I’ve never been to Nobu but I hear their fish and chips are excellent. Designed for chef Nobu Matsuhisa, this ceramic beauty is scratchproof and heat resistant. It’s also kind of pretty.

The Nobu Special Sintra XXL Automatic was designed using the original shape and body of the Sintra XXL. Enhanced features include eight blue sapphires that are located at the 12,3,6 and 9 hour markers. The traditional Rado anchor is featured in silver, and is against a silver dial. The case-back is engraved with Nobu’s logo and signature and features the individual number of the timepiece. The suggested retail value is $3,100 each. A minimum contribution of $10,000 of the retail sales of the timepiece will be donated to Save the Children® which is the leading independent organization creating real and lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world.
