Limited quantity reprint[Nagano Prefecture “Watch Shop Reprint”]Mechanical watch featuring a mortar-shaped dial reminiscent of lacquerware – Watch LIFE NEWS|Watch LIFE NEWS

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 20th anniversary of the watchmaker Fugokudo, a directly managed store attached to its own factory, “Nanan Seiko” in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, has started selling a limited number of its own mechanical wristwatches “Azusa PREMIER”.

Azusa PREMIER

The brand handles everything from design to case processing, polishing, assembly, and precision adjustment at its own factory in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture. Shinshu’s craftsmanship and tradition, as well as parts including movements, are made in Japan as much as possible, and we pursue high-quality watch manufacturing.

In the first sale in 2014, it was sold out without being able to be mass-produced due to the complicated case shape and difficulty in adjustment. After that, there were many requests for resale, which led to this reprint.

The most distinctive feature of this model is the dial, which has a unique mortar-shaped shape. The glossy black dial with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating has an elegant finish reminiscent of lacquerware. On the dial, the power reserve display at 12 o’clock and the date display at 4 o’clock ~ 5 o’clock are prioritized, and it combines design and practicality. In addition, in terms of functionality, it is equipped with a water resistance function of 10 ATM. The selling price will be 297,000 yen.

The first collaboration model for Japan

The Matte GT-SR Benny’s Limited × Japan is a special edition model based on the 250cc class air-cooled single-cylinder model “GT-SR 250”, and is the first Japan limited edition model by custom builder Benny Thomas.

Benny Thomas, a builder who is also one of the founders of Matt Motorcycles, features his inspirational “Benny Yellow Special” tank color, exclusive decals decorating the tank, and a sticker on the front top bracket.

Regarding the model, Matt Motorcycles CEO Will Rigg sent the following message.

“Matt Motorcycles doesn’t make bikes for everyone, but many of our fans in Japan understand our beliefs and design, and they love the way we sound and feel Japan.

The “Japan limited edition Benny Limited × Japan was heavily influenced by vintage dirt bikes, opting for the Benny Yellow Special, a yellow color that accentuates the shape of the tank while emphasizing the contrast with the rest of the tank. I really like the colors that are not in the regular matte lineup. We believe that this special model is even more special within the special brand of Matt and that it is a bike that will enrich your life. We hope that this limited-edition model will inspire many people and encourage them to develop an interest in mats.”

“We are planning to collaborate further with Matt Motorcycles Japan in the future and have prepared some special models designed for Japan×. Forget about the stresses of everyday life and enjoy looking at the bright yellow tanks. This is the machine for you to be free.'”

The price of the Matte GT-SR Benny’s Limited × Japan is 766,700 yen, the same as the base model. Only 20 units have been sold.

【Chopard】Japan limited edition model appears in Maison’s icon watch | Chopard Japan K.K. Press Release

Chopard’s iconic Happy Diamond watch collection is now available in an exclusive Japan edition. The 18-carat ethical rose gold model, set with five iconic moving diamonds and featuring a dial of navy blue aventurine that shines like a starry sky, will be available in a limited edition of 50 pieces in Chopard boutiques and Chopard stores nationwide from Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

Eternal Joie de Vivre “The Joy of Living”

Since its inception in 1976, Happy Diamond has been a one-of-a-kind creation that vividly reflects the Maison’s artisanal talent, embodying the “free” spirit of women who have the art of everyday splendour, joie de vivre and the art of colouring life. The evocative movement gives the diamond a distinctive twirling movement that playfully and freely carves the eternal Joie de Vivre.

A 26 mm “Happy Diamond” watch with a rounded and feminine shape. Its unique and iconic design features a central case with an hour and minute hand surrounded by a diamond-set seconds bezel in 18K ethical rose gold. Between the two sapphire crystals, five moving diamonds swing and resonate with the diamonds at 12 and 6 o’clock. And the push button for adjusting the time on the back of the case, which can be said to be the crystallization of the atelier’s brain. By removing the crown on the side of the case, the watch maintains the perfect circle drawn by the watch while still giving it a light finish. In a stage of eternal joyous dance, the brilliant steps of “Happy Diamond” are choreography that Chopard has been directing since the birth of the Moving Diamond.

Aventurine glass with a mysterious brilliance

Now, the watch, with its 18-carat ethical rose gold case and blue aventurine glass dial, joins the collection as a limited edition of 50 pieces in Japan. Aventurine glass, with its deep blue and sparkling inclusions, is said to be the product of “chance”. In the 17th century, it is said that a craftsman in Murano’s workshop accidentally dropped copper shavings into the melted glass. This interesting result is named “aventurine” after the Italian word “peravventura”, which means “coincidence”. This navy blue glass, which sparkles mysteriously and evokes a starry sky, has already been used on the dial of the “Happy Sport” watch and the “Happy Heart” jewelry, but this is the first time that the dial of the “Happy Diamond” watch will be decorated. This very exclusive new watch, which can only be purchased in Japan, will be sold in a limited edition of only 50 pieces. Don’t miss it!

A discreet color that fits your arm[140th Anniversary “Breitling” Japan limited model]Gray chronomat appeared – Watch LIFE NEWS|Watch news site for enjoying watch life

Swiss watchmaker “Breitling” has released the Japan limited edition model “Chronomat B01 42” to commemorate the 140th anniversary of its founding and the 40th anniversary of the birth of Chronomat. It is a limited edition model with only 150 pieces.

Chronomat B01 42 Japan Limited

“Chronomat” was born in 1984. Originally, it was a model that boldly challenged the market as a mechanical watch in opposition to the ultra-thin quartz watches that were flourishing at the time. It has its origins in the chronograph introduced in 1983 in collaboration with the Italian Air Force Frecce Tricolori, which once again made the world aware of the Breitling tradition and the value of mechanical chronographs.

The new “Chronomat B01 42” features a gray-colored dial with an unprecedented inorganic atmosphere and a gray rubber belt of the same color. And the red chronograph seconds hand is an exquisite accent.

This time, it will be equipped with the Manufacture Calibre 01, a COSC-approved chronometer. The skeleton’s caseback is engraved with “ONE OF 150” and you can admire the beauty of the movement. The selling price will be 1,155,000 yen.
