A collaboration between German watchmakers and Japanese craftsmen! Independent watchmaker Thomas Ninklitz x Ernest Gallery
- 07.11 Wed -07.17 Tue
- Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building 8F Isetan Men's Project

Thomas Ninklitz, based in Nuremberg, Germany, is an expert in watch restoration while also making his own timepieces . With an annual production of only about 100 watches, each one is handcrafted, offering a unique, handmade feel that sets them apart from mass-produced items by large manufacturers.
Among his flagship models, the "Grand Seconds," the special order models for Japan feature Breguet numerals and an onion-shaped crown, giving them a more classic design compared to the standard models.
Grand Second Special Edition
486,000 yen
Stainless steel case: 42mm diameter, manual winding, Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building exclusive model.
While the "Grand Second" usually comes with an embossed calfskin strap, this limited edition model features an alligator strap with a unique curved shape known as the "Glamorous Shape," crafted by Ernest Gallery. The strap's color scheme is primarily black, with green, red, and blue accents inspired by the Black Watch pattern, a symbol of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building —a special design available only through this order.
Furthermore, on Saturday, July 14th, a special order event will be held with Yoshinori Kanamori, the owner and craftsman of Ernest Gallery, who created the straps for this project. Mr. Kanamori, who has a workshop in Shimokitazawa, learned strap making through self-study and creates straps by incorporating his own unique techniques.
On the day of the event, you will have the special opportunity to order your own custom-made belt by consulting with Mr. Kanamori and choosing from a variety of materials such as calfskin, cordovan, and alligator.
