Kiwame Tokyo is rebranded Karl Leimon?
Hey all, I'm sure many of you have heard of Kiwame Tokyo, they're sorta becoming a new microbrand darling. I heard a rumor that they were just rebranded Karl Leimon watches, so I did some digging. I looked up the website registrant info, and this is what I found for Kiwame (pic 1).
I figured K and L was Karl and Leimon, but I had to verify, and found this (pic 4)
I couldn't find this connection acknowledged anywhere on the Kiwame website. Their first design was very similair to a KL design (pic 2 and 3)
Not 1:1 but still... Anyone have some thoughts on this?
P.S. Sorry, couldn't get the photos to upload in the correct order. I hope the post still makes sense!
