First 50 Guests Invited to Talk Event!



The 15th model in the ISSEY MIYAKE WATCH PROJECT, "W automatic," will be released on Saturday, October 8th. "W automatic" is a new series that further evolves the "W" series, designed by Satoshi Wada, a leading Japanese car and product designer. The "W" series is characterized by its robust design, cultivated from Japanese traditional beauty.

For this project, Mr. Wada approached the mechanical watch, the origin of timepieces, as a primitive tool. By delving into the design of mechanical watches, he has created a new worldview while inheriting the robust design of the "W" series, which is cultivated from Japanese traditional beauty.
