Cute Couple with Wristwatch "ARNE JACOBSEN" "BERING" "TRIWA
Pair watches with cute couples.
A young couple just arrived in Japan. It's nice to finally arrive at the hotel, but we haven't decided on a particular schedule. For now, they just lay on their beds and slack off.... A vintage clothing store recommended by a friend, a rumored restaurant, the rooftop of a secret building...they seem to have a vague idea of where they want to go. On their wrists is a pair of Scandinavian brand watches. A quick glance at the time...! Their short trip is about to begin.
Arne Jacobsen is a Danish architect and product designer. It may come as a surprise to some that one of his masterpieces, which created the prototype for Scandinavian design, is a clock. The prototype for this wristwatch was the "STATION" wall clock released in 1943. As the name suggests, the clock looks like something you would find in an old station building, and was created with particular attention to functional beauty (i.e., legibility). In fact, it was used in public facilities such as train stations in Denmark. Even as a wristwatch, it retains its charm. The simple design makes it easy to match with any outfit.

In 1942, Arne Jacobsen designed the City Hall of Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city. Among the many things he designed, including not only the building itself but also the interior design and furnishings, was the wall clock "Roman". The design using Roman numerals is stylish and has a somewhat classic atmosphere. This huge clock displayed on the exterior wall of the City Hall is still loved by the citizens as a symbol of the city even after more than half a century. The "Roman" watch, now a wristwatch, is smaller in size and has a somewhat lovely atmosphere. It goes well with so-called standard clothes such as gansey sweaters and tweed jackets.

TRIWA was established in Stockholm, Sweden in 2007. The first photo shows the brand's iconic "Neville" model. As the name "Smoky" suggests, this model has a beautiful dark gray face with gold-colored hands and indexes. The strap is made of organic leather, which will change over time as it is used. On November 16, this miniature "Nikki" was also introduced. The 36mm case is one size smaller than that of the Neville, and is recommended for women as well as men who like smaller cases.

Changes" is the most popular series of watches from Bering. The secret to its popularity is that two straps, one in leather and the other in mesh, are included with the purchase. Moreover, the straps can be replaced more easily than expected. This time, a boy's size has been added to this model. The original case size of 40 mm has been reduced to 36 mm, making it easier to wear for women as well as men with thin arms. Moreover, the design and functions remain the same, which makes us very happy. It is recommended to wear it casually as a pair.
