[Hand Painted] The Great Wave off Kanagawa Dial (Date)

LIMITED EDITION OF 36 PIECES. A unique serial number for each piece.

About Our Limited Edition Dials

The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏, Kanagawa-oki nami ura) is an iconic woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎), circa 1829 to 1833 in the late Edo period. To date, this remains as Hokusai's most famous piece of work and has been one of the most recognisable works of Japanese Art in the world.

Given the rich history and origin of Hokusai and SEIKO, this is a perfectly paired appreciation of art and horology.

This artwork is painstakingly hand painted by an experience 70 years old artist in micro-painting. Each artwork requires 3 to 4 days to micro hand paint onto a dial. Serial numbers are labelled at 6 o'clock position (For aesthetic reason, we will reduce the serial number font size as seen here and may potentially change the serial number to printed instead of hand painted). Thereafter, dials are coated with enamel for a highly glossy finish. Lastly, beveled mirror polished silver hour indices are applied. An opulent process and finishing for a legendary artwork on a wrist.

***Note: This artwork on the dial is micro-painted by hand. Therefore, each artwork on the dial will defer to a certain degree in terms of colour and contour. Expect some differences. No two pieces will look exactly the same.

Great Wave Off Kanagawa (Hand Painted)

When I first received this dial, I was blown away by the quality of it.
I initially wanted to install it on another watch, however after seeing the dial in person, I decided it should grace a different watch.
After a few back and forths with Adriel, (Who was extremely friendly and helpful by the way, thank you Adriel!) I decided on the SARY057.
Am very satisfied and happy with this watch, and it will definitely see a lot of wrist time!!

This dial face is very nice. Nicer than I expected, to be honest. The fit was perfect. I had a couple of questions about installation, and they answered the questions completely. So, the Dial was very nice, and the support from Lucius Atelier was very nice also. As you can see, I also got a handset, and a polished chapter ring from Lucius Atelier. All items were outstanding.

The Dial is cracked by 10 marker

When I look at the dial under the light it has a 5mm crack by 10 marker. Not very happy at all since I've paid almost $150 for it!!

I like this watch so much so how I can get it I am Tanzanian and how much money

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hello Joseph!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts.

Unfortunately, this dial is completely sold out many months ago.

On the bright side, the luminous version is available. Do check it out: https://luciusatelier.com/collections/watch-dials-with-bgw9-lume-swiss-quality-seiko-mod-parts

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Cheers,

Amazing dial! Will something like this pop up again sometime in the future? :) also do you provide services of modding the watches and shipping the entire thing?

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hello Nathan!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts and your kind words =)

Perhaps. It is hard to say. Even if it does, the exact copy will never be reproduced. It will look and feel entirely different. This is to ensure that limited edition products stay limited edition.

Yes, we do provide fully modded timepieces with our own parts.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Cheers,
Adriel

I want one. Can you do a complete watch for me?

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hello Alex,

Thank you for expressing your interest in our mod parts.

Yes, of course. Perhaps you have an idea of a Seiko base watch in mind? E.g. SNKL15, SNKK87, SKX007, SNZH55, etc...

Cheers,
Adriel

Darak

Does this fit on the 5M63 movement?

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hi Darak,

To be honest, we are not familiar with kinetic. This dial is designed to fit seiko mechanical movements such as 7S26, 7S36, 4R15, 4R35, 6R15, NE15, NH25, NH26, NH35, NH36.

Sorry, we can't be of much help.

Cheers,
Adriel
