On April 15, 2026, LUNERA, a service by Hamada Factory, will commence the first domestic sales in Japan of the new model 'Free-sprung Balance Manta Tourbillon Watch' from the luxury mechanical watch brand 'AGELOCER' on the crowdfunding service Makuake. This product is a mechanical watch equipped with a highly advanced mechanism combining a free-sprung balance and a tourbillon, developed under the philosophy of deriving design from structure. The response to 'Why this shape?' is 'structure.' In recent years, tourbillon-equipped models have been increasing, but many are treated merely as 'mechanisms for display.' Originally, the tourbillon was created to counteract errors due to gravity, but its 'meaning' and 'role' are not fully communicated. This project aims to redefine the tourbillon not as decoration, but as a structural value.
