The editorial team at the watch magazine Chronos Japan is hosting a nerdy watch quiz! The quiz is currently available on YouTube's "webChronosTV," where participants must guess the brand and collection of a watch from a close-up video of a part of the watch. We encourage webChronos readers to join in the challenge along with the editorial staff. This time, the quiz focuses on tourbillons, with a total value of over 2 million yen.
Can you answer? A watch enthusiast quiz!

Chronos Japan is a watch magazine that was first published in 2005. Since its launch, it has delivered highly specialized articles based on original research to its readers.
The editorial department of this watch magazine is running a YouTube channel called "webChronosTV," where they are hosting the third Watch Maniac Quiz. The contestants are asked to guess the brand name and collection name of a watch by pressing the buttons quickly, based on close-up footage of the movement, dial, and other parts of the watch. The footage gradually fades in time, and the difficulty of the quiz decreases as time passes.
At what stage will the Chronos Japan editorial team, sometimes described as "only watch nerds," be able to answer? Last time, Editor-in-Chief Masamasa Hirota won every round, demonstrating his overwhelming strength that could be described as "Hirota Unrivaled." Will Deputy Editor-in-Chief Yukiya Suzuki and editorial staff member Chieko Tsuruoka be able to arrive at the correct answer before Hirota this time?
