LOW BEAT vol.23 (CARTOP MOOK) A Look Back at Japanese-Made Wristwatches with Epoch-Making Pieces Issue No. 23 focuses on "Japanese-made watches" primarily manufactured from the 1950s to the 70s. Japan, a latecomer in the watch industry, rapidly improved its technological capabilities after the war and achieved remarkable development. During this period, wristwatches bearing the title "Japan's first" were born one after another. This special feature highlights these epoch-making Japanese pieces by genre, introducing their historical background and appeal, as well as providing guidance on how to buy them in each genre. There's plenty more to see. Other highlights include "Daytona Laudation," which focuses on Rolex's masterpiece chronograph, which became a major topic of conversation with the release of new models in 2023, the 60th anniversary of its birth, and "Antique Disassembly," which features Jaeger-LeCoultre's Memovox. In addition to these in-depth features, popular series such as "Rethinking JAPAN WATCH" by Yoshihiko Honda, known for writing the expanded edition of "Japanese-Made Wristwatches," and "A Pictorial Book of Watch Enthusiasts' Pride and Joy" are also included. This issue is packed with fulfilling content. ⬜️Notes on Out-of-Print Items * Prices are generally set at approximately ¥100 less than the lowest price on Amazon (as of the time of listing, including shipping). * Please understand that these are old items and may have damage, and enjoy them as reference materials.
