About HANOISON
Made for the Owner
HANOISON is a made-to-order watch atelier focused on engraved dials, handmade straps, and personal details that make each piece feel intentionally built for its owner. The result is not mass production. It is a scheduled, traceable piece made with visible human work behind it.
HAND-ENGRAVED DIALS
sterling silver & copper
Our dials are engraved by hand on copper or 925 sterling silver.
Sterling silver is softer and more sensitive than copper, requiring careful control of pressure and movement. A small change in the engraver’s hand can affect the depth and sharpness of each line.
After engraving, the dial is finished in rhodium or 18K gold. Selected details may also be highlighted with 24K gold to create a subtle contrast between warm gold and cool silver.
Leather strap
ALLIGATOR LEATHER
HANOISON straps are made from genuine alligator leather. We select the belly section for its fine, balanced scales and naturally soft texture.
Each strap is sewn by hand using the traditional saddle-stitch technique. Over time, contact with light, warmth and the wrist gradually deepens the leather’s color, giving every strap its own character.
