Limited edition of 25 pieces, created with Gotham Watch Club, New York City. Pre-order — the edition closes once all 25 pieces are ordered; shipping to start Holiday 2026.
The GWC × MINASE J3 joins two worlds: the quiet, hand-finished craft of MINASE’s MASTER CRAFT J3 and the spirit of Gotham Watch Club, New York City’s collector community. The J3’s Sallaz-polished 37.4 mm case — distortion-free mirror surfaces and razor-sharp edges, finished by master artisans in Shinjō, Japan — frames an exclusive Flame Orange Sand Dial: a finely grained texture that shifts from ember to amber as the light moves across it. Sharp-cut applied hour markers and the hands carry blue luminous material, a cool glow rising out of the flame orange ground after dark.
The case back tells the rest of the story: engraved with the Gotham Watch Club trefoil insignia, GOTHAM WATCH CLUB · NEW YORK CITY, and MASTER CRAFT / SERIES J3. The watch arrives on a Strapestry 18 mm gray Alcantara strap with flame orange stitching, fitted on quick-release spring bars. Only 25 pieces will ever be made.
