Masamasa Hirota, editor-in-chief of the watch magazine Chronos Japan, hosts the radio show "BEST ISHIDA Presents Chronos Japan Tick Tock Talk♪" on TOKYO FM. This time, we will be introducing the after-talk from the episode featuring comedian Magical Lovely Murakami.
The reason why Magical Lovely Murakami likes unusual watches
Masamasa Hirota, editor-in-chief of the watch magazine Chronos Japan, hosts the radio program "BEST ISHIDA Presents Chronos Japan Tick Tock Talk♪." The show features deep and passionate discussions with watch-loving guests. Through stories about their encounters with watches and their favorite watches, the show unravels the personalities and life stories of the guests.
Our guest this time is Murakami from Magical Lovely, a comedian active at the forefront of his field. He is actually a secret watch enthusiast, owning an IWC Portugieser Chronograph, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, and an A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1.
We will delve into the aesthetic sense and lifestyle behind Murakami's watch choices. The first IWC he bought, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso he chose upon his marriage, and the A. Lange & Söhne he received when he won the M-1 League. All of these choices stand out from the typical "comedian's watch history."
In the video, he talks about "why he didn't choose a Rolex," "how he chose the two-hand Reverso," and "the background behind his choice of a Lange 1 with a moon phase." His rebellious spirit of "wanting to choose a watch that no one else has" and his self-expression as a comedian can be seen here and there.
The conversation also touched on topics such as "what watch I want right now," "why I want to buy back my old Speedmaster," and style philosophy, such as "thin and elegant even for divers."
A watch chosen not to show off, but for oneself. "A watch is a tool to praise oneself," says Murakami, and many watch lovers will surely agree.
