Japan-Exclusive Masahiro Tanaka Model for the New York Yankees Also on Display
Kamine is renowned not only within its home prefecture of Hyogo but also among watch enthusiasts nationwide, recognized as one of Japan's premier watch retailers. With five stores centered around Sannomiya-Motomachi in Kobe, they offer a diverse range of brands.
The concept of the Kamine Kyu-Kyoryochi store, affectionately known as 'Maison de Kamine,' is 'comfortable.' Within this inviting space, meticulously selected timepieces from esteemed luxury maisons are elegantly displayed.
It is at this Kyu-Kyoryochi store that the Hublot Fair will take place from July 19 to August 18, 2015. Among the highlights is expected to be the rare 'Aero Bang MT88,' limited to just 88 pieces worldwide. This model is a collaboration with Hublot ambassador Masahiro Tanaka, the star pitcher for the New York Yankees, with 'MT' signifying his initials. Combining Hublot's signature material innovation with a refreshing blue and white color scheme, it's a highly coveted piece for fans of 'Ma-kun.'
Furthermore, the Japan-exclusive 'Big Bang Unico Titanium White' is generating significant anticipation. This model features a striking contrast with black accents on the case sides and strap, emphasizing the pristine white of the watch face. The skeletonized dial offers a captivating view of the in-house Unico chronograph movement, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
Opportunities to view and purchase such rare, limited-edition models are infrequent, making this fair a distinguished event befitting a top-tier retailer. During the fair, a premium value plan offering up to 60 interest-free installments will be available, and purchasers will receive a special Hublot gift, adding to the allure.
Additionally, July 19th and 20th are designated as 'Hublot Special Days,' featuring special model sales and a 'Comic Portrait' service where visitors can have their likeness drawn in a comic style. These engaging events offer the perfect chance to fully immerse oneself in the world of Hublot.
