Have
you ever heard of a terrier who gets up in the morning, makes a soy
latte, and then complains to the missus: “Yesterday I chased too many
cats and possums. They’re all getting faster while I’m getting older and
overworked. It sucks to be a dog. Today I’m taking it easy.”
Yesterday, literally minutes after we completed a review of Grand Seiko,
a delivery arrived on the bench: a humble Seiko 5. And at that very
moment I realised we had another little rat in the backyard to rip
apart. Life is just amazingly good.
Of course, you are not naïve. You know that all this surge of energy and
enthusiasm has its purpose: to prove that you can teach an old dog new
tricks. And have we learned a lot.
That Seiko 5 required the same level of research as a Daytona, the same
seriousness as a gold Moonwatch, and the same sense of fairness we apply
to the grandest of all Seikos. The end result is a light-hearted video
presentation that is also seriously fact-based, loaded with details that
only decades behind the watchmaker’s bench can produce.
To the lazy, bloated YouTube influencers-go chase your tails. This is how it’s done.
Now press play and see what a humble Seiko 5 looks like when examined
through a watchmaker’s loupe rather than a marketing brochure. 🔍⌚
