Oh, and knives. Definitely knives.
In their higher end items, they tend to employ traditional craft techniques (zaratsu polishing; urushi lacquer to name but two) which are incredibly labour and skill intensive.
- baud147258 9y agoThank you. I'm currently wearing a Made in Japan Seiko watch, but not a high-end one ;).
- lb1lf 9y agoOh, don’t knock the Seiko - Seiko is a true manufacture - they do EVERYTHING in-house - movements, cases, dials, mainsprings - even lubricants. This in stark contrast to some of their Swiss, in general more prestigeous counterparts. (Do yourself a favour and have a look at the Grand Seiko website - they have some quite interesting info on their craft techniques. Not to mention that it is watch porn squared.
- baud147258 9y agoOh, I agree that Seiko is doing great watches, I've had mine for years and I truly appreciate wearing it.
