[Interview video] Listen to soccer commentator Tetsuo Nakanishi's passionate talk about watches, starting with a "hand-wound Daytona" he bought 30 years ago and becoming obsessed with watches!

Masamasa Hirota, editor-in-chief of Chronos Japan, is the host of the radio program "BEST ISHIDA Presents Chronos Japan Tick Tock Talk♪." The 12th guest was soccer commentator Tetsuo Nakanishi, and we are pleased to present the after-talk video.

The watch industry is evolving so much that I feel like we'll see new watches emerge that break away from conventional concepts.

　"Chronos Japan Edition Tick Tock Talk♪" began airing on TOKYO FM on July 1, 2023. This program will feature an after-talk with guests after the recording!

　Our guest this time is Tetsuo Nakanishi, a highly-fancied commentator in the world of soccer. He first became interested in collecting watches 30 years ago, around 1992, when he made his professional debut, with a hand-wound Daytona that he bought for 70 yen (a price that seems unbelievable). He then became interested in mechanical watches, such as the Cartier Pasha, the IWC Portugieser Chrono, the Franck Muller Casablanca, and Bell & Ross, and became addicted to watches.

　Contrary to his calm impression, Nakanishi is passionate when it comes to choosing watches. Although his approach isn't as logical as soccer commentary, his surprisingly passionate selection of watches is sure to resonate with mechanical watch lovers everywhere.
