Worn by former King & Prince member Sho Hirano
[Rolex][Rolex]
"Day Date 40"
"Ref.228398TBR"

A gorgeous and rare model: Rolex Day-Date, Ref. 228398TBR.

This watch features pave diamonds on the dial, 10 baguette-cut diamond indexes, and a gem-set diamond bezel, and its combination with an 18KYG (yellow gold) case and bracelet gives it a luxurious yet elegant look.

I think that ordinary people might be intimidated by this design and feel uncomfortable wearing it, but this is an idol representing Japan. It has become a hot topic along with Hirano's casual clothes, and her unobtrusive style is truly impressive!

Actress Haruna Kawaguchi wears Audemars Piguet
"Royal Oak Automatic"
"Ref.15550BA.OO.1356BA.01"

The second person I would like to introduce is the actress who is also a fashion model. " Haruna Kawaguchi "

Haruna Kawaguchi is active in a variety of fields, including TV dramas, movies, commercials, and fashion magazines, and her personal clothes on her YouTube channel and Instagram are always a hot topic. The models worn by Haruna Kawaguchi, who has an outstanding fashion sense, are

[Audemars Piguet]
"Royal Oak Automatic"
"Ref.15550BA.OO.1356BA.01"

The natural stone "turquoise" makes the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Automatic "Ref. 15550BA.OO.1356BA.01" particularly eye-catching.

This watch, which shows Audemars Piguet's attention to detail, features turquoise as the background color of the calendar disc, and is made of 18KYG (yellow gold) for the case and bracelet, which combines with the turquoise of the dial to create a gorgeous look. The movement is equipped with the Cal. 5900, which was redesigned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak in 2022, and features a 37mm case that is comfortable for Japanese people.

Haruna Kawaguchi's post became a hot topic on social media. I think everyone was captivated by the turquoise paired with a T-shirt! Her watch selection is also amazing!

Worn by Tokyo Yakult Swallows player Munetaka Murakami
[Patek Philippe]
"Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph"
"Ref.5990/1A-001"

The third person I would like to introduce is the first triple crown winner of the Reiwa era, Player: Munetaka Murakami .

Murakami hit 56 home runs in a season, the most by a Japanese player, breaking the record held by baseball legend Oh Sadaharu. Furthermore, at just 22 years old, he also achieved the feat of becoming the first triple crown winner in the Reiwa era, the youngest player in NPB history. To commemorate this achievement, a commemorative monument has been completed at the spot where his 56th home run landed in the final game of last season (near the middle of the right field stands). The model worn by Murakami, who has achieved such a feat, is

[Patek Philippe]
"Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph"
"Ref.5990/1A-001"

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph, Ref. 5990/1A-001, with a stainless steel case, was released as a new model in 2014 .

The "travel time mechanism" installed allows you to distinguish between day and night through the small windows "HOME" at the 3 o'clock position and "LOCAL" at the 9 o'clock position, and you can instantly move forward or backward one hour and set LOCAL TIME (local time) with the up and down push buttons on the 9 o'clock side of the case. Furthermore, since the date display at the 12 o'clock position is also linked, there is no need to adjust the date separately, and the black gradation of the dial gives it a modern and cool impression that has not been seen in previous Nautilus models.

On Murakami's Instagram, he often posts charming photos that give a glimpse into "Murakami's everyday life," but the watch he wears is that of a "dignified veteran athlete." His sense of choice in watches is also impressive. I hope he will break new records this season as well!

Worn by actor Takuya Kimura
[Rolex][Rolex]
"GMT-Master"
"Ref.16753"

The third generation Rolex GMT-Master, Ref. 16753, is equipped with a very sophisticated brown dial.

This watch features the applied indexes seen in early models, commonly known as the "barnacle dial", and is the second model of the GMT Master, produced from around 1980 to around 1988. The movement has been changed from the previous model "Ref.1675/3" to the high-beat "Cal.3075", and the water resistance has been updated from 50m to 100m. In addition, the calendar quick change function has improved operability. The combination of the bezel color "brown gold" and "brown" is commonly known as "root beer", and the unique design allows you to fully enjoy the antique atmosphere, making it a model that remains popular even today.

You can see Kimura wearing a denim set in his recent Instagram posts, but it's well-known that he was inducted into the "Best Jeanist in Life" Hall of Fame in 1998 and was featured as a brand icon for the well-known denim brand "LEVI'S"! The "GMT Master" Ref. 16753 is the perfect pair for Kimura, who wears denim to perfection!

Worn by actor Koji Yakusho
[Grand Seiko]
"Spring Drive Chronograph GMT"
"Ref.SBGC223"

The last person we would like to introduce is the actor who continues to receive high praise both at home and abroad. " Yakusho Koji "

Hiroshi Yakusho has played a wide variety of roles, from ordinary office workers to detectives, gangsters, samurai, and murderers. The model worn by this world-renowned actor is

[Grand Seiko]
"Spring Drive Chronograph GMT"
"Ref.SBGC223"

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive Chronograph GMT Ref. SBGC223 is a sports model that exudes a sense of luxury with its combination of ceramic and bright titanium.

This model makes full use of hybrid materials, and the ceramic case, which is difficult to polish, has a mirror finish on all sides, and the polyhedral form beautifully highlights the edges, giving it a unique look that radiates a deep shine. The second hand, hour and minute hands, GMT hand, and indexes on the black dial are made of Lumibrite, achieving a highly visible design.

Koji Yakusho loves watches and has a collection of about 20 to 30 watches. The first watch he ever owned was a Seiko hand-wound watch, so it's no surprise that he chose this model. Grand Seiko's performance and cutting-edge design make this an attractive model that even a watch enthusiast like Koji Yakusho would love!
