It seems like it was New Year's just a few days ago.
It looks like midsummer will arrive in Tokyo before you know it.
Mr. M visited us for the first time in late January this year,
It is the choice of a watch case at the perfect time.
Fateful encounters come out of the blue.
One afternoon, a phone call!
On the other end of the phone, Mr. M.
I'm sorry, this is sudden, but is there any time you can come in today?"
Originally, we do not accept same-day reservations.
On this day, there happened to be a change of schedule for a customer who had made a reservation.
There was just a vacancy! So we have accepted your reservation.
Thank you for calling at a GOOD time.
A few hours later, Mr. M came to the store immediately.
Mr. M looks relieved that he was able to make an appointment at the perfect time.
When we spoke with him, he told us that although he had been looking for a watch case for a long time,
It's hard to find something I could not find anything that I thought was "the one",
"I looked at a lot of stuff on the internet, but none of it really clicked, so I went to .......
If I was going to buy something, I wanted something I could cherish forever," he said.
This visit was exquisitely timed, though,
Actually, you've been checking out the Soulbird blog for a few months now.
The customer seems to have done a perfect preparation.
In fact, it is diverse.
The Ikebukuro workshop's showcase is lined with watch cases made of various woods.
We always have about 30 items ready to show you.
We are doing quite well!
I wish I could upload all the watch cases to the website...
After all, Soulbird is a small elite group.
Recently, we have received many orders from outside Japan,
France, USA, Netherlands, Israel, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Singapore, UK, etc. ....
But the level of translation software has improved dramatically compared to the past.
It has helped us a lot, but when we deliver fully ordered watch cases to customers around the world, we have to be very careful.
Every day I feel the need to be more thoughtful and creative.
The daily schedule includes
Delivery of the order to the customer is our top priority, and we will
We reply to inquiries, etc.
In the midst of all this, the completed watch case
Take a picture and send it to .......

to the task of
I feel like I have not been able to get around to it.
I have been given the excuse that
Still, I am a soulbird, always positive and trying as hard as I can.
Thank you so much to everyone around the world.
Customers who are far away and say, "I can't get there easily!
If you can focus on some points, we can take images and
We can also guide you.
Roughly this kind of budget! and I like white color! or "I like dark-skinned people! or something like that.
We have almost no problem with orders from overseas customers who don't speak our language, so there is no problem with this feeling.
If you are a resident of Japan, I think you will be almost all right.
Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Well, Mr. M. came to our store at the best time,
The first thing that came to my attention when I arrived at the store was the individual that I was interested in.
The wood is made of "horse chestnut," "walnut," "Siamese persimmon," "striped ebony," "Hawaiian koa," and so on.
The grain of the horse chestnut is beautiful. It looks very elegant."
Walnut also has a calm atmosphere,
Hmmm ...... I'm lost (laughs)."
Striped ebony is also good!
All kinds of good!
With so many choices, it is difficult to decide on one.
But for customers who have come all the way to our store.
The weight of it and that,
The grain of the wood changes depending on the angle, which is difficult to see in images and videos.
We recommend that you check it out as much as possible.
Fateful Encounters
Mr. M was looking at such a variety of tree species.
He was particularly attracted to the "Hawaiian koa wood" watch case.
"Wow, isn't this ...... amazing!"
Mr. M. shouts out.
I've never seen such beautiful grain. ......
Hawaiian koa wood also comes in a variety of pieces.
If the grain of the wood does not show up well
It can be used as a material for souvenirs from Hawaii.
Even at the airport in Honolulu.
Many of you may have seen them as key chains or other souvenirs.
Conversely, wood with intense grain is also a very high-grade wood used for furnishings.
Hawaiian koa wood has been raised in an intense environment.
It is also a special species that speaks to us as real wood grain.
It's a natural work of art. ......!"
Mr. M had also considered horse chestnut trees and Siamese persimmons as candidates,
The moment I picked up this Hawaiian Koa watch case,
It seems that feelings were greatly inclined.
Decision!
That said, Hawaiian koa wood watch cases are quite expensive.
I think any customer would be confused,
The rest is up to you to have a heart to heart conversation with yourself.
Can we really afford to spend that much on a watch case?"
"If you don't mind all kinds of things, you can pop on amazon, but ........
I heard a YouTuber say, "That YouTuber said that the watch case you recommend is .... Is it true?"
I know this is unrelated, but what are those commercials on YouTube, what are those ？？？？?"
"To begin with, those guys are stinky, and they're looking for a proper watch case. ....
I've been trying to do a lot of things and failing one after the other! I've been pooching a lot of stuff and failing one after another. ....."
To begin with, the only store in Japan that specializes in watch cases is Seoul Bird. .........
I mean, isn't Soulbird the only place in the world?"
And I was able to see the actual watch case and ..........
"They'll do maintenance afterwards and reupholster the interior leather. .......... It might be a relief!"
Because it's a proper watch and I want to put it in a proper watch case. .....
"...... Yes! If you think you're buying something that will last a lifetime, this is the only way to go."
I'm going to go with this one after all! I look forward to looking at it every day."
I don't know if there was a heart to heart conversation that
M chose a Hawaiian koa wood clock case with intense grain.
I'm fascinated by Hawaiian Koa~!
Thank you very much!
The watch cases produced by Soulbird are meant to last for a long time.
It is not just about storing watches,
Beauty as an individual.
Some customers see them as paintings or crafts.
I think it would be stylish to associate with such a sense of style.
Specifications.
Now that the body of the watch case has been decided, it is time to choose the leather for the interior.
Mr. M, who is mostly Rolex type, was planning to use green-colored leather.
This time, we try a slightly chic Mediterranean pastured lamb in beige "K133".
Now the specifications for a special watch case with a unique wood grain in the world have been determined.
Here is a commemorative photo with Mr. M's watch today.
Yes, yes!
In fact, this is the original material that was used in the production of this watch case,
I just happened to have some images left, so I'll let you know.
Wow!
From the top panel to the front side panels, we tried to create a wood grain that flows through the wood.
Several months have passed since your order was placed.
Delivery!
I am excited.
Delivery date for the Hawaiian koa wood watch case you selected.
We are sure that Mr. M is excited to come to the store for pickup, and the feeling is the same for Soulbird.
And here is the finished watch case!
Wow!
It's good!
And Mr. M's watch together.
It looked great and Mr. M was very pleased!
Thank you for coming all the way to our store.
Thank you very much!
And also, the precautions to be taken when using the watch case,
Interior leather maintenance, and when storing the watch wrapped around the cushion.
We will guide you on how best to store the product and complete delivery.
It took us several months to deliver the product after your visit at the good timing.
We are very happy that Mr. M was pleased, and Soulbird was very happy with the production process!
Later!
We received a picture of the clock stored by the customer!
It is full of lorega!
Rolexes of various references are snapping!
And the message!
Thank you very much for making this so beautifully done.
I immediately stored the clock.
Seeing the powerful grain of the wood frame lifts my spirits, and seeing the clocks in storage lifts my spirits even more.
When I placed my order, I had one bottle left over, but I bought a Tudor while I was waiting for it to be completed, so I filled it up.
We will ask for more clocks when we get more clocks."
Thank you very much.
And please take care of Soulbird again!
I will post it in the "Testimonials" section.
The Hawaiian Koa watch case that Mr. M chose was a special piece that deserved to be "a lifetime piece.
If you are not sure what kind of case is right for you, please contact Soul Bird.
We hope you will enjoy this one-of-a-kind watch case.
