The long-awaited special feature mook on Seiko has finally been released.
"JAPAN VINTAGE SEIKO Limited Cover"
The author is Yoshihiko Honda of BQ, whom we have had the pleasure of working with for many years.
It is no exaggeration to say that when it comes to vintage Seiko watches, he is the expert,
one of the world's leading charismatic watch dealers.
In addition to his deep knowledge and insight into watches, especially Seiko,
he has been writing columns on vintage Seiko models for many years,
and has now released a new book.
Following the books on Seiko and Japanese-made watches by the now legendary "Tombo Publishing,"
he published "The Encyclopedia of Japanese Watches" in 2022.
This time, it not only features Grand Seiko and King Seiko,
but also covers a wide range of products from the immediate post-war period, such as Super and Unique,
to sports models and collector's items.
It is an excellent book that allows you to learn about many vintage Seiko models in one volume.
While you can now obtain all kinds of information by using the internet,
there are many aspects of vintage watches that cannot be scrutinized by information alone,
and there are many discoveries to be made from discussions with experts.
However, opportunities to meet highly specialized individuals like Mr. Honda are rare,
so I truly feel that there is much to be learned from this one book.
Our shop has been handling vintage Seiko models since its opening.
Especially regarding Grand Seiko, I always believed that we were able to confidently sell them thanks to Mr. Honda's help.
The version we obtained at our store has a limited cover,
and the regular version also seems to be sold on the sales website.
The charm of vintage Seiko models, which cannot be fully conveyed in product descriptions or blog posts,
should be immeasurably transmitted through this single book.
Some past books are said to be at premium prices,
so we recommend purchasing this while you can get your hands on it.
