Others who attended this ceremony include Jumbo Ozaki, the Japanese golf giant, and pro-wrestler Kenji Muto. They strutted the runway with their gleaming Yaermann & Stubi watches while they displayed them prominently on their wrists.
Besides, former Japan representatives of Miss Universe, singer Akira Nishikino and others wore Hysek watches to let those in attendance see the high-end timepieces.
Yaermann & Stubi was founded by golf lover Urs Yaermann and master watchmaker Pascal Stubi to create precision Swiss watches which can record golf scores. The company only produces about 1000 watches a year and all are handmade. Golf irons used by famous golfers such as Ian Woosnam and Seve Ballesteros have been melted down and are used to make some of the watchcases.
Hysek rose to prominence in 1997 when its Kilada models attracted much attention for their bold and innovative designs. The company expanded its sales channels to Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America as it went on to release its first tourbillon and grand complication models.
