Talks About Watch
Tissot watches that match each life-size fashion.
HOUYHNHNM: Now, tell us again about the Tissot Gentleman Automatic that you used in your styling.
Masaaki: As I mentioned at the beginning of the interview, the watch comes with a leather strap and a metal bracelet, so you will never get tired of using it. A watch is something you wear every day, and you want to change it depending on your mood.
Masaaki's favorite leather strap. The classic and chic look of the color matches dressy clothes such as jackets and stiff coats , creating an elegant and timeless mood.
HOUYHNHNM's: I understand that Masaaki particularly likes the color of the leather strap.
Masaaki: Yes. . The gray of the face and the one-tone color combination make it look very elegant and modern.
HOUYHNHNM: Usually it is black. This deep shade of gray is hard to find.
Masaaki: It's luxurious and chic , but not too dressy.
Nobuyuki：My brother and I both like classic, authentic watches, so we had a lot of fun talking about how great it would be. I thought it would be something I could wear every day without getting tired of it, and that as I wore it, it would become more and more familiar to me.
Masaaki: It's a versatile watch that you will never get tired of.
Nobuyuki：This watch is modern in function, but the design, such as the subtle cross on the dial, is classic and vintage. Nobuyuki: The functions of this watch are modern, but the design of the dial with the subtle crosses and the design is classic and vintage-inspired.
Masaaki: I think so. The balance of function, design, and price is very good.
Nobuyuki：It's authentic, or it has a sense of history , and it's also elegant. My brother and I always talk about this, but rather than trying different things with watches, I prefer to wear watches that have a proper history. He says that since I am aggressive with my clothes, it is only right that I wear a watch from a brand with a long history. In that sense, this watch is from Tissot, so it has a solid background and story.
HOUYHNHNM's: As you said, Tissot is a Swiss brand with a history of over 165 years.
Masaaki: I have the impression that they make all types of watches, from sports to dress watches, including catchy masterpieces such as the "Banana Watch," which even I, not being a watch geek, know. The price range is also wide, and even though the brand has a strong presence at "Baselworld," there are representative pieces priced at several tens of thousands of yen. I think it is amazing and interesting that they have a wide range of products, and that they have a good mix of luxury and unique products.
Nobuyuki：I originally had a strong image of avant-garde, but I think it looks beautiful because it has a proper history. It has depth because it has changed over the course of its history, rather than just being interesting to look at. When I tried it on this time, I found it very fresh and convincing.
Sporty and casual, the metal bracelets are a perfect complement to a variety of mode and casual mix and match styles.
HOUYHNHNM's: By the way, besides the styling you suggested today, what other ways do you think we can make use of it?
Nobuyuki：I think watches can finish off one's coordination. . That is why I think it is good to propose such a classical watch to be used as a finishing touch to a casual look.
Masaaki: I think this watch really goes with any outfit. It can be worn with a sweatshirt and denim, and of course with a suit. That's why young people today, who mix and match 80s, 90s, mode, and various other styles of clothes without any boundaries, would look very stylish with a Tissot watch.
HOUYHNHNM's: You mean that it can be an item that brings together various mixed styles and can make an impact on the styling.
Two: I think so.
