So, what about Shimaji-san today...?
Shimaji: "Look at this!"
With that, he slowly showed the customer a watch with a galuchat strap.


Customer: "What is that? It's really cool!"

Shimaji: "This is a galuchat strap, a type of watch strap. I had it made to fit my watch."

Customer: "Girlsha?"


Shimaji : "Galuchat is leather made from the skin of a stingray. Stingray leather has long been called the 'swimming jewel' and has been highly valued as a luxury leather material. This glossy finish is really cool, isn't it?"

Customer: "Yes, it suits you very well, Mr. Shimaji. But, if it were my own watch..."

Shimaji : "That's not true. This strap is like framing a painting. It would be strange to buy a painting and not frame it, right? Framing it makes the painting stand out. And when you change the frame, even the expression changes. You can enjoy fashion even more. And above all, it's beautiful, isn't it?"

Customer: "I see. In that case, I'll bring a watch I'm not using at home!"
When Mr. Shimaji says it, I find myself strangely convinced. And I honestly think it's cool.


Galuchat straps are exclusively available at Salon de Shimaji. We create them to order based on your preferred colors and other specifications. Furthermore, a boutonniere in the same color combination is included. (The boutonniere can also be purchased separately at the Salon de Shimaji online store .)
If you have any unused clocks at home, why not try making one yourself?

There's a saying that goes, "If you see something beautiful, buy it without hesitation," so one can only imagine how many things have captivated Ms. Shimaji so far... The salon is decorated with Ms. Shimaji's collection, making it feel like a small art museum. Next time you visit, please take your time to admire them.
