In a world increasingly defined by speed and convenience, true craftsmanship has become a rare luxury. Enter Kinhari Nuri, Angular Momentum’s latest collection, where the centuries-old Japanese lacquer technique of Urushi meets the meticulous precision of Swiss watchmaking and fine writing instrument design. The result is a collection that is as much a celebration of artistry as it is a statement of timeless elegance.


The magic of Kinhari Nuri begins with Urushi, a natural lacquer treasured in Japan for over a thousand years. Traditionally used in the creation of ceremonial objects and fine art, Urushi is renowned for its durability, depth, and luminous quality. In Switzerland, within a dedicated atelier, this lacquer is applied in multiple painstaking layers, each building upon the last to create mesmerising textures, colour gradients, and subtle depth effects. The technique demands patience, steady hands, and an intimate understanding of materials' qualities that mirror the precision and innovation of Swiss craftsmanship.


Each piece in the Kinhari Nuri collection, whether a watch dial, case, or fountain pen, is the result of months of dedicated work. The process is a dialogue between two worlds: the rich, tactile tradition of Japanese lacquer art and the exacting technical standards of Swiss manufacturing. The result is more than a product; it is a work of art, a piece that reflects the philosophy of those who create it. Every curve, finish, and detail is an expression of patience, precision, and passion.

Exclusivity is at the heart of Kinhari Nuri. Each item is produced in extremely limited editions, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. This rare combination of beauty, technical mastery, and scarcity elevates Kinhari Nuri beyond mere luxury; each creation becomes a statement, a collector’s piece, and a potential heirloom.


What sets Kinhari Nuri apart is not only its aesthetic appeal but also its commitment to enduring quality. Each piece carries the weight of centuries of tradition while embracing modern design sensibilities, ensuring it remains timeless in both style and function. It is this harmony of old and new, East and West, craft and innovation that defines the collection’s singular allure.
