TUDOR Boutique Osaka Opens, Featuring an Open-Air Street Art Project
Since its founding in 1926, TUDOR has been cherished by professionals worldwide for its watches of unwavering quality and pioneering spirit. Now, the brand has opened its first street-level boutique in the Kansai region, TUDOR BOUTIQUE OSAKA, in Japan's second-largest city, Osaka. To commemorate this opening, a street art project supported by TUDOR is being presented at three locations near the boutique.

A Space to Fully Enjoy TUDOR's Entire Domestic Collection
TUDOR, the Swiss watch brand that promises sophisticated style and proven reliability alongside its unique value, has opened its first street-level boutique in the Kansai region in the heart of Shinsaibashi. Stepping through the facade, the interior, designed with the latest concept in black and red, is a space where one can experience the watch collections reflecting founder Hans Wilsdorf's vision, the brand's roots and history as it evolved into a manufacture, and its brand philosophy, "#BornToDare."
The open upper floor of the new boutique, the first in Japan to span two levels, features a lounge area with a library. Here, guests can leisurely browse the entire domestic collection, including long-loved classic models and the latest releases, and immerse themselves in the world of TUDOR.
To celebrate the opening of this boutique, a street art project by domestic and international artists is being held at three locations in the Shinsaibashi area surrounding the store. This project was initiated with the hope that "outdoor art, easily accessible and enjoyable in daily life, could provide a mental stimulus during these unprecedented times." Through the "robustness" and "precision" common to street art and TUDOR, the spirit of moving forward like the hands of a clock, even in difficult circumstances, is expressed by three graffiti artists.
The participating artists are CMK gallery, Suiko & Fate, and Titifreak. Furthermore, actor Yosuke Kubozuka serves as the "Street Art Curator," documenting the artists' creative process at each location. Videos produced under his direction and editing will be released on his official Instagram account (
