Suzuki Ryohei's stoic approach to acting is often the subject of much discussion.
Ryohei Suzuki is a stoic actor who is not afraid to lose or gain more than 10kg for a role. He is also known as a watch lover, so much so that he brings his own watch to the dramas he appears in. This time, we will introduce the IWC watches he wears.
Ryohei Suzuki is a watch enthusiast in his spare time. He is known to be a particular fan of IWC, and has even attended the SIHH in the past. The photo above shows him at the 2019 SIHH wearing an IWC Portugieser Automatic.
IWC "Portugieser Automatic"
Since its birth in the 1930s, the Portugieser has maintained its large case size and timeless, clean design codes. The railway minute movement "Chémin de Fer" used in the Portugieser is also an iconic design feature.
This model features a small second hand with a stop-seconds function and a power reserve indicator, making it a timepiece that embodies IWC's pursuit of practicality and design in a simple manner. Ryohei Suzuki graduated from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and has studied abroad in the United States, so he is fluent in English and seemed to have no trouble communicating at SIHH.
On the same day, British actor Dev Patel, who appeared in "Slumdog Millionaire," and others also visited the IWC booth, but I wonder if there was any interaction between the actors.
