.
