A guide for this piece: about $581, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

A Kurono Tokyo Classic, reference CT003Q, in stainless steel with a deep grey sunray dial, one of a limited edition of 100 made with TiCTAC and designed by Hajime Asaoka, with its box and warranty card dated February 2021.
The Piece
Kurono Tokyo is the watch brand led by the independent watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, whose designs pair classical detailing with modern, everyday practicality.
The CT003Q is a limited edition of 100 pieces made with TiCTAC, and was first released at the end of 2019. A box-shaped sapphire crystal sits over a dial in near-black grey with a steel-grey outer ring and a sunray finish that shifts with the light, in a compact case recalling a watch of the 1950s.
The case is 37 mm (1.46 in) across, with an automatic movement holding 42 hours of power reserve and 3 atmospheres (30 m) of water resistance. It is on a black leather strap with a pin buckle, and comes with its box and a paper warranty card dated February 2021.
