Watchlords

“ Welcome to the second installment of “The Art of Time,” w&w’s ongoing series exploring iconic designers within the watch world. Last time, we discussed the value of the outsider’s perspective in watch design through the lens of Giorgetto Giugiaro. While a non-watch designer can breathe individuality and life into a piece, there’s also something to be said for a unifying brand vision. Having a unique, easily identifiable look for all watches across a line can be a great asset to brand identity. It helps to give the overall line a feel of quality and care, and it’s the kind of thing that can propel a company to great success.”

Perfection...

This is a big chunk of the DaVinci code for Seiko and to some degree other Japanese watch brand who occasionally reference the design cues

Also notes that original Grand Seiko and King Seiko are the laboratory where these design principles were adhered to most strictly

Talking of other Japanese watch brands, I've been eying up some classic vintage Citizens recently, and hope to snag a couple.

Citizen Astrodea.
The dial rotates anticlockwise in time with the stars, brilliant complication.

Just when you think you've seen everything. That's wild, shame you missed it.
