Ikejiri-Ohashi drip and Orobianco. The relationship between a place to lose track of time and a wristwatch.
Relaxing time with Orobianco

Ikejiri-Ohashi drip and Orobianco. The relationship between a place to lose track of time and a wristwatch.

Time is equal, but we all feel it differently. Time flies when you're having fun, and even a minute can feel long when you're bored. Time to relax and take a break without thinking about anything is a luxury, and surprisingly necessary in our busy lives. The "drip" coffee shop quietly located in Ikejiri-Ohashi is a coffee shop where you can relax and enjoy the time flowing by. We wondered how Orobianco's classic wristwatches would look on the two hosts, who spend their time in the stylish space that offers a sense of peace and quiet.

Feel the slow flow of time.

A restaurant's unique point of view. The 27mm case of the women's "Aurelia" watch is a size that women can easily fit in, but how did you feel when you tried it on?

Takizawa:The first one I wore had a silver case and a white dial in a simple hue that could be worn on any occasion and with any fashion. The pink gold case and blue dial on the next watch were cute and stylish. Both blended well with the leather band, making it feel like a real accessory. I don't think I need to wear it with any other bracelets since it completes my hand.

It is also nice that the band is made of Italian leather, as is typical of Orobianco, which originated in Italy. What do you think of Mr. Ichinose's "ORACLASICA"?

Ichinose:I like watches with a solid presence, so the 42mm face size fits me well. I like the feeling of wearing a watch that is heavier than a watch with a slender form.

It is water resistant to 10 atmospheres, automatic, and reasonably priced, so it is easy to use in everyday life.

Ichinose:Moreover, many men like mechanical things. I am one of them. That's why I like to look at open hearts and see-through backs that show the inner workings of the watch. I usually use leather-band watches, so I felt comfortable with them, and the metal band made me feel taller.

Lastly, what are your goals for the future?

Ichinose:I love working in the food and beverage industry, and although I worked part-time for about 6 years, I did it because I loved it, rather than to make money. So, in addition to modeling, I would like to work in the field of gourmet food. I have a science background, so I hope to use that knowledge to approach coffee and food.

Takizawa:I would like to do a lifestyle project for the media, such as a tour of cafes. I also like collecting things such as vases and interior accessories, and I like taking pictures. In addition to modeling, I would like to share what I like to do.

What kind of restaurant do you want to grow "drip" into?

Takizawa:I would like to make it a place where neighbors gather, like a coffee shop in my parents' house. It would be nice to have a place where time passes slowly, as if we are making small talk with our customers.

OROBIANCO's best-selling watches are the men's "ORACULACICA" and the women's "AURELIA. Both watches are water-resistant to 10 atmospheres, and both are self-winding, with a crescent-shaped open heart and a see-through back cover that allows the wearer to enjoy the beautiful movement of the movement. A wide range of colors is also not to be missed.
