Ideas Worth Finishing.
The Internal Bezel, Reconsidered.
In the 1960s, watchmakers experimented with single-crown internal bezel systems.
The idea was elegant: simplify the interface, reduce visual noise, improve reliability. But the machining tolerances of the era couldn't deliver the precision required.
The idea was sound but it was never completed.
Kintao exists to finish it.
Introducing Chapter 1.
Our Chapter 1 watch integrates winding, timing, time setting, and date correction into a single, controlled interface.
The interaction is deliberate, tactile, and stable in daily use.
Designed to sit low on the wrist, stay out of your way, and become easier to live with over time.
What It Feels Like.
The bezel clicks with purpose.
120 positions, evenly resisted. You set it once. It stays where you leave it.
The crown feels certain.
Each position is distinct. No overlap. No hesitation. You never have to think about what comes next.
The case feels settled.
Downward-curved lugs follow the wrist. After the first wear, it fades from attention.
A Different Kind of Ease.
