Seiko Presents ‘Incredibly Specialized Watch Exhibition 2’

by

After the triumph of its first edition in 2024, Seiko has unveiled a fresh display at their Seed location in Harajuku. Titled Exceptionally Focused Watch Exhibition 2, this new event will highlight innovative designs from six internal designers, each showcasing exceptionally focused watches tailored to particular users such as DJs, ninjas, along with fictional characters like Santa Claus and vampires.

As a club DJ enthusiast, I’m captivated by this Specialized Watch designed specifically for us. Its extraordinary design, using the “infinity mirror” technique, gives off an enchanting illusion of infinite space, leaving my audience mesmerized. Under the cover of darkness, this watch transforms dynamically, revealing a dial that harmoniously blends Lumibrite and fluorescent paint, making time readings from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. visible in the black light environment – perfect for keeping the rhythm going all night long!

As a sneaky gamer, I’ve got my hands on the Ninja Stealth Watch – a timepiece engineered for stealth. It doesn’t require a peek to tell the time; instead, it lets me read the hours with ease even in pitch-black conditions, thanks to its sliding cover and tactile hands and hour markers. The strap is made from soft deer leather, inspired by traditional Japanese archery gloves, and it can be easily adjusted to fit my arm size for a perfect fit.

This unique watch, the Vampire-Exclusive Timepiece, caters to individuals who prefer the night. Its dial shows time exclusively from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., making it perfect for those with nocturnal habits. The watch also boasts a rotating bezel adorned with colorful gemstones, symbolizing the elapsed hours since the last feeding, while the daytime hours are dimly displayed using semi-transparent ink to minimize confusion during the day.

Hey there, fellow egg enthusiast! Ever found yourself struggling to get that perfectly soft or hard-boiled egg every time? Well, let me introduce you to my new favorite kitchen gadget – the Egg-Boiling Watch! Designed specifically for us boiled egg lovers, this watch helps ensure your eggs are cooked just right. The case is crafted from a unique blend of plastic and 10% eggshell, while its dial has a stylish gradient design. To top it off, the strap is eco-friendly, made partially from eggs. So not only will you get the perfect boiled egg, but you’ll also be contributing to a greener planet!

This Santa Claus’ Exclusive Timepiece boasts Arabic numbers from 7 pm to 6 am, engineered for effortless nighttime gift distribution. Its supple, gently contoured design mirrors Santa’s soothing demeanor, while a star-shaped GMT hand enables him to read time in various global time zones.

Lastly, let’s talk about the Girls’ Love Watch, which is uniquely designed to amplify excitement using a “flower fortune-telling” mechanism. As the disc spins, it reveals either “LOVE me” or “LOVE me NOT.” The hand, adorned with a delicate flower petal pattern, adds a touch of charm, while the domed glass refracts light to maintain the mystery of one’s feelings. This charming and considerate design is intended to bring happiness and support to young girls in love, with a pink leather strap serving as a delightful secret shared only by its wearer.

Each timepiece showcases the designers’ ingenuity and the brand’s dedication to advancement, continually challenging the norms within horology. This exhibit runs through February 16 and is free to attend. For further details, visit the official website of the exhibition.
