Katayama-san is taking his brand to a whole new level. I don't know what else is in your collection, but I can tell you that design is an important issue for you. Can you tell us why did you choose those watches? Let's switch to italian, glad to see an italian friend here. Complimenti, scelta eccellente, se ricordo bene sei riusciuto a prenderlo a listino, che è un ottimo traguardo, visto il successo che sta avendo. Il Ressence è un'altra chicca da vero esteta ed amante del design.
The industrial design is very well done. Best, Emmanuel
...you can have a look at my other posts to see what's in my collection, and you'll notice that design definitely plays a very important part P.S. L'ho acquistato da un rivenditore giapponese, perché è impossibile comprarlo direttamente da Jiro dato che bisogna vivere in Giappone. Il Ressence Type 8 è una meraviglia contemporanea.
Enjoy this gem of a watch!
It really does have a look all of its own and whilst at first I thought it looked really complicated, if the time is 1:02 in the first picture and 11:55 in the last picture I think I worked it out. Marc
With your Ressence they are quite the pair. Looking forward to hearing some more thoughts after you’ve lived with it for a while. And don’t be shy on the wrist shots; always good to see something different.
