Since its debut in 2000, Citizen's watch brand "Campanola" has consistently offered innovative timepieces that beautifully express the joy of time through cutting-edge technology, with a design concept rooted in "the beauty of the cosmos."
This fair will showcase a wide range of Campanola's collection, including new moon phase models where the moon, our closest celestial neighbor, is depicted in lacquer and mother-of-pearl within a mid-sized case (36mm diameter), as well as the mechanical collection that combines traditional Japanese lacquer craftsmanship with Swiss "La Joux-Perret" mechanical movements.
Furthermore, on Sunday, February 25th, an assembly demonstration event for Campanola watches will be held, featuring Hiroko Arai from Citizen Watch Manufacturing's Iida factory.
Arai has dedicated nearly 40 years to assembling watch movements and finished products, holding the title of Citizen's Watch Assembly Super Meister. She has been recognized as a "Contemporary Master Craftsman" by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, and in January 2018, received the "Grand Prize at the Monozukuri Nippon Grand Award."
On the same day, a talk show will also be held with Haruya Ohba, a designer for Campanola. We invite you to take this opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the world of Campanola.
