The story of Kuoe is familiar to many microbrands. Kenji Uchimura was studying language at university in London and while in the city entered one of the many antique watch shops in the area. He instantly fell in love with classic watch design, especially from the early and mid-20th century. Upon returning to Kyoto in Japan he began working for a watch brand before taking the plunge in 2020 of creating his own brand that focusses on the style of design he first fell in love with in London.
