Itakura Ko is the key player in Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense.

He runs around the field with agility that is hard to believe for someone 186cm tall, and his height makes him outstanding on both offense and defense. He is often used as a center back, but he is a versatile player who can also play in defensive positions such as defensive midfielder.

The Sky-Dweller is an elegant model made for people who travel the world . It is the first semi- complication model from Rolex to feature an annual calendar that can display two time zones at the same time, and is the only Rolex to feature a complicated mechanism. The hour, minute, and second hands display local time, and the subdial displays home time. This excellent model allows you to check each month through a small window on the outside of the index, and you can instantly grasp the month, date, and time. It is equipped with the Cal.9001, a fully in-house movement that is the first since the Yacht-Master II, and boasts a power reserve of 72 hours. The combination of the 18KYG (yellow gold) on the fluted bezel, center link, and crown and the black dial perfectly creates a luxurious yet stylish look.

Julian Weigl is a player with outstanding game-making skills.

As a defensive midfielder, he is an indispensable player for the team, able to play well with accurate passes. It is no exaggeration to say that "Borussia MG's attack starts with Weigl!"

The Nautilus is known as the ultimate luxury sports watch. It features a rounded octagonal bezel, a case inspired by ship's portholes, and a horizontally embossed dial, all designed by the genius designer Gerald Genta. Although it has a simple three-hand design, the combination of the brown-black gradient dial and rose gold case gives it a noble impression.

Equipped with the "Cal.324 SC", it maintains more stable accuracy, and the beautiful movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal back. It is a popular model that we regularly carry in our store, and it always sells out quickly!

Ramy Bensebaini is a technically skilled full-back.

As an ultra-attacking fullback, he has skill with his feet that is hard to believe for a defender. He not only creates chances with his precise passes and crossings, but also boldly aims for goal with powerful shots if he gets the chance, making him a difficult player for opponents to deal with.

The watch worn by Bensebaini is

[Audemars Piguet]
"Royal Oak Automatic"
"Ref. 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01"

The "Royal Oak" is a simple yet beautiful model that represents Audemars Piguet. Like the "Nautilus" mentioned above, it was designed by the genius designer "Gerald Genta" in the watch industry, and is a historic model that overturned the design codes of watches up to that point and became an icon of contemporary watches. This watch features a boutique-exclusive blue dial with a "Grande Tapisserie" pattern, applied hour markers in white gold with luminous treatment, and Royal Oak hands. The "AUTOMATIC" marking at 6 o'clock on the dial has been removed, giving it a cleaner impression. The case thickness is 0.6 mm thicker than the previous model, at 10.4 mm.
