As we announced the other day, starting today we will be operating on a "complete reservation system" .
We apologize for the sudden notice.
Recently, there have been many disturbing incidents,
We have been thinking about measures for our stores for some time,
The incident that happened recently at the famous restaurant "Sweet Road" in Kawasaki City,
I think many people, including those in the industry, were surprised.
This incident was also the reason we decided to use a reservation system.
Sweet Road is a long-established store that can be said to be the oldest in the industry.
One of the famous stores that is influential not only in watches but also in the fashion industry.
It is a shop that has an influence on many shops and customers, including ourselves.
This is a famous store that I first learned about 20 years ago when I became interested in vintage watches.
A representative store that is supported by a wide range of generations.
I was really surprised because this incident happened in broad daylight on a Sunday.
Especially around Kawasaki Station, there are usually a lot of people.
Just like the incident in Ginza that happened two months ago, it was very shocking.
It is also disturbing that the robbery took place during the day rather than at night.
Compared to the store that was robbed, our store's unit price is lower, so
To be honest, I don't think there's much benefit to getting robbed.
In addition to watches and jewelry, even stores specializing in trading cards have been robbed.
There is no doubt that we are in a situation where anything could happen at any time.
Probably hundreds of thousands of yen, millions of yen.
I don't think stores that sell watches that cost tens of millions of yen would be concerned about this.
If possible, I would like to do something about it right away.
It is also true that major stores cannot easily change their business policies due to system problems.
However, regardless of the products we handle at our own discretion,
This should give you a sense of the importance of responding immediately.
It would be good if there were many young staff like Sweet Road and someone with physical strength.
Honestly, there is nothing we can do for elderly people like us.
It would be better for customers to have an environment where they can easily visit the store.
I hope you understand this situation.
I know it's a hassle, but
We would appreciate it if you could make an appointment to visit us.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any reservations today, so I was hoping for free time all day.
It's a lot of work and in the end it doesn't seem to be much different than before (lol)
However, I am grateful that the culprit was caught as soon as possible.
It would be nice if there were no more embarrassing incidents.
He hasn't ridden a road bike for about 2 years...
When can I ride?
