Kinhari Nuri Gold Needle Urushi Lacquer
Kinhari Nuri – Masterful craftsmanship meets Swiss precision
Switzerland, September 30, 2025
The Swiss artisan workshop Angular Momentum presents Kinhari Nuri, an exclusive collection that combines the centuries-old Japanese lacquer technique of Urushi with the precision and innovation of Swiss watchmaking and writing instrument manufacturing. These luxurious products – watch cases, dials, and fountain pens – are painstakingly handcrafted and set new standards in craftsmanship and aesthetics.
Kinhari Nuri uses urushi, a natural lacquer that has been prized in Japan for over 1,000 years for its durability and beauty. Production takes place in a specially equipped studio in Switzerland, where the lacquer is applied in several layers to achieve extraordinary color gradients, textures, and depth effects. This technique is not only a craft, but also a sign of precision and patience.
Our philosophy combines the best of two worlds—the deep-rooted tradition of Japanese lacquer art and innovative Swiss craftsmanship. Each piece, whether it is a watch face or the body of a fountain pen, is the result of months of work in which a passion for detail and perfection is brought to life.
Kinhari Nuri products are limited to a very small number of pieces to ensure the exclusivity and uniqueness of each creation. The combination of traditional Japanese art and Swiss craftsmanship makes these pieces true masterpieces that impress not only with their aesthetic beauty but also with their lasting quality.
Kinhari Nuri is not just a product, but a philosophy.
Located in the heart of Switzerland since 1998, Angular Momentum Timepieces combines centuries-old Japanese traditions with modern Swiss craftsmanship. Each product is handmade in limited editions, with the utmost emphasis on quality, attention to detail, and sustainability.
