Hanshin Umeda brings independent watchmaker Pim Koeslag to its World Watch Day, with a ¥39.6 million watch for sale
Hanshin Umeda's main store is bringing CVDK chief Pim Koeslag in person to its annual World Watch Day, alongside a four-brand sale topping ¥39.6 million — a concrete sign of how far a Japanese department-store watch floor will go to court serious collectors beyond the mainstream Swiss maisons.
Hanshin Umeda's main store said CVDK (Christiaan van der Klaauw) chief executive Pim Koeslag will appear in person at its annual World Watch Day event on October 10, alongside a linked sale of watches from four independent and haute-horlogerie brands topping ¥39.6 million, according to a release dated September 30.
