I'll be happy to offer some thoughts and photos!

The Japanese watchmaking houses, I would argue, excel in technical innovation, case design, dial furniture finishing and machining. Seiko's Micro Artist studio also offer Dufour inspired movement finishing as seen in their Credor watches (I don't have any...
These are very nice pictures, as always!

I think you are touching on some of the key points! I would love to see your photograph of a few Credors sometime!

When i woke up for a toilet visit, this thing flashed to my brains, IWC pilot watch MK XX. This bad ass is dangerous, it would erase any other watch.
That Citizen reminds me of what I do like in GS.

A case with very defined edges, strong dial markers and sharpe hands. I do think that GS is spoiled sometimes by too much text on the dial. The photos your share here are the perfect example. The Citizen is just far cleaner. Here’s one of my Japanese, a r...
Here are some more pictures of my Japanese watches.

I had just added some of the dressier watches, no divers or others. The vintage GS which I favour did not have the hands which we all like in modern GS. However the case features, and the dial furniture tends to be what we do like (strong). ...
For sure there is a japanese style.

As there is a german style. The german style has it roots in history. After the fall of the wall, many brands, A Lange und Söhne at the head, reinvent german watchmaking taking inspiration from the past: three quarter plate, gold chatons, engravings... of...
The strange thing is we never see WHO is Seiko or Grand Seiko

Of course the workshops in Nagano and Morioka are documented and I have visited both. But the core of the company is quite under-cover, and they rely on the factories to produce the watches. But where and who are the people who set the design philosophy, ...
A good point Eric re GS.

The desire for global success may have diluted the design. I think this is why I’ve been so drawn to vintage GS and struggle to find a modern GS that sings to me.
Most excellent question!

It’s always been the attractive dials and they seem to be getting better and better. ...
