As I hear people say that not even the most exclusive Swiss watch makers are making their own clock works these days I am happy to carry an automatic Seiko diver’s watch.
Japanese Seiko is one of the last manufacturers who are still making most of their components themselves, according to some, even the lubricants used in their mechanisms. That sounds fantastic today, when even different cars are cost-cuttingly built on the same chassis platforms; in a world where few truly dare to be unique it is harder to find distinction.
Surprisingly enough we still do in the land of the rising sun. Sayonara.
