Introducing the Konpeki

Available in the U.S. for the First Time

Konpeki is the first watch from microbrand Parris daCosta Hayashima (PdCH). The brand is based in Japan but their watches are made in Fleurier, Switzerland. Konpeki—which means deep blue in Japanese—was inspired by the traditional kasuri ink dye derived from lapis lazuli. The PdCH team worked closely with movement specialists Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, and dial maker Quadrance et Habillage to develop the Konpeki, pairing it with a Japanese artisan made strap and presentation box. 

PdCH was founded by Richard Parris, Thomas daCosta and Satoshi Hayashima, who share a love of watches and a philosophy of enjoying every step in the watchmaking process. They are currently developing their second watch, slated for release in 2023, and their authorized retailers are only located in Japan and the Middle East. Rago/Wright is honored to be the first venue in the United States to present this watch to the marketplace.
