A symbol of rebellious spirit that made dreams come true

Before I knew it, I had about 20 favorite watches. Among them, this Chrome Hearts watch case is like a lucky charm.

When I joined the company as a new graduate, I was transferred to the sales department instead of the department I wanted, and I was feeling sulky. In my rebellious spirit, I thought, "I'll buy myself a watch that goes the least with a suit," and bought it at Chrome Hearts in Ginza. Later, my wish came true and I was transferred to the creative department.

It's a watch that I put so much thought into, so I'll never let it go. Even now, I wear it for good luck when I have to make a big presentation or other important occasions. The dull shine of the silver, which is different from stainless steel, adds an accent. Men's watches tend to be quite large, so I like the size of this women's watch, which makes it easy to use.
