Seiko

It's the image...

You need to see the watch in metal. The movement finishing is definitely right up there, at least equal to Dufour's. This has been mentioned numerous times by those who have inspected various examples of this watch. I have seen 3 examples of Eichi (both 1 and 2) and can confidently agree with that statement. But in term of 'prettiness', Dufour Simplicity have an edge. It exudes more warmth due to its Geneva stripes surface finishing. Eichi is much more quieter, but stunning, nevertheless. Eichi 2's bevels is super wide and ultra fine finished.
I would recommend you to try if you can get a piece from your local Seiko store to see in metal. Such pieces are hard to see again once Micro Art studio moves on to do other creation. The artisans in Micro Art Studio are extremely critical with their craft and the accuracy of their watch.

Such a beautiful time piece that you wouldn't want to leave your wrist. ...

It is so difficult!

To truly appreciate the quality of the hand finishing of this watch and it remains one of the hidden gems in the watch world. Totally understated and almost a bargain as I understand its finishing is at least as good as a Voutilainen and very close to a D...

excellent analysis

You know what? Seiko, like other big japanese firms, lacks of unique and distinctive design. it's not just a matter of mechanics, but mostly of aesthetics. If i could, i'd buy a Roger smith, Voutilainen, Hajime Asaoka instead of this seiko.

Aesthetic is Subjective.

For some of us, the 'nothingness', the 'blandness' in this piece is exactly what some collectors are looking for when seeking for the Simplicity. That makes watch collecting interesting. What you choose to wear on your wrist may or can reflects what you w...

Absolutely right

I really appreciate collectors like you, who buys watches following heart and reason. No doubt the Seiko is close to Dufour, but it's not my cup of tea. That's the reason that makes our passion so intense and vary

This NSX is very interesting . When I got this piece, I was thinking of Toyota Century.

Very nice and unusual timepiece. I particularly love the work on the barrel

Thank you for sharing here. I had not posted for a long time due to work commitment and an exhaustion from this hobby but I always visit the site This Eichi started my watch fever all over again. I first saw it in Tokyo Ginza store and I would say it's al...

It's about the passion.

Thanks for yours words and blessing. I would say Eichi 2 is so special and yet so dedicate to the person who owns it. I do not have the chance to see or owning any of Voutilainen and Dufour' watches I believe Eichi 2 will continue to stay at her best and...

May I politely?

salute you on your excellent taste in haute horlogerie! One day when you have the time, I am sure all of us would love to see a photo of your Eichi II, next to you Observertoire and Simplicity. A sight to behold!

Thank you...

By: CL : October 21st, 2016-08:53

Unfortunately I no longer have the Simplicities or the Observatorie to take a group image. This Eichi is closer to Simplicity than Observatoire, imho.

Wow thanks for sharing

I am, I'm afraid, underwhelmed

By: ant : October 21st, 2016-11:58

I love the honest simplicity and beauty of the dial but cannot have the same opinion of the movement finishing. Maybe it's my poor eyesight, maybe photographic distortions, but the edges around the mainspring (at about 9 o'clock and 10.30) look distinctly...
