CASE 3: People who use Just like the tools of your trade, taking care of them increases your attachment to them.
PROFILE
He works at HUB Hatagaya, a barbershop in Hatagaya. Recently, he shaved off his wild beard, which used to be his charm point, and is now entertaining visitors with a renewed spirit.
Do you pay attention to time when you are at work?
No. 2: It's a mess. We are especially busy on weekends, and we have to work in time to meet customers' reservations. Some people decide on a menu on the day of their appointment, and it is our job to give our best performance while fighting against time within the allotted time frame. So I always check the clock to see how much time has passed. That is why a clock is a necessary tool, just like scissors and combs.
What kind of watches do you usually use?
No. 2: I use waterproof ones because they often come in contact with water, for example, when shampooing.
The Khaki Field Mecha is also water-resistant.
No. 2: It's nice. I also like this rugged design. It's simple enough to go with everything, so it doesn't matter what kind of coordination I choose. In addition to shampoo, I often use hair styling products such as grease and oil, so I have to be careful with delicate watches. In that sense, this is also good. The historical background also tells us that it is tough.
The watch is hand-wound, and the fact that you wind the mainspring yourself to move the movement is another appealing feature of this watch.
No. 2: That kind of watch is nice, isn't it? It makes it feel more like a tool and gives you a sense of attachment to it. I regularly maintain my work tools by sharpening scissors and oiling them. This improves performance and gives me a sense that the tools are becoming more and more my own. I think I can experience something similar with this watch.
What kind of situations outside of work do you think you can play an active role in?
No. 2: I think it is a watch that can really be worn anywhere. The simple design, the functionality, and the reliability of the Hamilton brand all contribute to this. So you can wear it when you ride a bike, or even when you go out to eat.
What did you have in mind when you coordinated today?
No. 2: Since the watch is an active watch, I coordinated it with a fishing vest with the outdoors in mind. I also tried to match the navy color of the watch with the color of my clothes. However, it is a simple design with a high degree of anonymity, so I think it matches the coordination without any thought. That's the charm of this watch, too.
