The Laurel, Japan's first wristwatch, was created in 1913 and laid the foundation of the wristwatch manufacturing industry in Japan.
Seiko Presage will introduce a limited-edition model for the 110th anniversary of Seiko wristwatches that pays homage to the Laurel and remains faithful to the original design.

Laurel

Kintaro Hattori, pek çok firmanın masa ve cep saati üretimine başlamasına karşın kol saati devrinin yaklaştığını öngörmüştü. Rakiplerinden bir adım önde olmak için bir kol saati geliştirmeye başlamıştı ve Seikosha, 1913’te Laurel’ı üretmeye başladı. Seikosha, Laurel’ın ardından kol saati üretim teknolojisinin her alanında çok büyük adımlar attı. Tasarımdan mikro boyutlu üretime ve saat üretiminde kullanılan makinelerin bileşenlerine kadar her alanda önemli ilerlemeler kaydetti. 2014 yılında Japon Mekanik Mühendisleri Derneği Laurel’ı, mekanik teknolojisine yaptığı katkılardan dolayı “Mekanik Mühendislik Mirası” olarak kabul etti.

Case & Crown

The new watch revives the form and design of the Laurel in every detail. The round case is carefully constructed to retain the elegance of the original while housing a modern automatic movement.
The large onion crown is also faithfully re-created, in keeping with the nostalgic feel of this special timepiece.

Dial & Hands

Just as with the 1913 original, the new creation features a pristine enamel dial and retro-styled blued hands. The dial’s depth and beauty, as well as its lauded stabile appearance over time, are made possible thanks to master craftsman Mitsuru Yokosawa and his colleagues at a workshop specializing in enamel production. The same characteristic Arabic numerals mark the hours, including the distinctive design of the number four.
