THE FIRST ASIAN EROTIC WATCH

The UNDONE Nippon Erotica: Shunga Collection is a reinterpretation of the erotic watch aesthetic that was indicative of the high-society in the 17th century. After so many years, it is still sought after in this present day and age. Without showing more than their upper bodies, the front of the Shunga: Edo leaves enough to your imagination.

Turn the piece around and you will be met with the “practical” part of the watch, the full scene of a pair engaging in coitus with a glimpse of the movement behind the patterned glass caseback.

The dial is finished with "當世風俗通" (the Ukiyo custom of pleasure-seeking) just below 12 o’clock and "" (Shunga) meaning the picture of spring, a euphemism of sex, on chronograph counter located at 9:00. Sporting a more vintage and aged theme, the watch features a beige strap, which complements the aesthetics of the dial.UNDONE Shunga: Edo is limited to only 300 pieces, with each uniquely serialized.

THE BIG REVEAL

Turn the watch around and you’ll see on the caseback, in its full display, the complete picture of the couple engaged in coitus. This was a staple hook-up tool in high-class society, where men would showcase the watch to a woman they had their eye on to reveal his intentions and fantasies for the night.

THE CUSTOM OF PLEASURE-SEEKING

On the dial are five Kanji – "當世風俗通". It’s a term used in the Edo period (1600-1867) to describe the urban lifestyle and culture, and especially in the aspect of seeking pleasure.
