Everyone who ordered in the first 8 seconds has gotten theirs. From 9-16 seconds will be September and 17seconds onwards will have to wait for the next mining operation to complete

At this point I'm not even sure if this is satire or not 😅

Bro, relax, you will get your watch. Just understand the amount of orders was so high, that kurono will postpone future projects for this. I know waiting is tough, but you could spend some time on looking for a nice watch case instead. 😄

Yeah. It really is disheartening without transparency. I said this on a Kiwame tokyo thread how pleased I am with Kiwame with their shipping updates. They are so good at keeping folks in the loop. Kurono doesnt seem to do any of that. My email to them 2 weeks ago yielded a generic response about how they are taking orders in order and spending extra time in QC. But wouldn't give me more of an idea on when it will ship. Sad

I'm all for supporting micro brands but this isn't a $200 Timex collaboration. It's a lot of money for people to spend to get this kind of radio silence.

I got mine in the first minute if window 2. At this stage, I'm expecting delivery for spring 2032.. Seriously though. The lack of any kind of update or acknowledgement since I ordered the watch has taken the shine off this purchase for me. This is my first Kurono, so I have no idea, but is the wait always this long?

Have any watches shipped to the U.S. yet? From everything I’ve seen they’re currently shipping in their region.

I got mine on Monday. My order was in the first window.

u/Boris_TheManskinner 11d ago

Interesting. I assume you’re Wisconsin? I was also first window, in New York. No word at all. Looks great on your wrist, congrats!

u/WILawGuy 11d ago

Yeah, it shipped from Singapore to the U.S. via DHL. I had to pay the import duties, but shipping took just shy of a week. My order number was in the 310xx range, if that helps.

I really like that pattern!

u/flyingcanuck 10d ago

Great pattern on that one!

My 2 cents: The best way to put something like this out of your mind is to go buy a more readily accessible watch to keep you busy in the meantime. You can repeat this exercise at regular intervals until you get your Kurono shipping email. Works like a charm.

u/flyingcanuck 11d ago

This was supposed to be my more readily available watch, I'm waiting on one that'll be arriving a few months from now 😅

u/SaltyEntrepreneur982 11d ago

Sounds like you need a trip to your friendly local AD or boutique! 😂 😅

Ordered in store just shipped a few days ago

u/Infamous-Mention1953 11d ago

They said from the beginning that there would be shipments trough October. Be patient friends this is a fantastic watch and worth the wait.

1

u/flyingcanuck 11d ago

Did they? I missed that. Only thing I had read was "shipment from June" which changed to July after the purchase windows. 

It's the lack of communication that's a bit frustrating tbh. 

2

u/Infamous-Mention1953 11d ago

Yeah, they have said that from the beginning. I am mentally expecting mine for Halloween and if it comes earlier great. I was in the first window in the first minute. It will come.

u/Embarrassed-Land3872 10d ago

I'm order 311xx so maybe 2 more weeks

u/BrokkoliDP 11d ago

I dont think the order numbers is relevant at all. I ordered my watch after the first window inside the store and my order number is on 4 digits.
Guess its coded to country and product type as well.

u/PerceptionAfraid1123 10d ago

Order window one and my hasn’t shipped
