Summary of Euro-Yen Exchange Rate Trends in 2025 - Impact on the Prices of Our Products -

Hello everyone.

This is Oda, looking at the Helmle clock that I have on display at home and thinking about what Christmas present I should get my daughter this year.

Have you decided on a gift for your loved one?

Now, regarding the subject of the title, as you all know, the euro-yen exchange rate fluctuated greatly in 2025, with the yen weakening from the 155 yen range at the start of the year to the 180 yen range .

当社では、ヘルムレ（Hermle）社製の置時計・掛け時計・グランドファーザークロックなどをユーロ建てで正規輸入しておりますが、為替相場の変動が国内価格に大きな影響を与える点について、改めてご案内申し上げます。

■ Even if the local price remains the same, the price in yen will increase

Fortunately, we have received word from Helmle that "the shipping price in euros will remain unchanged for the next six months."
However, purchasing prices in Japanese yen are heavily influenced by exchange rates , so if the yen continues to weaken, actual costs will rise.

We initially set our prices at 1 euro = 165 yen , but at the current exchange rate (around 180 yen), import costs will increase as follows even for the same product.

■ Example of cost differences due to exchange rates

→ Purchases will increase by 15,000 yen (approximately 9%)

■ Future pricing

We do our best to maintain the current selling price as much as possible.
Depending on future exchange rates, we may revise prices from our next purchase .

There are some products that we can offer at the current price before the price change is implemented, so
If you are considering a particular model, we encourage you to contact us and purchase it as soon as possible .

■ Summary

• Shipping prices from Helmle will remain unchanged for the time being (for six months)

• However, import costs will rise due to the weak yen

• We will maintain the current price as much as possible, but the price may change when we next receive the product.

We will continue to strive to provide genuine imported products with a focus on quality at reasonable prices.
We kindly ask for your understanding.
