Watches

Vendome Aoyama ATAQ0052PGPQ

Worn by Mai Shiraishi as Shuko Takakura. Shuko Takakura, the researcher at the Domon appraisal office who can tell when people are lying, wears a watch Arekiru describes as gold-toned on a greige strap in episodes 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11. Vendome Aoyama's costume-cooperation credit for the series lists this watch, ATAQ0052PGPQ, among the pieces it supplied, without naming the wearer; Arekiru and Konta Watch Blog both place the same reference on Takakura.

ete Solar Watch Square

Worn by Mai Shiraishi as Shuko Takakura. In the final episode, 11, Takakura wears a different watch, described by Arekiru as gold on beige and identified as ete's Solar Watch Square. ete sells that model in yellow gold with a white mother-of-pearl dial and in pink gold with a greige dial, and Arekiru gives no item number, so the execution is unresolved. The identification rests on Arekiru alone; Konta Watch Blog has no post on it. (Arekiru)
