Known for its refined Japanese craftsmanship, watch brand SONNE previously teamed up with the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba through its mechanical watch line, S-MEISTER. The collaboration introduced mechanical watches inspired by the nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, earning a warm reception from fans.
The collection is now expanding with an upgraded Tengen Uzui Model II and three new designs inspired by Hantengu, Gyokko, and Daki and Gyutaro. All four watches are accented with traditional Japanese Kanazawa leaf for an unmistakably premium finish. Preorders open November 19, followed by the official release on November 27.
The four additions pair traditional Kanazawa leaf craftsmanship with the Taisho-era world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, while weaving each character’s signature traits into the design.
Kanazawa leaf is a premium Japanese metal-leaf craft shaped by Kanazawa’s long history and climate, which is particularly well suited to gold-leaf production. Metal is repeatedly hammered and stretched to an ultra-thin thickness of approximately 0.1 micrometers before being colored by hand. As a result, every piece has its own subtle variations and unique character.
Kanazawa leaf has long been used in Japan to decorate folding screens, painted fans, and other traditional objects. Each sheet is applied by a skilled artisan, giving the finished product a rich, luxurious sheen.
The new lineup includes a redesigned Tengen Uzui Model II, along with watches inspired by Hantengu of Upper Rank Four, Gyokko of Upper Rank Five, and Daki and Gyutaro of Upper Rank Six.
▼ Tengen Uzui Model II — Price: ¥77,000
The 12 o’clock marker features a Muscle Mice emblem, while the disc that rotates once per second takes its design cues from a Nichirin Sword handguard. The hour and minute hands recreate the shape of Tengen’s Nichirin Swords, and Kanazawa gold leaf on the dial forms the markings seen on his face.
▼ Hantengu Model — Price: ¥77,000
The 12 o’clock marker is shaped after the eye of Upper Rank Four. At 2, 4, 8, and 10 o’clock are emblems representing joy, pleasure, anger, and sorrow—the emotions embodied by Hantengu’s four clones, Urogi, Karaku, Sekido, and Aizetsu.
The rotating seconds disc and the hour and minute hands are inspired by Zohakuten, the form created when Sekido absorbs the other clones. Silver leaf on the dial recreates the pattern of Hantengu’s kimono.
▼ Gyokko Model — Price: ¥74,800
The markers at 12 and 6 o’clock are inspired by the eyes of Gyokko, Upper Rank Five. Mouth-shaped details appear at 3 and 9 o’clock, while the remaining markers incorporate hand motifs. The disc that rotates once per second takes the shape of one of Gyokko’s pots.
The hour and minute hands are modeled after Gyokko’s arms, while silver leaf across the dial recreates the pattern on his pot-like body.
▼ Daki and Gyutaro Model — Price: ¥74,800
The 12 and 6 o’clock markers are inspired by the eyes denoting Daki and Gyutaro’s shared position as Upper Rank Six, while Gyutaro’s sickles appear at 3 and 9 o’clock. The rotating seconds disc features a design based on Daki’s facial markings.
The hour and minute hands take their cues from Daki’s obi. Silver leaf on the dial completes a color scheme inspired by Daki and Gyutaro’s hair.
