Traditionally in Japan ‘Nomunication hour’ – a hybrid of nomu (drink) and communication, is after 5pm – when it’s cocktail hour and time to talk things over. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection was inspired by this Japanese custom – with each timepiece named after drinks mixed by Hisashi Kishi, head bartender of Star Bar in Tokyo’s Ginza area.
With a dial designed to resemble the view of the drink through a glass, this timepiece is inspired by a “half and half” cocktail. Mr Kishi mixes Japanese ale and stout, to create a golden creamy classic – the dial of this piece captures the full-bodied, rich, smooth flavours.
A striking gold-coloured case and bracelet match its warm-toned dial whilst golden indices are complemented by dauphine hands and a date function at 3 o’clock. It has a three-fold clasp with a push button release, as well as a see-through exhibition case back.
This piece is 40.5mm in diameter and 11.8mm deep. It is powered by an in-house built 4R35 automatic calibre that is accurate to +45 / -35 seconds per day.
Seiko Presage: Timeless looks, precise mechanical timekeeping; minimalistic watch designs with a distinctly Japanese aesthetic.
