Trusted high-end neo-vintage in Tokyo and Kyoto?
Hi all,
Travelling to Japan, was wondering if the purists had any recommendations for neo-vintage shops in Tokyo and Kyoto? Here are a few things on my shortlist:
- 5070g
- Lange homage series
- art deco Reverso
- modern independents like Moser, Lang&Heine
- "value picks" like semi-recent VC
- Patek, Lange women's watches
As you can see, more dressy stuff. Thankfully not on the hunt for any super hype pieces.
Advice appreciated!

Not a formal series, but all of the homages to Walter and Emil are very attractive.

Thank you!
This is very good information, I did not know about appointments. I'll look into it!
Aoyama is a great shopping area...
...there used to be a shop on the corner a block or two from the Starbucks there. It was like a consignment shop for various goods. They had a beautiful Patek 5070J that I really should have bought. Don't remember the name and don't know if it's still the...
