Balmuda remains in the red, but says "profit and loss at each stage are improving"; 60,000-yen "The Clock" tops 1,000 preorders

Balmuda reported lower revenue and continued losses for January–March 2026, hit by weak consumer sentiment in Japan.

The company said losses improved at every stage, even as it remained in the red for the quarter.

Overseas sales grew, helping offset a soft domestic market.

Preorders for the new 60,000-yen The Clock topped 1,000 units, signaling demand for Balmuda’s premium products.
