About Kuoe Kyoto
Kuoe (pronounced "ku-o-e") was established in Kyoto, Japan in 2020 by founder Kenji Uchimura, whose passion for vintage watches took root in a small London shop around 2010. The brand's mission is to channel the timeless aesthetic of historic Kyoto into small, classically proportioned timepieces. Its signature line is the Old Smith 90-001 — a deliberately petite 35mm dress watch with a domed crystal, small-seconds sub-dial and ivory/silver dials evoking mid-century elegance, in both automatic and quartz.
Kuoe stands out for embracing genuinely small case sizes (35–37mm) when most brands chase larger watches, making it a darling of vintage-leaning and smaller-wristed collectors. Watches are Japan-made using dependable Japanese movements — Seiko/TMI automatics plus a TMI VD78A quartz — housed in 316L stainless cases with exclusive packaging and a one-year warranty, at affordable prices.
