You appeared on Crazy Journey the other day.
Masahiro Kikuno is an independent watchmaker.
What is an independent watchmaker? Please check it out (lol)
I had seen him on TV and in print several times and was vaguely familiar with his work.
It was amazing to see it on TV again.
It's really amazing to create everything yourself.
It's not a big deal to produce not only mechanical plates and gears, but even a single screw.
This time, the topic was about watches that cost about 20 million yen.
There was also a tourbillon that cost around 9 million yen.
Just ask the price and think it's expensive or cheap.
If you think that you would buy ○○ from ○○ brand, then you are out of luck.
These watches are "works of art" that can no longer be measured by price.
No matter how much the price is, whether you can pay for the labor or not.
It is truly the "domain of God" that neither the creator nor the client can understand.
Naturally, this is an area that I cannot understand...
Such independent watchmakers include the now famous Franck Muller (not Franck Miura).
There were many people from overseas, such as FP Journe.
He is the only Japanese to be admitted to the Independent Watchmaker's Association, so not only is he highly regarded for his watches, but he is also good at his craftsmanship.
To put it simply, he's like Ichiro who plays in the major leagues.
Above all, the watches we create are wonderful,
Although he is still young, he has the skills to convince many celebrities.
The reason why he is so highly regarded is probably due to his great personality more than his skill.
Although the direction was different, it was a program that I could learn a lot from as someone who handles the same "clock".
Now, changing the topic, it's almost spring, or is it already spring?
The best season of the year is coming.
If you are thinking of taking a short trip to Fukuoka, we recommend this place whether you are staying overnight or on a day trip...
"Cycling" ← The topic has changed too much from the beginning.
As part of our theme of "proposing a lifestyle through watches,"
Cycling is an event that can be enjoyed especially during this season.
Please also check out our ``Ameblo'' blog where we write about things other than those stores!
There is also a link on the menu bar, so please read it at your leisure.
Oh, don't worry, there is no advertising revenue or anything just because you watched it.
I'm serious about this blog, and I'm pretty lazy about Ameblo (lol)
When I moved here, I thought,
There are so many wonderful places and shops, but if you live in Tokyo or Hiroshima, it's surprisingly difficult to find information about them.
Now that the weather is getting warmer and I'm walking outside, I think it's a really nice city to live in.
I'm also writing about my thoughts while I'm there, so please read it when you have time.
So, what were you talking about in the end? ?
