What’s one item that you
cannot part with?
My timepiece is irreplaceable in my heart—a Rolex 36mm Datejust, reference 116200, with the distinctive “roulette” date. It remains an invaluable keepsake, as it was my first automatic watch and holds a special significance for me as a memento of my son’s birth. For me, this timepiece symbolizes exceptional craftsmanship and horological precision, cherished memories and the perpetual journey of life.

What’s something you’re looking to buy at the moment?
I’m on the hunt for my second watch, and this time I’m looking for something a little more militant—a tool watch. The Rolex Explorer II 40mm is at the top of my list, preferably with a black dial.

Do you shop more online or in person?
While I shop online more frequently, it takes a truly exceptional retail experience to entice me out of the comfort of my home. There’s an undeniable allure to the nuance and storytelling accompanying browsing products in person. There’s a connection beyond a simple transaction—a shared appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship behind the clothes I am sifting through.
While I may prefer the convenience of online shopping, these serendipitous interactions and the added layer of storytelling truly elevate my retail experience. It’s like discovering a hidden gem amidst a sea of options, a moment of connection that can’t be replicated through pixels on a screen.

What city has the best shopping?
What kind of items do you buy when traveling?
Tokyo is a treasure trove of extraordinary retail experiences across all levels, consistently delivering unmatched shopping encounters. The moment I set foot in Beams for the first time, I was astounded by the environment and exceptional service provided by the staff.
I have a thing about buying socks; for some reason Kapital is always my go-to brand. Their socks are the pinnacle in quality and comfort, and capture a unique sense of BOHO-CHIC that resonates with me.
