It is viewed with mistrust, perhaps even disdain tinged with nationalism. Unlike the Swiss industry, comprising myriad types of contributor, Japanese watchmaking is virtually embodied by a single company: Seiko. During a workshop visit lasting several days, the company recently revealed its many and varied facets. From the quartz watch costing 200 CHF.- to the minute repeater, of which only five models are made every year, the group offers a plethora of products, manufactured according to very different approaches and co-existing under a single umbrella.
