Rediscovered Ideas, Designed For Today

One Crown. Four Functions. A New Standard.

The Kintao Story

Kin is about our roots—the forgotten watchmaking ideas and techniques that inspire us. Tao is our path forward—where heritage meets innovation in a single, refined silhouette. Kintao stands at that crossroads, blending memory and possibility to create something truly new.

Why we started

We believe the past holds hidden treasures. By rediscovering and refining overlooked watchmaking ideas, we invite curiosity and breathe fresh life into the craft—reminding ourselves that sometimes, the best way forward is to revisit what once was left behind.

What we do

We revive lost or underappreciated watchmaking features with modern clarity and precision. Each design strikes a quiet balance between tradition and innovation, elegance and utility—honoring the artistry of heritage while shaping a new path ahead.

Introducing Kintao Unify

Explore the System

Single-Crown Operation

A single crown seamlessly controls movement winding, bezel rotation, and time and date adjustments—removing complexity to achieve elegant simplicity. This streamlined system embodies Kintao’s refined minimalism, allowing intuitive operation without sacrificing versatility or precision. Adjustments are effortless and intuitive—ensuring that functionality never detracts from aesthetics.

120-Click Internal Bezel

Our internal bezel delivers precise, tactile, 120-click rotation, offering accurate timing and complete control. Hidden beneath the crystal, the bezel moves smoothly and securely without friction drift, protecting your settings from accidental movement. It’s a subtle innovation that enhances usability while preserving the watch’s sleek exterior.

Asymmetrical 11mm Profile

Designed with purpose, the subtly asymmetrical shape of our case comfortably follows the wrist’s natural contours. The thoughtful design provides ergonomic comfort while offering robust protection to the crown. It exemplifies Kintao’s philosophy of form following function—creating harmony between aesthetic refinement and practical utility.

Refined Aesthetics

The Kintao Unify features subtle chamfers and balanced proportions, thoughtfully crafted to create visual harmony from every angle. Delicate, angled edges catch light gently, enhancing depth and sophistication without overpowering the minimalistic form. The result is an elegant timepiece where meticulous attention to detail ensures timeless appeal.
