OMEGA Watches and Makoto Tanijiri's Seaside Story.

OMEGA watches and Makoto Tanijiri's Seaside Story.

Makoto Tanijiri has an enormous amount of tasks as an architect and entrepreneur. For him, a wristwatch is more than just a tool for checking the time. It contains a new value that he realized only after giving it up once, as well as a philosophy that is typical of architects. On this day, he came to the seaside with his motorcycle, which he enjoys, and on his wrist was the new "Seamaster Planet Ocean" from OMEGA. There are many things I would like to ask him about, such as his favorite watch, his work style, and the inspiration he receives from nature, but let's start with the ocean.
