SONNE, the watch brand renowned for its exquisite Japanese craftsmanship, previously teamed up with the mega-popular anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba for a four-piece collection of character-themed mechanical watches, which quickly became a fan favorite.
Now, following up on the second-generation release of seven character mechanical watches, they're dropping three more designs, all featuring the stunning traditional Japanese "Kanazawa foil" craftsmanship for that extra touch of luxury. Pre-orders kick off November 17 on the GARRACK official website.
This latest drop includes designs for Sanemi Shinazugawa, Obanai Iguro, and Gyomei Himejima. These pieces perfectly blend the traditional "Kanazawa foil" artistry with the Taisho-era aesthetic of the Demon Slayer universe. With these additions, alongside the previously released models and follow-up designs, the complete nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps are finally assembled!
Kanazawa foil is a beautiful fusion of tradition and technique, historically used in Japan for items like folding screens and fan paintings. Applied by skilled artisans, it adds a profound depth and luxurious sheen to any product.
All second-generation models are made in Japan and feature an automatic winding movement (MIYOTA 825S), boasting superior aesthetics and performance—a must-have for any Demon Slayer fan to collect and wear.
▼ Sanemi Shinazugawa Model Price: 74,800 JPY
The dial features a white and green silver foil design symbolizing "scars" and "wind," shimmering with a unique luster.
The rotating disk, which completes a revolution every second, is inspired by the "tsuba" (handguard) of Sanemi's beloved Nichirin Blade. The minute hand represents the blade itself, while the hour hand is crafted to evoke the scabbard. Plus, a subtle "Kasugai Crow" motif at the 12 o'clock position adds a special touch to the overall design.
▼ Obanai Iguro Model Price: 74,800 JPY
The dial design takes cues from Obanai Iguro's iconic haori pattern, featuring a black and white striped motif that exudes a subtle yet refined glow. The rotating disk, completing a revolution every second, is inspired by the "tsuba" (handguard) of his Nichirin Blade. The minute hand symbolizes the blade itself, while the hour hand is conceptualized as the scabbard.
The dial also hides clever details: a "Kaburamaru (snake)" motif at 12 o'clock, and design elements at 3 and 9 o'clock that represent Obanai's distinctive heterochromatic eyes, showcasing his unique personality.
▼ Gyomei Himejima Model Price: 77,000 JPY
The dial gleams with a silver foil design inspired by Gyomei Himejima's haori pattern, offering a luxurious yet composed texture. The rotating disk, which completes a revolution every second, incorporates elements from his haori pattern as decoration, showcasing intricate design ingenuity.
The hour and minute hands draw inspiration from the "chains" on his Nichirin Blade; when they overlap and point to the 2 and 10 o'clock positions, the complete Nichirin Blade pattern is revealed. Additionally, a small detail symbolizing the Demon Slayer Corps' communication "Kasugai Crow" is subtly integrated into the 12 o'clock marker, serving as an overall accent.
