Demon Slayer's four new mechanical watches revealed with rotating demon motifs and handcrafted dials

The demons of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba have found their way onto four Japanese mechanical watches, and some of the more unsettling details are hiding in plain sight. Eyes, mouths, sickles and rotating discs take the place of conventional dial decorations, while traditional Kanazawa foil gives each design its distinctive finish.

Following its initial announcement earlier this month, Garrack has now revealed the complete collection, including a redesigned Tengen Uzui watch and models dedicated to Hantengu, Gyokko and the demon siblings Daki and Gyutaro.

Four characters, and some rather peculiar ways of telling time

Tengen Uzui's revised 41 mm model features his muscular mouse companion at 12 o'clock, sword-inspired hands and a rotating disc modelled on a Nichirin sword guard. His facial markings are reproduced using gold-coloured Kanazawa foil.

Hantengu's 42 mm watch is rather more ominous. An Upper Rank Four eye occupies the 12 o'clock position, with four Japanese characters representing his emotion-based manifestations arranged around the dial. The hands and rotating disc reference Zohakuten, while silver foil recreates the pattern of Hantengu's clothing.

Gyokko's design makes no attempt to disguise the character's more grotesque features, incorporating eyes, mouths and hands as hour markers. Its rotating disc resembles a pot, with silver foil used to reproduce the vessel's decorative pattern.

The Daki and Gyutaro version brings both siblings together through sickle-shaped markers, obi-inspired hands and a rotating disc based on Daki's facial markings. Silver foil reflects the colours of their hair.

Beneath the demonic decoration, however, these are conventional mechanical timepieces. All four watches use Japanese Miyota automatic movements and offer 5 ATM water resistance. Each model also features a character-inspired disc that rotates once per second. Their dials are individually finished by artisans using Kanazawa foil, a traditional technique involving metal beaten into sheets approximately 0.1 micrometres thick.

The Gyokko and Daki & Gyutaro models cost ¥74,800 each, while Tengen Uzui and Hantengu are priced at ¥77,000. Garrack will open Japanese preorders on 19 November, ahead of the scheduled 27 November release.
