SEIKO Presage cloisonne limited model that was released in limited numbers last year and became a hot topic.
It is often featured in the media and wristwatch information magazines, so you probably don't see it anymore. ?
Such a valuable item is still available at the G-Time store! !

What is cloisonne ware?

It is a traditional Japanese technique that is produced by adding a glaze to metals such as gold, silver and copper and baking it at high temperature.
By the way, it is called enamel in English.
Because of its beautiful appearance, it is said that it has the beauty of the seven treasures (gold, silver, pearl, agate, ruri, mantis shrimp, and maie) in the Lotus Sutra.
Tracing the history of the technique, the origin dates back to BC Egypt.

Difficult to make About the production process

This time it was produced by Ando Cloisonné, which has inherited Owari cloisonne for over 130 years.
The first thing I would like you to imagine is that the watch dial is very thin .
Compared to the plates and vases that I usually make, it doesn't compare.
The thickness of the metal that forms the base of the dial is less than 1mm.
If it is too thin, the metal tends to warp during firing.
The craftsman says that was the most annoying thing.
As a result of various ingenuity and making full use of the skills of craftsmen in each process, such a wonderful watch was born.
You can feel the high level of traditional Japanese technology.

SEIKO offers good products at reasonable prices

If it's hard to make this...
It's all handwork, and if you're going through so many processes, it's very expensive, isn't it? It's limited...

Of course it's normal to think like this.

In fact, enamel dial watches are very expensive among European watch brands.
However, this cloisonné model is less than 200,000 for both the type with 3 hands + date display and the type with power reserve notation.
As expected, SEIKO offers good products at reasonable prices.
This limited model, we only have one in stock at our store.

Each one is limited to 2500 pieces, but since each one is made by hand, there are slight differences in the dents on the surface and each one is completely different. Please experience Japanese culture and history with this model.
