Lady Gaga's parody music video is a hot topic, what watch will Naomi Watanabe choose?

What kind of watches do top celebrities choose? Celebrity Watch Hunting is a serial column that takes a snapshot of celebrities from around the world and introduces them. This time, we'll be looking at the watch worn by comedian, TV personality, and actress Naomi Watanabe!

Naomi Watanabe

　Naomi Watanabe was born in Taiwan on October 23, 1987, and grew up in Ibaraki Prefecture. She was a member of the 12th class of Yoshimoto Kogyo's Tokyo NSC, and in 2008, she made her big break as the "Japanese Beyoncé." She is currently an Instagrammer with over 9 million followers, and is also attracting attention as a fashion icon.
　
　The photo we've picked out this time is one taken at Gucci's Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show. She's wearing a GG-patterned hooded dress, a metallic leather shoulder bag held by a clutch, and Flashtrek shoes on her feet. Let's take a look at the watch adorning her left wrist, complete with Gucci items. It's an all-pink Richard Mille model.

　Since its launch in 2001, Richard Mille has been known as the "F1 of watches" and has been called the "maverick of the watch industry." The watchmaker has dominated the luxury watch industry by realizing innovative designs using cutting-edge materials and technology.

　The watch worn by Naomi Watanabe is a model from the "RM 07-01 Ladies Automatic" series. It features a dial decorated with black onyx and diamonds, a pale pink bezel and case back, and an 18K red gold middle case. This combination of models has not been confirmed in Japan, and is thought to have been released in limited regions overseas.

　The pink bezel is made of ceramic, a material known for its light weight, high wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The material used for this model is TZP ceramic, which has an extremely fine, low-density crystal grain size and is highly scratch-resistant. It is a difficult material to cut, requiring diamond tools to mold, as diamond is one of the hardest minerals on Earth.
　The movement inside is the automatic caliber CRMA2, which has a power reserve of approximately 50 hours and high winding efficiency. It uses gears developed exclusively for ladies' watches to ensure sufficient torque transmission efficiency even for women's physical activities, and is equipped with a variable inertia rotor, an automatic winding oscillating weight that can be adjusted to suit the wearer's usage environment.

　A Richard Mille watch now requires a face value of at least four figures for a men's model. Although this is an extremely high price, it allows Richard Mille to pursue uncompromising development, allowing users to enjoy performance and rarity that cannot be found anywhere else. This is why Richard Mille is recognized as a "watch for successful people" and is supported by celebrities around the world.

　Naomi Watanabe stands out from other influencers with her unique blend of fashion and comedy. In recent years, she's been dubbed the "Queen of Instagram," drawing attention for her pop outfits and makeup. Watanabe's personal stylist is Ayano Otaki, a former member of the idol group Cheeky Girls. Watanabe is said to have immense trust in her. In 2016, Watanabe was named "Woman of the Year" by Vogue Japan and embarked on a world tour starting in New York. Just recently, on July 25, 2020, she made waves by parodying the music video for a collaboration between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, which even the original artist couldn't help but respond to, with fellow agency junior Yuriyan Retriever. We're excited to see what she'll do next.
