Moved to Maserati Yokohama Kohoku near Kohoku IC and opened a new store

About 3 minutes by car from the Kohoku IC on the 3rd Keihin/Metropolitan Expressway Yokohama Kita Line and Northwest Line, which is easy to access, Maserati Yokohama Kohoku, a new base for Maserati in Kanagawa Prefecture, has opened. Maserati Yokohama, which had been operating near Tsuzuki Fureainooka Station on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Green Line, was relocated to Maserati Yokohama Kohoku near the Kohoku IC and opened a new store.

Maserati Yokohama Kohoku boasts one of the largest showrooms in Japan at 424.80 square meters and one of the largest land areas for the brand in Japan. It was completed as a space where you can fully experience the charm of the Maserati brand.

The showroom is a new global concept store that innovatively represents Maserati’s Italian luxury and craftsmanship. A space that combines sophisticated sartoria (meaning tailor) and officina, which means workshop, is set up, and a special space is prepared where you can create the ultimate Maserati. There is also a show window to promote the vehicles on display outdoors, which have become familiar.

The interior of the store is illuminated by soft light, and the wall display displays handcrafted leather samples and goods. In the private consultation room, you can combine the state-of-the-art MXE 3D digital configurator with the Forisserie program to create your own ideal one.

The workshop is also a large space of about 400 square meters

The attached workshop has a large space of about 400 square meters. Equipped with the latest equipment, in addition to the inspection line, three state-of-the-art lifts that can handle up to 3.7 tons are installed, and it is said to be a facility that can handle heavy EV vehicles. In addition, there is one gate lift that can be used for multiple purposes.

To commemorate the opening of the new store, two cars were exhibited for the first time in the showroom: the MC20 Cielo Limited Rosso Vicente, a Japan-limited edition model that pays homage to the racing model of yesteryear, and the MC20 Legenda, a MC12GT1-inspired world-limited car that was the only one to land in the Japan.

Inspired by the MC12GT1, the MC20 Legenda was exhibited as a world-limited edition car and only one car landed in the Japan.    Kazuhide Ueno
Large-scale stores are also very important as a base strategy

At the opening, Mr. Takayuki Kimura, CEO of Maserati Japan, said:

“Following the renewal of Maserati Meguro and Maserati Shinsaibashi last year, we are delighted to be able to open a new Maserati Yokohama Kohoku, one of the largest in Japan. We believe that the fact that we were able to open a large-scale store like Maserati Yokohama Kohoku that integrates a showroom and a workshop in the suburbs of Tokyo with good transportation access is very important as a base strategy.

We are really looking forward to allowing many customers to experience the charm of Maserati through this showroom.”

Next, Tatsuo Takahashi, president of Sojitz Auto Group Japan, which operates Maserati Yokohama Kohoku, said:

“Since July 2021, I have been in charge of Maserati sales in the Yokohama area. This time, our long-cherished wish came true, and we were able to set up a vast and spacious store in Kohoku. All of our employees will do their best to make more customers feel the new appeal of Maserati and provide the services they deserve.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by Mr. Kimura and Mr. Takahashi, Maserati Yokohama Kohoku store manager Yoshitaka Baba, and Ken Okuyama Design CEO Kiyoyuki Okuyama.

The second Japan limited edition model with a special coloring

Matt Benny’s Limited × Japan The Mashman 250 is a special edition car exclusively for Japan that incorporates the inspiration of Benny Thomas, one of the founders of Matt Motorcycles and a custom builder.

Matt Motorcycles CEO Will Rigg and Benny Thomas said of the launch of the bike, “We are honored to be a part of Japan, which has one of the world’s leading custom motorcycle cultures,” and “Matt’s custom models and special editions are at the core of Matt’s DNA.

3 selections of “Self-Defense Force watches”  such as the 70th anniversary of the Air Self-Defense Force and camouflage pattern motifs on land, sea, and air Watch Life News

Swiss watch brand RAYMOND WEIL will release the “Millésime Center Seconds Shermann Limited Edition” on Saturday, March 1st, which is limited to watch specialty store Sherman.

The first Japan limited edition model of the Millésime, jointly developed with Sherman, has a fresh presence with a vintage taste and stirs up men’s desire for ownership.

This work is only available at the Shellman Ginza Mitsukoshi store, Japan Bridge Mitsukoshi store, and Shinjuku Isetan Honkan store, and you can see the actual machine at the Ginza Mitsukoshi store from February 5 (Wednesday).

A Japan limited edition model that perfectly expresses the balance of “neo-vintage”

The Millésime’s first Japan limited edition model features a champagne gold color carefully selected from numerous color samples for the sector dial that displays the hour, minute, and second scales on different tracks, which are synonymous with Millésime.

The hour index, which is displayed in Arabic numerals only at 12 o’clock and combines squares and bars at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, is a limited edition that is reminiscent of an antique watch but shines with the unique personality of the millésime.

The brand logo and hands, colored by a subdued anthracite, perfectly match the vintage flavor of the champagne gold sector dial.

From the center where the vertical streaks create a rich expression, the height increases toward the smooth-textured hour track, while the outermost minute track, which has a concentric pattern, slopes gently outward.

The intricate dial design is three-dimensional and varied, and the black circumference on the border between the center and the hour track further accentuates the impression of the sector dial.

39.5 mm diameter case with box-shaped sapphire crystal windshield

The model “Millésime Center Seconds Sherman Limited Edition” is inspired by the models of the past, when small-diameter cases (diameter 30mm~38mm) were the mainstream, but adopts a case with a diameter of 39.5mm, which is in line with the trend of watchmaking in recent years. It is designed to be the best size that meets the 5 bar water resistance (reinforced waterproof for daily life) and thin thickness (9.25 mm) that can be used daily.

The carefully chamfered bezel has the effect of making the case look thinner, and the hairline finish on the sides of the case lugs and bezel, and the polished finish on the top of the lugs and the bezel chamfer, giving a three-dimensional effect by using the two different finishes.

In addition, the long, vintage-inspired lugs have a rounded tip that is bent sharply to the side of the caseback to improve wearing comfort.

Raymond Weil “Millésime Center Seconds Shellman Limited Edition” (2925-STC-JAP01) 308,000 yen * Limited to 30 shellmen

This work reproduces a vintage design windshield with a cylindrical box that is reminiscent of a plastic windshield of the past, with sapphire crystal. Using modern technology, sapphire crystal with high hardness is cut into a beautiful box shape.

Equipped with the Caliber RW4200, which is based on the reliable Serita automatic movement

The brown calf leather strap is soft and smooth to the touch and has a vintage-like texture. The edges (sides) are finished on a uniform and smooth surface without irregularities, and the beauty of the edges stands out.

The tip of the sword is embroidered with a W-shaped stitch in the shape of Raymond Weil’s initials, and it is a pin buckle specification that strengthens the classical impression.

From the see-through caseback, you can admire the movement of the W-shaped rotor in the shape of Raymond Weil’s initials, and the 6 o’clock position on the caseback is engraved with the “1 of 30” to prove the limited edition.
