Seiko – Presage

In 2017 Seiko launched a new Presage collection inspired by the world of mixology. Colors and appearances of cocktail bars are an interesting source to design watches. This collection found its inspirations on cocktails made by Hisashi Kishi, the barman of the reputed Star Bar in Tokyo.

 

 

In Japanese Fujugeshiki means winter scene, and the eponymous cocktail made by Mr. Kishi in Ginza has that milky appearance you find after snow has fallen. Well, the dial of the new Seiko Presage has this same whitish allure given by a calm landscape on a winter day. The stem of a cocktail glass gives rise to the shape and slim, sharp design of the hour markers. Made on stainless steel, it has 40 hours of power reserve, 29 jewels, automatic movement (4R57), date, and it comes three versions, two for men (7000 pieces each) and one for women (5000 pieces).
