Swiss mechanical watch maker CVSTOS will be holding a special event at Matsuzakaya Nagoya, showcasing its latest 2021 watch collection and the SUPER GT race car sponsored by ARTA. The event will run from August 25th to 30th. Additionally, on the 28th and 29th, ARTA's Aguri Suzuki and Keiichi Tsuchiya will be taking to the stage for a talk show exclusive to the brand, where they will discuss their enthusiasm for the SUPER GT 2021 international motor race, which features top drivers from Japan and abroad, their thoughts on racing, and how to style a CVSTOS watch.

CVSTOS reflects the three philosophies of "high-tech," "sporty," and "elegant" in the creation of mechanical watches. Since the brand's launch in 2005, the "Chrono Series," inspired by super sports cars, has been its flagship collection and has continued to sponsor motorsports. Currently, the brand sponsors ARTA, a SUPER GT racer, as well as offering limited-edition collaborative watches and the men's wear brand "ARTA CVSTOS."

During the event, the latest collaborative watch, the "Challenge Chrono III-S ARTA Limited Edition," will be on display, along with the new CVSTOS collection, the "Challenge Sealiner P-S Automatic," featuring unique technology. The HONDA NSX GT3, currently competing in SUPER GT, will also be on display, providing a rare opportunity to see a racing machine up close. Visitors can also see "ARTA CVSTOS" apparel, which offers a luxurious style with functional yet beautiful details.

In addition, on the 28th and 29th, ARTA General Manager Aguri Suzuki and Executive Advisor Keiichi Tsuchiya will be on stage for a talk show where the two, who have just finished SUPER GT Round 3 (held August 21st-22nd) at Suzuka Circuit, will discuss a wide range of topics, including their enthusiasm and thoughts for this year's races and how to wear a CVSTOS watch.
