Profile of Shun Horiuchi


Illustration by Mikio Ando

Born in 1968, he has been a watch enthusiast for 30 years, owning a wide range of timepieces, from Swiss-made watches, primarily Jaeger-LeCoultre, to domestic brands like Seiko, and even independent Japanese microbrands, while deepening his knowledge of timepieces. He began working as a watch writer in 2021. Based on his own research, he is currently writing a lengthy article explaining his entire collection, including the lineage of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master, which he is eagerly awaiting for publication. He also has many hobbies outside of watches, including racing cars, roasting his own coffee, and listening to recommended music.
