Nozomi Sasaki entered the entertainment industry after being scouted by Weekly Young Jump
Nozomi Sasaki's debut dates back to 2005, when she was working as a shop clerk at a fashion building (now Akita Opa) in her hometown of Akita Prefecture, and was scouted by staff from Weekly Young Jump.
In the magazine's release the following year, she appeared in "Galcon JAPAN," a section showcasing beautiful amateur girls from all over Japan, and won the first grand prize. She then went on to win the grand prize in the "2nd Princess PINKY Audition" for "PINKY," a magazine aimed at women in their late teens and early twenties. Nozomi Sasaki's overwhelming beauty, popular with both men and women, especially among young people, quickly became a hot topic, and at the time she received offers from over 10 talent agencies.
In 2017, she married Ken Watanabe of the comedy duo Unjash, whom she met through a mutual friend, and has continued to expand her horizons ever since. Sasaki Nozomi, who works in a variety of genres as an actress, singer, and fashion model, was selected as the winner of the Japan Jewelry Best Dresser Awards in the 30s category in 2022, and in an interview she spoke about her experience ordering a diamond ring as a treat for herself.
Nozomi Sasaki's favorite watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
The watch that Nozomi Sasaki wears, which can be seen in her Instagram posts, is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso.
Jaeger-LeCoultre's Reverso comes in a variety of models for both men and women. It's believed that Nozomi Sasaki chose the Reverso Classic Medium Duetto. The Reverso was originally designed with a reversible case to protect the watch from the shocks of polo. This watch is a double-faced watch with a black dial on the other side.
It is believed that Nozomi Sasaki purchased the Reverso Classic Medium Duetto around April 2017, around the same time that her marriage to Ken Watanabe of the comedy duo Unjash was announced. Judging from the hashtag, it was not a gift, but rather a watch that Nozomi Sasaki herself purchased to commemorate a turning point in her life and to boost her motivation.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Medium Duetto
The watch is equipped with the in-house hand-wound movement, Caliber 854B, and is housed in a stainless steel case with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The dial features black printed numerals, a silver-gray finish with vertical satin lines, and guilloched engraving.
Manual winding (Cal. 854B). 19 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 42 hours. Stainless steel (40mm x 24mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 1,694,000 yen (tax included).
She may have chosen the watch after discussing it with fellow model and close friend Aya Omasa. While it's not often seen in her recent posts, she has frequently been photographed wearing it as a personal item during magazine shoots, and there are few photos of her wearing any other watch outside of events, suggesting it's a watch she really likes. Her choice of the Reverso, with its simple yet intelligent and elegant feel, and her determination to cherish it forever, reflects her kind personality.
