Established in 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden, the watch brand “CORNICHE” has announced the limited-edition watch “Ciel Nocturne II” in collaboration with the fashion watch select shop “HMS Watch Store”. From November 23, 2024, a limited edition of 150 pieces will be available at the HMS Watch Store Omotesando and Ontime Shibuya Loft stores, as well as at Cornish stores and the official online store of HMS Watch Store.

Based on Corniche’s popular “Heritage Chronograph” model, the “Ciel Nocturne II,” which has been given a special design and specifications, is the second collaboration of the “HMS Watch Store” that became a hot topic after the first model released in July last year sold out in just one week.

The dial is made of black mother-of-pearl, and the deep green and indigo blue emit a mysterious glow that changes depending on the angle, expressing the beauty of the fantastic night sky. In addition, a one-counter chronograph, which had not been seen in previous models, was specially adopted, and a unique design was given.

The one-counter chronograph is attractive for its simplicity and sophisticated aesthetic created by consolidating measurement functions into a single sub-dial, and the minimalist design succeeds in giving it a classic impression while enhancing legibility.

In contrast to the regular model, which depicts a pine tree symbolizing the French Côte d’Azur on the caseback, this work relieves the words “bonsai” and “manufactured exclusively for our friends in Japan,” which symbolize the relationship with Japan. The left side of the case is also engraved with a serial number indicating limited production, making it a valuable piece for collectors.

The limited number is 250 pieces worldwide, of which 150 will be sold exclusively in Japan. It has been announced that there will be no reproduction, so if you are interested, please contact us as soon as possible. The price is 104,500 yen.

■ 100th Anniversary, Japan Limited Chronograph[Airship Motif Watch “Zeppelin”]Collaboration Set with Bag Brand

A collaboration set between the German watch brand “ZEPPELIN”, which develops a classical design with an airship motif, and the bag brand “PELLE MORBIDA” is now available. It combines the charm of both brands with a sense of luxury, and is limited to 300 pieces with a travel theme.

“Zeppelin” is a brand that pays homage to the history of cruising on Zeppelin airships in the 1920s, which was celebrated as the art of travel, and has provided high-quality German-made watches. On the other hand, “Pelle Morbida” is supported by many celebrities as a bag brand for adults who enjoy boat trips. It has the meaning of soft leather and is characterized by products made of high-quality leather.

The collaboration features Zeppelin’s Centennial Series Japan Limited Edition Chronograph, combined with a leather belt and travel pouch provided by Pelle Morbida.

Zeppelin’s models have been gaining popularity since their launch in 2022 and feature an airship-themed design and high functionality. In addition to a tachymeter (speed measurement function) on the bezel, a telemeter (distance measurement function) is installed on the dial.

The watch’s signature cylinder dial, dome-shaped windshield and airship-shaped case express the elegance of air travel, and are details that shine through German craftsmanship.

In addition, it is based on deep ocean blue, which is inspired by the blue of the deep sea, and in addition to the deep blue bezel, the dial is a beautiful blue that radiates light, creating a sense of luxury on the wrist.

In addition, the belt is made of Pelle Morbida’s finest leather, REMY CARRIAT full-grain leather (TAURILLON Softy), which has a moist touch and a texture that blends in as you use it. This will allow you to enjoy a comfortable wearing experience when wearing the watch.

In addition, a special box comes with a travel pouch made by Pelle Morbida. This pouch is made of LIMONTA nylon fabric. It has a moderate luster and a smooth feel, and is easy to use not only for travel but also for everyday use. In addition, since it has a belt, it is convenient to quickly access small items while traveling.

As a testament to this collaboration, the double names of Zeppelin and Pelle Morbida are designed at 12 o’clock on the dial, and the logos of both brands are engraved on the back pig. By including a serial number that proves that it is limited to 300 pieces, a detailed gimmick is added that makes you feel the joy of holding it. The selling price is 99,000 yen.

ABC-MART, a comprehensive shoe shop that operates all over Japan, is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year! On November 29, 2024, to celebrate this feat, the limited-edition “CM996XS2” will be released with a special edition of the popular New Balance 996!

That masterpiece 996 is a special color of “congratulations” red × gold!

ABC-MART 45th Anniversary Model CM996XS2 GORE-TEX
¥22,000 (tax included)

ABC-MART, a leading figure in Japan’s shoe culture, has also been around for 45 years. To celebrate, New Balance’s super standard model “996” will be released as a special limited edition model “CM996XS2”!

It has a “congratulatory” coloring that expresses the feeling of celebration as it is.

What is New Balance’s “996” in the first place?
It was introduced in 1988 and is a very popular model that still has many fans despite its improvements. It can be worn by both men and women, from casual daily use to light sports scenes. “Made in USA 996” using pigskin suede is also a hot topic.

Pick up 5 points unique to the limited model

Compared to the regular “996”, what seems to be a special limited edition? I will pick up 5 points and explain them!

【Point 1】The impressive “N” logo has different specifications in and out!

The N logo on the upper, which is also an icon of New Balance shoes. The material that frames the N is a different color, white on the outside and red on the inside. Those who notice will notice, and such a casual attention to detail gives a special feeling.

【Point 2】”Congratulations” perfect red × gold tongue design!

In addition to the function of a mudguard, a bold special color is also used for the tongue, which also serves as a face when viewed from the front. The name “996” is embroidered with gold thread in a bright red square. It has a three-dimensional brilliance and has a tremendous impact.

【Point 3】The brand logo of the heel is expressly expressed with gold embroidery!

The design of the heel is also an important point that affects the impression when viewed from behind. The brand logo embroidered on it is also specially arranged with gold thread in this work. A small sparkle makes a clear difference from the regular model.

【Point 4】Uses a vivid red color insole!

The PU insole has a bold arrangement of red color throughout. In addition, the various logos printed on it are represented in gold, expressing an impressive contrast. It is a detail that seems to be a special limited model.

【Point 5】Japan limited model that can only be obtained here!

New Balance is a popular brand that operates globally and has collectors all over the world. It is not uncommon for rare models to compete on a global scale, but this work is limited to Japan. Japan fans are given the opportunity to be the first to get their hands on it.

The 996 GORE-TEX is also highly functional!

It is also worth noting that it has features such as GORE-TEX and C-CAP that enhance practicality.

GORE-TEX specification with a waterproof and breathable membrane in the upper. Even on rainy days, moisture does not pass through the inside, while on the other hand, stuffiness in the shoes can be discharged and kept dry.

In addition to C-CAP, a two-layer midsole and PU insole are used to achieve a comfortable fit. While enabling stable walking, it also supports long-term walking with reliable cushioning.

While using red × gold accent colors, the base is simple white, so it is attractive that there is a wide range of outfits. It’s versatile and easy to adapt to any taste.

While retaining the casualness and sportiness of the “996”, the “CM996XS2” is finished in a special pair that was unlikely. It is a special limited edition model that boasts a quality suitable as an item to commemorate the 45th anniversary of ABC-MART.

It will go on sale on November 29th. Be sure to check it out early before it disappears from ABC-MART stores nationwide!

Ueni Trading, the exclusive distributor in Japan of the American watch brand TIMEX, which celebrates its 170th anniversary this year, will release the Japan limited edition model “IRONMAN 8-LAP METAL” on Friday, November 22.

The gold standard of sports watches has been upgraded to stainless steel to match the wrist of an adult

One of the epochs not only in Timex but also in the history of watches is the IRONMAN 8-LAP, which was born in 1986.

It broke the stereotype of digital watches, which were dominated by “pitch black” at the time, and even achieved 100m water resistance while equipped with an 8-lap memory function with a front button.

There are countless anecdotes that can be told, such as the story of the Iron Man watch worn by the president of the United States, the story of how NASA astronauts actually wore it in space, and the story of how it became the basis for a model jointly developed with Microsoft.

The latest metal version of IRONMAN 8-LAP METAL was born from a conversation between the designers at the time and the Timex headquarters in the wake of the reissue of the original model in 1986, which was realized as a project in Japan.

While retaining the design and operability of the masterpiece, the case, top ring and pushers have all been upgraded to stainless steel.

In order to guarantee waterproofness, the molds for the case and parts were remade from scratch, and the structure of the back cover was also revamped for this model.

The case and top ring are carefully finished while switching between matte and polished, and you can enjoy a different expression every time you look at it due to the refraction of light.

There are three colors to be developed.

The color of gold is neither yellow gold nor pink gold, but an exquisite calm tone.

The silver-colored SS (stainless steel) model has a more prominent glossy front pusher and harmonizes with a variety of styles.

The black bracelet is a seven-strand bracelet that is supple and comfortable to wear, and features a contrast between the glossy polish and the matte finish.

The size is easy to adjust, so it is suitable as a gift.

British footwear brand Dr. Martens will develop a collection featuring color stitching, focusing on the release of the Japan limited edition model of THE 1460 BOOT, the origin of the brand born in 1960. Dr. Martens’ iconic welt stitching and heel loops are topped with Japan’s exclusive colors GREEN, RED, and NAVY, and the classic yellow stitching, white stitching, and mono stitching are added to the lineup, proposing a new style to a universal design. In addition, the color stitching limited to Japan is the same as the standard THE 1461 SHOE, which is on a par with THE 1460 BOOT, and is also available in the same color.

Dr. Martens has always lived with subcultures. Universal and tough boots have been constantly evolving as icons of the wearer’s style, expression, and statement. The young people who appear in the key visuals of this color stitch collection are heroes who create culture with new methods of expression in realistic Tokyo street scenes. As they express, it was a time when age, gender, and nationality did not matter. Be yourself, express yourself as you like, freely, and with your own stitched colors.

Tokyo, Japan – October 15, 2024: Swiss luxury watch brand TAG Heuer has launched the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Japan Limited Edition, which expresses the brand’s passion for embodying the racing spirit. This model features a bond to motorsports and a design reminiscent of Japan’s color code, and will be available in a limited edition of 240 pieces.

This model celebrates the tranquil beauty of red and white, which evokes the traditional colors of Japan. The number “24” boldly engraved at the 12 o’clock position and on the caseback expresses Japan’s sense of time and emotion, recalling the 24 hours of the day and the 24 seasons of the four seasons. The beauty of red and white interweaving together symbolizes that it is a timepiece that enriches the scenes that colored 2024 and the road ahead, and that it is a timepiece that colors special moments while being close to the daily life of the wearer.

Peeking out from the caseback of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Japan Limited Edition, the TH20-00 movement boasts an excellent power reserve of around 80 hours. Each watch is engraved with “ONE OF 240” on the caseback to indicate that it is one of a limited edition of 240 watches and comes with a perforated black calf strap.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Japan Limited Edition will be available in TAG Heuer boutiques, official online boutiques and authorized retailers.
