Preconceptions about Scandinavian design overturned?
-From your point of view, how do you feel about these two types of designs from a fashion point of view?
Fountain:I think "Grainen" can be worn by people of all ages, and the stainless steel bracelet gives it a slightly more formal look. . "Ries" is stylish with its second hand in a subtle color.
Komatsu:If you were Izumi, how would you match it?
Fountain:Skagen watches are simple, so I honestly thought they wouldn't go well with a design-driven styling. However, both "Grainen" and "Reese" have a playful design, so I have the impression that they can be easily matched with any outfit.

-The "wreaths" in particular have little design accents, such as changing the color of the second hand.
Fountain:Because of the Scandinavian design, I thought it would only suit people who wear simple clothes, but that was not the case at all. I think it goes well not only with shirts, but also with casual items like sweatshirts.
Komatsu:I have a preconceived notion of Scandinavian design itself as minimalist, so I can sympathize with the image that it goes well with simple outfits. But when I actually look at the items from "Skagen," the designs are not too flashy, so they are easy to match and playful. There are many designs other than these that interest me as well.
Fountain:. it's amazing how simple they are, yet they have different designs with different personalities.
Nakajima:Indeed . . it has been 34 years this year since the brand was founded, but the lineup of designs is extensive.
Fountain:I don't care how many bottles you have.
-If you had to choose one of these, which one would it be?

Fountain:. this color of "Reese's". I like the modern one-tone with the yellow accent on the second hand .
Komatsu:Easy to use for coordination.
Fountain:It is easy to match from a slightly cuter look to a more casual outfit. Charcoal is solid and lighter than all black.

Nakajima:I have "Grainen Ultra Slim" , so if I had to choose from "Reese's", this would be the one. I often wear a jacket because I also have business meetings, and I often wear "Grainen Ultra Slim" in my daily work , but I would like to wear it for casual occasions.
Fountain:It's a fresh color scheme.
Nakajima:Yes . The blue of the dial gives it a fresh look, and I think I will be excited when I wear it. . I also like leather accessories, so I would like to enjoy aging the leather strap.

Komatsu:I saw Mr. Nakajima wearing it , and I wanted to get the "Grainen Ultra Slim". The charcoal color is cool and austere. . I'm especially interested in the thin case.
Nakajima:Really, it's so light that you forget you're wearing it. The mesh bracelet is soft and fits your wrist.
Komatsu:It may be worn without discomfort. The circular design of the indexes is also stylish. Combined with its thinness, this watch can be worn like an accessory.
Fountain:I like that the mesh bracelets are infinitely resizable and easily adjustable. I like to loosen it up a bit during the sweaty season.
-I'm also glad to know that "Skagen" is in a price range that I can easily wear.
Komatsu:I thought that only one watch that I was particular about was enough, but at this price, I would like to expand my repertoire.
Fountain:I thought it was important to be casual. It is nice to buy a watch that is carefully selected, but it also needs to be easy to use on a daily basis.
