An Engraved Model Representing a New Realm by Engraver Kiyoshi Terui

About CREDOR
CREDOR is a Japanese luxury dress watch brand that emerged in 1974 with a collection of specially selected wristwatches crafted from precious metals.

CREDOR Goldfeder
Reviving a lineage of thin mechanical watches by Seiko, the CREDOR Goldfeder is a modern high-end thin mechanical watch. With a design concept centered around being "thin" like a feather, it encompasses qualities such as lightness, airiness, glossiness, and elegance. Updated with specifications and designs befitting a contemporary dress watch, the Goldfeder carries forward a heritage that spans over 60 years.
Product Features
This exceptional engraved model represents a new realm achieved by Kiyoshi Terui, a master engraver renowned for his exquisite craftsmanship. At the heart of this timepiece is a four-layered engraved dial.
Kiyoshi Terui, CREDOR's foremost engraver, has showcased his artisanal skills by intricately connecting the four-layered dial to the movement on the back, telling a captivating story. The design theme, "Panta rhei," meaning "everything flows," symbolizes the concept that all existence changes continuously with the passage of time, much like the ceaseless flow of water.
Since its establishment in 1974, CREDOR has relentlessly pursued "ultimate beauty," crafting unique and unrivaled timepieces. This year, in celebration of its 50th anniversary, the design of this model represents CREDOR's aspiration to embark on new endeavors, much like the flowing water.
The dial serves as a testament to CREDOR's "new departure" as it takes a significant step forward on its 50th anniversary. The rippling effect of a droplet hitting the water's surface is flawlessly expressed through the four-layered engraved dial. Terui's exceptional skills enable the creation of a continuous pattern when the dial layers are superimposed.
Among Terui's extensive portfolio, this model showcases the most intricate engraving work. The base incorporates delicate patterns like the "nanako" (tiny continuous circles) and "rikkokuarashi" (hexagonal roughening using a chisel), portraying the ceaseless flow of water through "fukibori" (creating a thick line from two engraved lines) and mirror-polished engravings that radiate a dazzling brilliance from every angle.
Furthermore, Terui himself has meticulously set 24 diamonds at 30-minute intervals, which sparkle like sunlight reflecting on the water's surface, serving as hour markers.
The engraving on the movement visible from the back signifies CREDOR's "future development." The flow that originates from a single droplet is depicted through wave and water splash-like engravings, evolving into a mighty river. At the 5 o'clock position, the "feather" emblem of Goldfeder is engraved, while the 9 o'clock position features the "T mark," symbolizing Terui's involvement in all engravings for this model.
