Special Guest: Shido Nakamura


The newly opened "Hublot Boutique Osaka" spans two floors, with approximately 80 square meters on the first floor and 100 square meters on the second, offering a spacious environment. The base color palette features Hublot's signature black, accented with the brand's monogram design throughout. Furthermore, the fusion of colorful pop art-style works, inspired by Hublot timepieces, with the monochrome interior embodies Hublot's concept of "The Art of Fusion." A VIP room is also available on the second floor, providing a tranquil setting for guests to select their timepieces at leisure.

Kabuki actor Shido Nakamura, the special guest at the grand opening event, commented: "I am deeply honored to celebrate the opening of Hublot Boutique Osaka with you all. Hublot possesses an innovative and energetic image that transcends the boundaries of traditional luxury watches. Similarly, although I was born into the world of Kabuki, a realm of tradition and formality, I am constantly pursuing new challenges, and I feel a strong sense of kinship with the brand. I look forward to Hublot's continued success."

The gala dinner "HUBLOT Fusion Night in Osaka," held on the evening of the opening event, featured congratulatory video messages from global Hublot ambassadors including MLB player Masahiro Tanaka, Pelé, and Usain Bolt. Approximately 90 guests were in attendance, including jockey Yutaka Take, former professional boxer Hozumi Hasegawa, and soccer player Yasuhito Endō.

Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot, who traveled from Switzerland for the opening, stated: "I have been eagerly anticipating the birth of our second Hublot boutique in Japan, Hublot Boutique Osaka, and the opportunity to meet so many of our valued customers. The fusion of Osaka, a city brimming with new discoveries and vibrant energy, with Hublot's continuous pursuit of innovative watchmaking, is truly the dawn of a new Big Bang Moment. Hublot Loves Osaka!"
