A clock is not a continuous series of moments, as a digital clock marks, but is related to daily activities that distinguish between morning and afternoon, with 12 o'clock (noon) being the culmination of the day. Accustomed to thinking in meters, working with millimeters and tenths of a millimeter was a disciplined task, where the texture of the material was always felt on the wrist.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout CAUNY\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Switzerland in 1927 by the three siblings of the Grebler family, Polish immigrants, CAUNY is a watch brand that originated in Switzerland.\u003cbr\u003eCombining elegant and innovative design with Swiss quality, it was loved worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003eWhile inheriting the manufacturing spirit of combining affordable prices with high quality, CAUNY has continued to create watches that fuse tradition and innovation for nearly 100 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"item_cap\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"item_txt\"\u003eCase: Stainless steel 316L\u003cbr\u003eWindshield: Sapphire glass\u003cbr\u003eStrap: Stainless steel 316L\u003cbr\u003eStrap width: 18mm\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eWater resistance: 3ATM\u003cbr\u003eSize: Diameter 30mm (including crown: 33mm) \/ Thickness 6mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist circumference: Approx. 14-19.5cm\u003cbr\u003eOfficial warranty: 2 years\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Official warranty card\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAUNY (カウニー)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51454462263616,"sku":"cmn003","price":34650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8502\/5600\/files\/cmn003_01.jpg?v=1768806501","url":"https:\/\/www.tokyo-watchstyle.jp\/en\/products\/cmn003","provider":"東京ウォッチスタイル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
