"Classic Fusion Black Magic"
"Ref.511.CM.1171.RX"

The jet black all-black Hublot Classic Fusion Black Magic Ref.511.CM.1171.RX.

The Black Magic model is a fusion of the "Fusion" and "Classic" series, which are based on the theme of combining different materials. This watch is full of luxury, with a matte black dial with three hands and a date display, a black ceramic case and bezel, and a black rubber strap, all in black, combining various materials.

Kohei Uchimura, who sadly retired this year and was appointed as the training coach for the Japan Gymnastics Association, is a perfect choice for Kohei Uchimura, who will continue to play an active role as a coach in the future, as this watch will be perfect for his well-trained wrists both on and off the court!

"Marine II"
"Ref.5817ST/12/SM0"

Breguet's Marine II Ref. 5817ST/12/SM0 is a watch that shines with tradition and craftsmanship.

The Marine was inspired by the great legacy built by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the manufacturer of marine chronometers (precise watches for navigation) for the French Navy. The decorations, such as the guilloche engraving that evokes the sea and the rotor that evokes waves, are hand-crafted one by one by artisans, resulting in a design that is characteristic of the Marine down to the last detail. As a representative luxury sports watch, it is an all-purpose model that is elegant and tough enough to withstand everyday use, making it suitable for both work and play.

This is a perfect watch that embodies the genius jockey Yutaka Take, who can control any racehorse, and allows you to enjoy the essence of the Marine. At the same time, I think this is a choice that makes you feel like you are one of the most unrivaled watch enthusiasts!

The Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph "Ref. 5970R-001" boasts overwhelming beauty.

The three subdials and the phases are perfectly balanced, and every detail is perfectly harmonized. This watch is equipped with the Nouvelle Lemania movement "Cal. CH27-70Q", the final Grand Complication watch. This popular Grand Complication watch has a chronograph function and a perpetual calendar function. It is a model that has received overwhelming support.

It is no exaggeration to say that this watch is the ultimate in terms of value, collectibility, presence, and functionality! It is truly a watch worthy of Beat Takeshi.

Piaget Polo 45 Chronograph
"Ref.GOA34002"

Piaget was chosen for the special occasion of the People's Honor Award Ceremony.
"Piaget Polo 45 Chronograph" "Ref.GOA34002".

Piaget is a watch and jewelry maison that prides itself on its craftsmanship and bold design. This watch is equipped with the Cal. 880P, which is equipped with a flyback function chronograph that instantly returns the chronograph hand to zero and remeasures it. The beautiful curves of the slim case, which is only 5.6 mm thick, while also featuring a second time zone display, large date display, and small seconds, make it an elegant sports watch that is unique to Piaget, a jeweler.

Nagashima was awarded the People's Honor Award in 2013. At the opening ceremony that followed, Matsui, who was also the recipient of the award twice, was the pitcher, wearing a uniform with the number 3 on it, gripped the bat tightly in one hand, and took a full swing. It goes without saying that the sight moved many fans. This is the choice of Nagashima, a legend. I want it! (lol)
