The year 1960 was a turning point for Japanese watches.
In this year, from Seiko to Japan,
No, the world's best wristwatch "Grand Seiko" will be announced.
After the war, it was revived from the ashes,
In the 1960s, production of products for the world began to flourish.
This 1960s was a historical period in Japan.
And we will release products that will amaze the world.
Speaking of motorcycles, it's the Honda CB750K that was announced in 1969.
It was the opportunity for me to become interested in motorcycles,
It was one of the bikes I wanted to ride when I became an adult.
Vintage bikes have been stolen a lot these days.
Even someone with a little knowledge can easily start the engine.
Considering what happened, I had no choice but to give up on it.
On the other hand, watches are almost never stolen while you are wearing them.
It's easy to store, and if you take care of it properly, you're unlikely to lose it.
Perhaps because of this, over the past few years,
The passion for vintage watches is not limited to Japan.
It has become more popular all over the world than expected.
The popularity of foreign brands is nothing new.
Japanese watches have definitely been the hottest thing in the last few years.
Among them, Japan's highest peak, Grand Seiko, is praised overseas even more than in Japan.
Many collectors are now posting on their SNS as well.
However, as popularity increases, so does the price.
The price of Grand Seiko 1st has also risen higher than before,
It is no exaggeration to say that it is now a coveted watch.
For several years, I thought I wanted one too.
Needless to say, I feel bitter about missing out on the opportunity to buy products that put our customers first.
However, although Grand Seiko is the highest peak in Japan,
The good thing about Japanese-made products is that even if they are ``cheap,'' they never skimp on quality.
Personally, I don't need Grand Seiko to find it attractive enough.
I think it's the Crown Special that arrived today.
The Crown Special went on sale in 1961, the year after Grand Seiko was announced.
Once upon a time, Seiko's high-end models Marvel, Chronos, and Crown existed.
Each progresses to a new stage,
Marvel became Road Marvel and became Seiko's long-selling model.
Chronos became the Chronos Special, which was released in 1961 and lined up with the top-of-the-line King Seiko produced by the Kameido factory.
The crown is the base of Grand Seiko's movement.
It will transform into a Crown Special with the same specs as Grand Seiko.
However, the Crown Special is positioned as a cheaper version of Grand Seiko.
Grand Seiko was produced without regard to profitability,
Because it was a masterpiece, the best watch that could compete with overseas products,
It seems that it became popular as a luxury watch that was easy to obtain even for the general public, with a refined finish and process.
However, it has a luxurious finish that does not give you any cheap feeling.
I think this is because the Crown was once a masterpiece that represented Seiko.
It is a watch that will satisfy even those who are new to domestic watches.
I can definitely recommend it with confidence.
You can feel the goodness of this kind of watch by
Is it because I'm getting older or is it just a sign of the times?
Anyway, I'm at an age where I can't even dress in a shiny way these days.
I want to solidify myself with something intellectual and atmospheric.
I'm already tired of being so aggressive (lol)
Wearing a watch like this and having tea at a cafe,
I'd be a cool adult if I could ride a CB750 around K4.
Well, that seems like it will be a while before that happens.
