How to enjoy the watch .
-How many watches do you have?
Fountain:I don't have that many.
Komatsu:Me too . Just one mechanical and two digital.
Fountain:What was the point of choosing a mechanical system?
Komatsu:. I thought I only needed one mechanical watch, and I was extremely selective. I couldn't find one for years because I thought too hard about things like the size of the case and whether the font of the numbers should be different from the others.
Fountain:I'm very cautious. I have been looking at a lot of different ones, but I still can't make up my mind. How many do you have?
Nakajima:About 20 bottles.
Fountain:That's as good as it gets. Is there a time to buy?
Nakajima:. When I buy a new outfit, I want a new watch to go with it. . When I buy a new outfit, I want a new watch to go with it, and when I buy a new watch with new features, I want to try it out, and when I see someone else wearing it, I want it.
Komatsu:There are so many ways to enjoy watches.
Nakajima:You can also have fun changing the belt. Customizing it will give you a different impression, and you can use it for a long time.
-What kind of choices do you make every day?
Nakajima:There are days when I choose a watch based on my outfit, and there are days when I want to wear this watch so that I can coordinate it with my outfit.
Komatsu:Sounds fun! What kind of needs do you see in the "Tic Tac" storefronts?
Nakajima:. It depends on the trend of the time. A decade ago, larger faces were popular, but these days, many customers want versatility.
Komatsu:When you say versatility?
Nakajima:. a simple dial, one that can be worn both at work and on holidays, . The simpler the index, the more popular it is, and many people think that a second hand is unnecessary.
Komatsu:Watches have a mechanical coolness, but perhaps many people are looking for a fashion sense. How do you choose a versatile watch?
Nakajima:If worn for work, the basic dial colors are white, black, and blue. Silver and gunmetal cases are easy to match.
Fountain:What about belts?
Nakajima:If you don't usually wear a wristwatch very often , I recommend a mesh bracelet. If you are not used to wearing a wristwatch, it feels uncomfortable on your hand. Mesh bracelets are lightweight, so you will feel less stress.
-What role do you think a wristwatch plays in your styling?
Fountain:. I think just a glimpse of the watch through the cuff will tie the outfit together. . It makes a big difference if there is a cushion between the sleeve and the skin. . The item itself is small, but its presence is huge.
Komatsu:It has a different presence than a bracelet, doesn't it?
-Bracelets seem to be too cool and some people feel petty and embarrassing.
Fountain:Bracelet or wristwatch also gives a sense of personality, doesn't it? Wearing a wristwatch gives an impression of solidity, doesn't it?
Komatsu:Indeed . I kind of like the impression.
Fountain:I think watches can be unique depending on the type and design, and can also create character.
-I understand that you don't usually wear a watch very often, but when do you wear it?
Fountain:I often wear it when I'm wearing a cuter outfit, to make up for the lack of one. Personally, I prefer the more casual look with long sleeves.
-I can check the time on my phone, but what do you think is the significance of wearing a watch?
Fountain:. It's like an adult's taste, isn't it?
Komatsu:Yes, that's right. Vintage is also popular these days, but do you have customers who come to your store because of that?
Nakajima:There are a lot of them. Tic Tac also carries vintage items, and they are selling better than ever before.
Komatsu:I admire it , but when I look at the price, I can't afford it and think I'm not worthy of it yet.
Fountain:I'm not ready for it, and I'm not sure I want to wear it to see this.
Komatsu:I can check the time on my phone , but I think it is cool to dare to wear a wristwatch. Even if it is the same as checking the time, I feel better if I see a watch that I like.
Nakajima:Yes, that's right. As for the significance of wearing a watch, the most important thing for me is to choose one that makes me excited. The design should make you want to check the time.
Fountain:When I was in elementary school and received my first wristwatch, I used to wear it even when I had nothing to do.
Komatsu:. I understand why you would want to wear it. It's a piece of fashion and a machine , so it tickles me.
