Seiko - Japanese watchmaking
In 1881, Kintaro Hattori had the vision to create the Seiko brand with the ambition of setting itself apart in the watchmaking industry. The company's innovative spirit and drive paved the way for numerous technological advances in watchmaking. In particular, it revolutionized the industry by launching the world's first quartz watch, the Seiko Astron, in 1969. In 2012, Seiko developed the world's first GPS solar watch. Today, the brand offers a wide range of watchmaking products, from robust diving watches to elegant timepieces and luxurious Grand Seiko watches.
Kawaii watches
Seiko has earned its reputation as the official timekeeper of various sporting events, including the Olympic Games, while embodying the Japanese essence in its communications. The brand is also frequently present in the world of cinema. For example, the Seiko "Tuna" watch has made several appearances in films from the James Bond franchise, while the Seiko "Aliens Ripley" watch became famous following its role in James Cameron's film "Aliens". At MATY, we're highlighting this iconic brand so that you too can shine like a star.
"Always one step ahead of the others".
The motto of Seiko's founder, Kintaro Hattori, has inspired the company throughout its journey in the world of watchmaking. This vision embodies a tireless quest for precision, utility and beauty. The Japanese brand works tirelessly to reaffirm this commitment and reinforce the emotional appeal of its watch creations. Beyond innovative technology and design, Seiko aspires to create watches that resonate deeply with their customers, enriching their daily lives by generating joy and excitement. Their new mantra, "Go forward. Touch hearts", fully resonates in MATY.
Japanese elegance
In the Land of the Rising Sun, people are renowned for their appreciation of minimalist art and precise detail. Seiko Presage confirms this trend with simple, aesthetic designs. The brand's watches feature clean lines, geometric shapes and subtle colors, each carefully balanced. The meticulous choice of nuances and textures arouses desire while evoking a sense of chic and voluptuousness. These watches embody a true odyssey towards harmony and connection with nature.
The presage collection
Seiko's collections focus more on performance. The Presage is a more elegant, dressy range. Their design is inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Some of them feature horological complications such as moon phases, power reserve functions or complex date displays. These are luxury watches, more affordable than other watch brands. They are also highly reliable and innovative. The Seiko Presage collection is the epitome of Japanese rigor.
Craftmanship Series: a tribute to Japanese craftsmanship
The Craftmanship Series from the Seiko Presage collection is a series of watches that showcase traditional Japanese craftsmanship and high-level watchmaking skills. The series features sophisticated designs and meticulous details that reflect Seiko's commitment to excellence and attention to detail.
Sharp Edged Series: the modern watch
This series is characterized by sleek, modern case designs, with sharp angles and elegant lines. Sharp Edged Series watches offer a contrast between classic and contemporary elements, with sleek dials and cleanly contoured cases.
Coktail Time: the festive watch
This series of Presage watches is inspired by the art of mixology and cocktails. Their dials are often colorful, featuring elaborate patterns that recall the colors and textures of cocktails. Fine, shiny hour markers recall the stem of a glass. The hands are delicately curved for a dancing effect.
Style60's: the retro watch
The Japanese watchmaker pays tribute to the yéyé years with these watches inspired by the Crown Chronograph model launched by Seiko in 1964. The colors take on an earthy aspect. Vintage brought up to date with faceted hour-markers and sharp, geometric hands. A collection that never ceases to recall a history. That of watchmaking traditions and the passing of time.
Japanese Garden: the complex watch
Seiko Presage pays homage to the complex, uncluttered beauty of Japanese gardens with impeccably finished automatic watches featuring dials that evoke the hue of sand. In a direct tribute to nature, these exceptional watches are crafted in polished steel. The domed sapphire crystal recalls the force of the elements, making this timepiece a veritable ode to flora and fauna.
Seiko Presage and its limited editions
What a joy it is to own a rare object such as a Seiko Presage watch, which can be handed down from generation to generation and become a real treasure. This is all the more true when it's a limited edition, likely to represent a long-term investment. These watches, produced in limited quantities, are therefore rarer and more sought-after. For example, the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series SARX069 with its rice-grain pattern dial, the Seiko Presage Urushi Byakudan-Nuri Limited Edition SPB085 with a hand-lacquered dial using the traditional Urushi technique, or the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time "Martini" Limited Edition SRPD36J1, created in collaboration with the famous Japanese bartender Hisashi Kishi, illustrate the brand's commitment to innovation, with models that are always different. Each watch is numbered, making it a collector's item in its own right.
The alliance of pink and brown
MATY's favorite? An automatic watch in pink steel and brown leather. This Seiko Presage ladies' watch is the perfect gift for a loved one. Delicate and elegant with its white dial, it features powdered pink steel contours. A brown leather strap enhances the look. This is an exceptional timepiece for classic yet authentic women who love luxury and personalization. To be worn on the wrist every day, this watch is a little jewel of technology. What's more, it's water-resistant to 100 m.
An elegant blue dial
Seiko Presage showcases a superb variety of blue dials, whether sky blue, navy blue or cobalt blue. Men can choose from a vast selection of exceptional watches. Often paired with a black leather strap or silver-plated steel, this collection is elegant and refined. Perfect for unveiling at the end of a light-colored shirt sleeve, accompanied by bold cufflinks, these watches offer a touch of sophistication. The deep blue of these refined tocantes recalls the pantone of modern suits. They're ideal for an ultra-chic look when worn with dressy clothes. However, they also pair perfectly with Sunday jeans and sneakers, for a more casual but still delicate effect.
Leather or steel?
Leather straps tend to give a watch a more classic, elegant appearance, while offering superior long-term comfort as the material takes the shape of the wrist. Steel bracelets, on the other hand, can give a more modern, sporty look, while being more rigid and solid, perfect for an active lifestyle. In both cases, Seiko Presage offers quality models. The height of luxury lies in the possibility of adapting the jewel to the situation of the day.
Brown leather
A brown leather strap is both original and fashionable, and at MATY we love these trends that are a little out of the ordinary. Seiko Presage offers a superb model that exudes undeniable visual warmth. Brown, as a neutral color, goes well with many other colors. Whether over a beige suit, with linen pants in summer, or even for a relaxed poolside vibe with a straw hat. This original shade highlights the details of your jewel's dial and case, making it a unique product that also enhances you.
