[A battle breaks out!? Limited to 500 pieces]”Darth Vader” model appears in the Citizen collection – Watch LIFE NEWS|Watch LIFE NEWS

Posted on by Buy from Japan | Personal Shopper Japan

From the Citizen Collection, a brand that pursues the basic performance and design of watches, Citizen has announced a Japan limited edition model with the motif of the popular character “Darth Vader”. The product will be released in quantities of 500 on May 16, 2024.

[Image]Also pay attention to the limited box with the “Darth Vader” motif!

This work was announced as a limited edition model in Japan with only 500 pieces. Inspired by the popular Star Wars character “Darth Vader”, the case and belt are all black and reminiscent of the figure combined with the metal texture.

“Darth Vader’s face” is laid out on the small second hand at 5 o’clock on the dial, and “Tie Fighter” is laid out on the 24-hour clock at 9 o’clock. The “red” of Darth Vader’s lightsaber and laser was emblazoned in various places.

This red is also used as an accent color on the skeleton part of the back pig that can be seen through the movement, and it is one of the points that makes you feel the attention to detail. The character “Darth Vader” has a strong impact, but it seems to be a model that is easy to use in everyday scenes because it is dropped everywhere with a casual design. The price is 60,500 yen, and a limited edition box is also included.

EBERHARD 2024 New for the protection of Mr./Ms. reefs in Okinawa. Eberard “Scafograf 300 MCMLIX” Save … – Gressive

Posted on by Buy from Japan | Personal Shopper Japan

Everar sympathizes with the activities of Save the Reef, a general incorporated association aimed at the conservation and restoration of Mr./Ms. Reefs, and will launch a new model to support its activities. The prototype of this new collaboration model was unveiled for the first time at the Save the Reef Charity Gala Dinner held at Hotel Okura on December 14, 2023, under the main sponsorship of Everard.

Everard’s masterpiece collection, the “Scafograph”, was developed to meet the demand for diver’s watches. The history of the “Scafograph” began in 1959 with the announcement of the “Scafograph 100” as the first diver’s watch. Since then, various models have been developed, such as the “Scafograph 200” and the “Scaphograph 300”, and finally a model with a water resistance of 1,000 meters was born.

In the 1960s, Raymond Butcher, known as the father of professional diving, and Luciana Civico, the first female professional diver, both set world records wearing the “Scaphograph”. In 2016, the reissue of the Scaffograph 300 won the sports category of the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix (GPHG), the most prestigious luxury horlogerie, and made a name for itself around the world.

More than 60 years have passed since its launch in 1959, but it still retains its unchanged design and plays an important role in the history of Everard. A modern reinterpretation of the original design, the special edition “MCMLIX” represents the year of birth of the collection in Roman numerals.

Home to 25% of the world’s marine fish species, Mr./Ms. Reef provides a diverse range of seafood as a fishing ground and is a source of food for 500 million to 1 billion people worldwide. Today, however, 58% of the world’s Mr./Ms. reefs are potentially threatened by human activities, including coastal development, overexploitation of biological resources, marine pollution, and topsoil runoff caused by deforestation and agricultural development. In addition, large-scale bleaching phenomena due to global warming, destruction of Mr./Ms. reefs by typhoons, and damage by predatory animals are also causes of Mr./Ms. death, and the survival of Mr./Ms. reefs is becoming more serious in various parts of Japan.

Save the Reef is engaged in raising awareness of activities to protect and restore endangered Mr./Ms. Reefs and providing information both domestically and internationally. Eberar supports the activities of Save the Reef, a general incorporated association, and has decided to collaborate with Mr./Ms. to convey the current situation of the to as many people as possible and to regenerate a better ocean.

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the special limited edition model “SCAFOGRAPH 300 MCMLIX Save the Reef Japan Limited Edition” will support the activities of Koji Kinjo of Okinawa’s “Mr./Ms. Field,” who was the first in the world to successfully lay eggs after culturing Mr./Ms. and releasing them into the sea. Koji Kinjo has discovered “Miracle Corals” that are resistant to global warming and is expanding their breeding in the waters of Okinawa. Save the Reef has a vision to spread its “Miracle Coral” to the world’s oceans.

About Save the Leaf

In order to raise awareness of activities to protect and restore Mr./Ms. Reefs and provide information both domestically and internationally, and to regenerate Mr./Ms. Reefs, we form members and collect donations to support Mr./Ms. reef cultivation and marine planting activities. With Mrs. Devi Soekarno as the chief advisor, renowned musicians and business owners such as Akira Senju and Ryosuke Imai serve as councilors to spread their sympathy through various media and call on colleagues who are aiming for the same goal.

Edox celebrates its 140th anniversary with the release of 100 pieces of “Neptunian” limited to Japan on June 1 | NEWSCAST

Posted on by Buy from Japan | Personal Shopper Japan

Developed in collaboration with lifestyle media “FORZA STYLE” and Edox concept shop

TO COMMEMORATE ITS 140TH ANNIVERSARY, SWISS LUXURY WATCH BRAND EDOX WILL RELEASE THE NEPTUNIAN 140TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION ON SATURDAY, JUNE 1ST. For the first time in the Neptunian collection, the left-hand version and the black-toned coloring evoke the darkness of the ultra-deep sea, bringing personality and sex appeal to every man who wears it, as well as expressing Edox’s pride and belief in the future of watchmaking.

Development history

Founded in 1884 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, Edox has been pursuing the production of high-quality diver’s watches for more than 50 years and celebrates its 140th anniversary in 2024.

In order to develop an original model to commemorate this occasion, four parties, Edox, lifestyle media “FORZA STYLE”, Edox concept shops “Tomiya Chrono Factory Omotemachi Store” and “ISHIDA Shinjuku”, have come together. After about a year of trial and error, this product was born.

Concept & Limited Specifications

Based on the concept of “a diver’s watch that makes watch-loving men look the coolest,” the base model is the “Neptunian Automatic,” a professional diver’s watch that boasts a water resistance of 1,000 meters. This is a popular model that is actually used by Yutaka Fukuda, aka Rock Fukuda, who is active in the popular content “Rock Fukuda’s Watch Soul” of “FORZA STYLE” and is also a real user of Edox, and is especially enthusiastically supported by watch enthusiasts among Edox’s many collections.

Reflecting the requests of many Edox fans and watch enthusiasts to the concept shop, the collection is the first to use a non-date crown with a left hand and no date display. All parts of the dial, including the indexes and hands, are colored in black tones, which Yoshimasa Hiriba, the editor-in-chief of “FORZA STYLE,” loves, to express the darkness of the ultra-deep sea, where the sun’s rays do not reach. The caseback is engraved with a limited edition

feature
A diver’s watch in the shape of a sea god

The sturdy and robust case, screw-down crown and 3 mm thick sapphire crystal windshield ensure high water resistance of 100 bar / 1,000 metres. The caseback is engraved with Neptune, the god of the sea, embodying the brand concept of “THE WATER CHAMPION”. In addition, as a limited edition, “140TH ANNIVERSARY”, “LIMITED EDITION”, and “FORZA STYLE” are engraved.

Left Hand Non-Date

Left hand specification with crown at 9 o’clock. The watch is designed for left-handers, wearing the watch on the right arm, and at the same time, when worn on the left arm, the crown does not interfere with the wrist and provides a comfortable fit.

In addition, by eliminating the date display installed in the current model, you can enjoy the beauty of the symmetrical and black-toned dial.

Super-LumiNova Grade X1

Hands and indexes are coated with luminescent paint Super-LumiNova. Super-LumiNova has three ranks: Standard, Grade A, and Grade X1, and this model uses the highest rank, Grade X1. Compared to the standard, it boasts up to 1.6 times the amount of light emitted even after 2 hours, and is excellent in dark places such as at night and underwater.

Auto Helium Escape Valve

Equipped with an auto helium escape valve at 3 o’clock in the case. Helium gas that has entered the watch during saturation diving is automatically discharged, and plays a role in preventing the watch from rupturing due to the difference in pressure between inside and outside. It is a detail that allows you to visually enjoy the charm of a diver’s watch.

316L stainless steel

The case and bracelet are made of 316L stainless steel, which is rust-resistant and gentle on the skin, which is also used in medical instruments. It combines a hairline finish, which features an elongated streak pattern, with a mirror finish that gives a mirror-like luster.

Diving Bezel

Custom-made diving bezel for this product. The black bezel of the current model is slightly less glossy and has a matte finish. In the current model, a scale in 1-minute increments is displayed up to 60 minutes, but this product is a special specification that is in 5-minute increments after 15 minutes.

High-tech ceramic inserts on the surface. It has the same high hardness as sapphire, has excellent scratch and corrosion resistance, and maintains the aesthetics of the watch for a long time. Operability is improved by adding small bumps to the sides. In consideration of the risk of overestimating the remaining oxygen level due to incorrect operation during diving, it is designed to prevent unidirectional rotation.

accessory

Comes with a NATO strap derived from nylon material and a rubber strap with Edox standard silicone. The NATO strap was also customized by Mr. Fukuda for his “Neptunian” and was specially made in a black and silver color scheme that best matches the face of this product. By changing it according to the situation and mood, you can enjoy three variations.

About the Neptunian Collection

With a history of watchmaking for more than a century, Edox has contributed to the development of waterproof watches, including the development of the world’s first patented waterproof mechanism, and has supported people who are active on the sea stage. Inspired by Neptune, the god of the sea in Roman mythology, the Neptunian is a collection of diver’s watches that pursues toughness and practicality.

About Edox
THE WATER CHAMPION

A pocket watch designed and made by the excellent watchmaker Christian Ljufli = Fleury himself to celebrate his wife’s birthday. Moved by the beauty of this gift, his wife encouraged him to start a watch brand, and in 1884 he founded Edox in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. The brand name is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning “time”, and the brand emblem, the hourglass mark, symbolizes “timelessness”. In 2024, we will celebrate our 140th anniversary.

At the time of its founding, the company made a name for itself with pocket watches, but shifted to manufacturing wristwatches in the 1950s. We have developed the world’s first patented waterproof mechanism, and have pursued the creation of high-performance watches that can maintain timekeeping functions even in harsh environments. From the launch of the brand’s first waterproof watch, the Delfine, in 1961, to the current flagship collection “Chrono Offshore 1” and the latest series “Neptunian” in the shape of the god of the sea, we have been at the forefront of diver’s watch development for more than 50 years.

We have a number of partnerships with the sports scene, including serving as the official timekeeper of international luxury sports competitions. With its toughness, such as shock resistance and water resistance, Edox watches are highly trusted by elite athletes.

The business notebook brand “Mnemosyne” will release a limited number of “PLAISIR×Mnemosyne Fountain Pen Set”. A special set that includes a high-quality fountain pen, a mnemony journal, a pencil case, a message card, and blotting paper. Here’s the perfect set for those who want to stick to writing.

A special set full of luxury to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release of Mnemosyne

Maruman (Tokyo) is a stationery manufacturer that is particular about “paper”. Sticking to “paper” for “writing and drawing”, he is working on products such as design sketchbooks and croquis books. This time, we will introduce a new product in the business notebook brand “Mnemosyne” series, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

The concept is that “writing and thinking are → to make work creative.” Maruman’s unique high-quality writing paper is very comfortable to write on. There are many stylish and simple designs, and a rich lineup. You can find the perfect book for your diversifying work style.

“PLAISIR×Mnemosyne Fountain Pen Set” (limited quantity, suggested retail price 11,000 yen including tax, released on February 22, 2024)

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of its release, a special set of the platinum fountain pen “PLAISIR” and the Maruman “Mnemosyne Journal” will be sold in limited quantities.

It is set in a luxurious box and is recommended as a gift.

The set includes:

Special edition “PLAISIR” (with cartridge)
Mnemosyne Journal Black
Fountain pen case
10 message cards
10 sheets of blotting paper

Recommended for those who want to make their fountain pen debut

Let’s start with fountain pens. Collaboration with platinum fountain pen “PLAISIR”. An original color with mnemosyne black throughout. The Mnemosyne logo is casually printed. The matte texture and refinement fit any scene.

It comes with a single ink cartridge, so you can start writing right away. It’s stored in the body, so take it out and set it in the nib. Insert and install the stainless steel ball at the tip slowly until it falls into the ink.

The ink color that comes with it is “blue-black”. A robust and soft nib, a light and full-fledged fountain pen is an item that you want to have at least one. Perfect for adults who like to write. Platinum cartridge ink SPSQ-400 (1 box contains 10 bottles) and SPN-100A (1 bag contains 2 bottles) can be used.

Goes great with fountain pens! The brand’s first journal notebook

“Mnemosyne Journal” is the first journal notebook in the series. This is also a new product. It is a sturdy hardcover in the style of a bookbinding and has 120 pages.

Weight: 461g
Bookbinding: Thread binding
Contents Page 4
Special 5mm dot grid rule 236 pages
Full text: 120 sheets

A 5mm grid line that allows you to expand your thoughts freely and flexibly. A light gray border color that does not interfere with the written text and illustrations. Since the number of pages is printed, it is easy to search if you link to the content page and write it. There are also two bookmark strings that match the cover color.

There is a paper pocket on the back cover that can be used to store stickers and notebook templates. In contrast to the black on the cover, the bright yellow is impressive.

And what is noteworthy is the high-quality writing paper unique to Maruman. The “Mnemosyne Journal” is 90 g/m², which is thicker than the paper used in ordinary mnemosyne. No matter which writing instrument you use, it has a smooth writing feel, and it goes especially well with fountain pens.

It is comfortable to write smoothly and flowing, and the color is beautiful without falling out.

A pencil case that allows you to carry your fountain pen smartly

The logo is casually engraved on the pen case, which can also be used as a pen tray, so you can carry your fountain pen smartly.

If you use a fountain pen, you should have blotting paper

It also contains “blotting paper” that absorbs excess ink from fountain pens and seals.

Adult black is cool, fountain pen & journal notebook set for adults

Because it is a journal, it is like a book. Recommended for those who want to have one book for themselves. With a special fountain pen, write down anything from life logs, illustrations, ideas, and daily thoughts.

Carl F. Bucherer celebrates the long-standing friendship between the two countries with a rare special edition of the popular chronograph. The new story spun in blue also further enhances the appeal of the watch.

The first treaty of amity and commerce between Japan and the Swiss Confederation was signed on February 6, 1864, at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, during the reign of the 14th shogun, Tokugawa Ieshige. This year marks its 160th anniversary. Speaking of the 1860s, it is also known that the Swiss who came to Japan opened the beginning of imports through the introduction of Swiss watches, and as history shows, the two countries have built strong ties to the present day.　

In honor of the long-standing friendship between Switzerland and Japan, the long-established Swiss brand Carl F. Bucherer has unveiled this special commemorative limited edition model. It is based on the Heritage Bicompax Annual, a representative chronograph that has long been popular among watch lovers. It is an extremely rare and outstanding model among the many chronographs of today, combining not only the vintage-flavored Bicompax design inspired by Bucherer’s classic masterpiece made in 1956, but also the modern functions of a convenient annual calendar that requires only one date correction once a year and a highly visible big date display.　

This “Heritage Bicompax Annual Japan” is an even rarer model in that only 88 pieces are manufactured and sold exclusively in Japan. The biggest feature is the blue coloring. In fact, the face of this chronograph is dominated by two breezy blue sub-dials against a silver-finished white main dial and surrounded by a blue flange with a tachymeter scale. This blue, which is a favorite of Japan, has various thoughts and is hidden in the fact that it forms a single story.　

The blue×white livery is exactly the same as the state flag of Lucerne, where Carl F. Bucherer was founded, and the blue symbolizes the beautiful waters of the scenic Lake Lucerne and the sky above the mountains represented by Pilatus and Rigi. Blue also symbolizes the color of the ocean that spread out before the eyes of the Swiss who came all the way across the sea to Japan at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. The two symmetrical sub-dials are a testament to the friendship between Switzerland and Japan. The blue also extends to the sides of the leather strap, which can be easily replaced by a quick-release system.　

In addition to function and design, the background and special story are also important elements for watch lovers. A special commemorative limited edition model celebrating the 160th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries will definitely be a good opportunity to discover such pleasures.

Cartier 2024 new Japan limited edition model will be released on March 15. Cartier “Tank Française” | Brand Watches … – Gressive

Posted on by Buy from Japan | Personal Shopper Japan

As a new model for 2024, Cartier will release a Japan limited edition model of “Tank Française” on Friday, March 15, 2024.

Since 1996, when the original model was born, the “Tank Française” has inherited the timeless charm and French style of the “Tank”. The iconic collection underwent a bold revamp in January 2023 and has been transformed into a new staple with a more modern force. And this year, 2024, which marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first boutique in Japan, a Japan limited edition model will be unveiled.

Featuring a minimalist and monochrome design that looks like a single sheet of embossed paper, the dial was inspired by the culture of “respecting simplicity” in the tradition of Japan art. The silver indexes blend in with the shape of the dial and change their expression depending on the amount of light.

In addition, the crown is moonstone, the hands are rhodium-coated silver, and the dial is opaline, all in soft gray tones, giving the entire watch a pure and sophisticated design.
