Samsonite will release the Japan limited edition model “Silver” from the travel collection “MINTER”, which combines sophisticated form and functionality.

The metallic texture of the shell, reminiscent of aluminum, is fused with dark-toned metal parts, and the synergy with the shaded expression created by the ribbed design of the shell creates a chic and sophisticated style overall.

The interior, which is designed with a pale gray fabric to match the exterior, is equipped with dividers on both sides to prevent the load from collapsing. The right side is removable, and the attached hook allows you to hang it as it is while traveling. It also comes with a large packing cube that is convenient for organizing clothes, and is also equipped with suspension wheels that realize smooth movement with comfortable operability.

In addition to a luggage tag engraved with “JAPAN LIMITED” indicating a Japan-limited model, an engraved label is also designed on the interior.

There are four types of spinners: 55 spinner (61,600 yen), 61 EXP spinner (64,900 yen), 69 EXP (68,200 yen), and 75 EXP spinner (72,600 yen).

In addition, those who purchase a limited model or standard color by August 31 will receive an original pouch of the same design on a first-come, first-served basis.

Breguet has reopened its flagship store in Japan, Breguet Boutique Ginza. Located on the third floor of the Nicholas G. Hayek Center in Ginza, Tokyo, Breguet Boutique Ginza offers a wide range of collections, making it a boutique worthy of a flagship store in Japan. In addition, to commemorate the reopening, two Japan limited models from the “Marine” collection will appear.

The new Breguet Boutique Ginza occupies the entire third floor

When you enter the boutique, you will see a manual guilloché lathe, a symbol of Breguet craftsmanship. The guilloché lathe was built in the late 1800s and is still in good working order after repairs by a specialist department at Breguet’s headquarters. The company has the largest guilloché division in the watch industry. For Breguet, perpetuating this art is essential, and it’s worth seeing one of the iconic old guilloché lathes in a Ginza boutique in Japan.

Breguet details are reproduced in the interior

Breguet’s signature elements are seamlessly incorporated into the store, such as the furniture design reminiscent of the flute decoration of the case band, the carpet reminiscent of guilloché decoration, and the delicate touch of Breguet Blue that adorns the entire boutique.

VIP Lounge

All the elements in the boutique, including materials such as American walnut and marble, have been carefully selected by the design team at the company’s Swiss headquarters. There is also a VIP lounge, where visitors can enjoy communicating with the staff while slowly browsing the products.

Marine’s first Japan limited edition model is now available

The new model is made in white gold and features a black dial with a guilloché wave motif hand-applied by hand at the Manufacture and a silver-finished chapter ring. Of course, the limited number of the 25 bottles is engraved on the caseback as “**/25”.

In addition, to commemorate the reopening of the Breguet boutique Ginza, two models of Breguet’s sporty watch “Marine” collection, which is also popular in Japan, have appeared in two models with a three-hand and a chronograph mechanism and a black dial limited edition model in Japan. Limited edition models of 50 pieces, 25 pieces each, will be sold only at four directly managed stores of the brand in Japan (Breguet Boutique Ginza, Breguet Boutique Isetan Shinjuku, Breguet Boutique Japan Bridge Mitsukoshi Main Store, and Breguet Boutique Hankyu Umeda Main Store).

On June 21, 2024, Jaguar Land Rover Japan introduced the Range Rover SV Bespoke 1858 Edition (limited to 4 units) and the Range Rover SV Bespoke Balmoral Edition (limited to 5 units) as bespoke special edition models limited to Japan.

The Bespoke 1858 Edition expresses the connection between Japan culture and Britain

The two limited-edition models will be produced exclusively in the Japan market using the SV Bespoke Service, a personalization program introduced in 2023, to further strengthen the exclusive, modern luxury Range Rover brand.

In collaboration with the SV design team in the UK, it is a special model that took 12 months to develop, from concept to bespoke painting and finishing.

The Range Rover SV Bespoke 1858 Edition is named after the year of the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the two countries in 1858, establishing diplomatic relations between Japan and the United Kingdom, and is based on the long-wheelbase SV P615 LWB with a special design inspired by Japan culture.

The monotone exterior and interior are inspired by ink painting from the Muromachi period, one of the painting methods that have existed in Japan for a long time, and in order to express the “blur” often used in ink painting, a bespoke light gray exterior color that is as close to white as possible has been developed, and this color is also used for the aluminum wheel inserts.

On the other hand, by adopting a slightly darker bespoke gray for the roof color, it is also a point to shade the whole so that it does not become monotonous. In addition, the “RANGE ROVER” badge is decorated with a brighter chrome than the regular model, making the logo clearly visible when viewed from the rear.

The interior is also a special combination only available for the “1858 EDITION”, with cinder gray seats for the front seats and light cloud seats (cinder gray interior) for the rear seats. The shoulders of the seats are embroidered with an original design inspired by the patterns of Japan kimonos, and together with the trim finishers and white shift control, an exceptional interior space that combines luxury and purity at a high level is realized.

The number of units sold is limited to 4 units, and the vehicle price is 48.5 million yen.

Derived from the British royal family’s Balmoral Castle, the “Bespoke Balmoral Edition”

The other “Range Rover SV Bespoke Balmoral Edition” is a model derived from Balmoral Castle owned by the British royal family in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The first generation four-door Range Rover sold in the 1980s also had a lineup of exterior colors called Balmoral Green, which was reinterpreted in a modern style, and a new color exclusive to this model, a brighter and more transparent bespoke green with a more luxurious texture, was developed. This is combined with the roof, mirror covers, and aluminum wheel inserts in bespoke gray to express a discreet personality that is not too glamorous.

The base vehicle is the standard wheelbase SV P615, and the interior has a good texture and uses Ultrafabrics, which emits less CO2 than leather in the manufacturing process, and pursues luxury while also being environmentally friendly. In addition, the light cloud front and cinder gray rear have been adopted, and the front and rear seats and color scheme of the “1858 Edition” have been reversed.

In addition, it is finished with a satin white ceramic trim finisher, which is not available on the regular model, to create a cleaner and brighter atmosphere.

The number of units sold is limited to 5 units, and the vehicle price is 38.66 million yen.
