summary
We decided to take a look at Capek, a brand that has recently been receiving many inquiries about our store.
Compared to other brands, I think it was a very powerful lineup. It was also one of the brands that made a good impression at the new product announcement at "Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022" in 2022. In particular, many people were delighted that a 38.5mm case diameter was added to the popular "Antarctic".
If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy if you could let me know!
see you!
