The Seiko Sharp Edge series - Japanese artistry meets Seiko functionality

 

“Since time immemorial, a central aspect of the Japanese sense of beauty has been simplicity.

To create objects or images of refinement and grace with few elements and no extraneous decoration has long been an aim of many Japanese craftsmen and artists and it is this aesthetic that lies at the heart of an important new series within the Presage collection.

In every detail, this new Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series is a powerful and fresh expression of Japanese artistry.”

Seiko uses a Japanese ‘Asanoha’ pattern - an angular geometric hemp leaf pattern, on its dial. This pattern captures the light and creates a contrasting display of light and shadow. It has a sharp case and bracelet with both brushed and polished surfaces which only accentuates the appeal of this series. The sharp edge series unique, bold design choices are usually reserved for Seiko’s big brother Grand Seiko but with Seiko dedicated to offering up a new range of higher end watches, this is the perfect middle ground.
