From Manila to Tokyo

And Back Again

Francisco "Nico" Moreno is a Manila-born watchmaker and designer based in Tokyo. He is the founder of Ibarra —the first Filipino watch brand to design and assemble its timepieces locally — and of Moreno Watch Studio, his independent atelier in Tokyo, Japan.

Nico will be visiting Manila this June, and is hosting an afternoon to sit down with fellow collectors, enthusiasts, and friends of the craft. This is not a launch or a sales event — simply a gathering of people who love watches, and the chance to share a few pieces in person.

You are warmly invited to join him.

Coffee and merienda are on us — our thanks for spending the afternoon with us.

Through Habit is a plant-based cafe and store on Aurora Boulevard in New Manila — known for its warm, intimate interior and exceptional coffee. For this afternoon, the space is ours alone.
