It has taken me longer to get to writing this than I would have preferred, but it has given me time to lets these facts ruminate. In the part I article covering my trip I left off talking about the history of the brand and describing the watch making region.

Photo Report: The Seiko Credor Minute Repeater, Live At The Madison Avenue New York Boutique
Sure, Seiko makes a lot of watches, and as we reported not long ago you can get an absolutely astonishingly well made watch from them – mechanical, with one of the toughest and most reliable movements on the planet – for under a hundred dollars. When watch enthusiasts talk about Seiko, it’s often in terms of great bang for the buck, and indeed, Seiko deserves the reputation it has for offering excellence at just about every price point at which it makes watches.

I left feeling happy as ever and feeling official about being on the list.Last Friday I get a call letting me know that my collection is about to get one watch bigger!
