“The ”Murph Watch" goes with any style.
I think this watch goes with any style, but this time I put it together based on the world of the movie. The jacket is from "Dailik" with a zipper that has a frame based on the motif of "Inception. The shoes are the same pair worn by the actors in the zero-gravity scene in the film we made with Dailik, and we took the context of a science fiction movie and Nolan's worldview into consideration.
-How did you feel when you actually held the “Murph Watch” in your hands? What was your impression of the design?
Arata: In terms of graphics, it looks solid at first glance, but if you look closely at the fonts, you can see that they are playful. 9 and 3 are rounded, and there is a space between the 9s, which to me gives a soft impression. When you move away from it, it is hard, and when you get close to it, it is soft. I thought it was an interesting balance.
Isamu: It's cute, isn't it? Arata wears a 42mm size, and I have thin arms, so the 38mm size seems to fit me just right.
I was conscious of showing off my watch well with voluminous bottoms and a [Dailik] jacket with tight sleeves. I have a large body, so the 42mm size fits me, and I chose voluminous clothes accordingly.
Continent: The shape of the tip of the hour hand is unique. It is very ornate here, like the clock in the movie "The Curious Invention of Hugo. It should have been just a single line.
-The hour hand, known as a cobra hand, was designed to be filled with luminescent paint so that soldiers could see it in the dark as a military watch.
Isamu: Fashion is interesting when you can see that kind of background. It's like history resides in a design born from function.
Continent: It looks even cooler when you hear it. I honestly think the “Murph Watch” is something that I honestly think can go with any styling. The fact that it appeared as a costume in "Interstellar" made me think again that it was chosen as one of the costumes that would look good on anyone, since the main character is in a situation that could happen to anyone.
In the first interview, I used a metal belt, so I styled the watch in black. But this time, I used a leather belt, so I dared to style it with a liberal use of color. I think leather goes well with items with color, such as floral patterns and beige, as in this case" (Continental).
Arata:Is anyone wearing "Hamilton" in Japanese films?
-The main character, Detective Aoshima, in "Bayside Shakedown" was said to have worn a "Hamilton" watch.
Isamu: That's soooo nice.
Arata: The image of a glimpse from under a mod coat comes to mind.
Continent: I like the relationship between the criminal drama and the clock.
-Do you look into the history and background of a brand when choosing something?
Continent: I look at them quite a bit. Especially when it comes to vintage clothing. I pay attention to what kind of military clothing it is. However, some military clothing is so strongly influenced by the political background of the time that, although the design is cool, I don't want to buy something from a time when this ideology was prevalent.
Arata: Both military and workwear have evolved through history, haven't they? I heard that the slanted pockets on fatigues jackets were improved so that branches would get caught when fighting in the jungle. Functions have evolved over time to suit the times, and they are still being used today. I like that kind of storytelling and evolution, and I think it's great that there is no more waste.
Isamu: It is also cool to emphasize only the design. I think it's cool to focus only on design, but I also think it's cool to focus only on design. I think that the fact that there is something behind both of them is what makes it fun to look at things. Also, the appeal of clothes changes depending on who is wearing them, not just the brand itself. The current trend is to look for clothes that encompass culture.
Arata: Yes, yes. I think it's density rather than length of time. Even up-and-coming brands can look attractive when worn by famous rappers.
