In accordance with its brand philosophy, Zenith also aspires to be a brand that stands by those who pursue their dreams, work hard towards them, and have the desire to make their dreams come true. Zenith, too, has achieved many great feats in watchmaking since its founding in 1865, but it is a brand that never stops challenging itself and continues to innovate.
Zenith strongly sympathizes with and supports the life that Ryoma Takeuchi has lived so far, and his continued challenge to reach the highest stars. His determination to achieve his dreams truly embodies the Zenith brand philosophy. "I fell in love with watches thanks to my father, and I've admired Zenith ever since I first visited a boutique as a student. I had wanted to own a genuine mechanical watch by the time I was about 30, so I was honestly very happy when I was asked to become a Zenith ambassador. In particular, the attitude of continuing to evolve, like the story of El Primero, overlaps with my dream of becoming an actor who can compete on the world stage. Recently, I've been appearing in dramas and movies related to time, so I feel like my encounter with Zenith was fate," says Takeuchi Ryoma.
Zenith CEO Julien Tornare congratulated Takeuchi Ryoma on his appointment as ambassador, saying, "Ryoma's life story is undoubtedly one of passion and boundless drive. Growing up, he was passionate about soccer, but failed. However, he eventually discovered his true calling was acting. Sharing the same vision that drives Zenith, Ryoma never gave up on his dream, and at the young age of 27, he has become one of Japan's leading young actors, making a name for himself in Japanese television and film. We are delighted to introduce Ryoma Takeuchi as a Friend of Zenith."
Ryoma Takeuchi, a known watch enthusiast, and Zenith will use various opportunities to communicate the value and appeal of the Swiss watch manufacturer Zenith to Japanese customers.
