Here is another crazy and beautiful example from the weird and wonderful world of Seiko. It's a spring drive with an incredible dial hand and case combination. Not something I'd wear or justify spending 5.8k on but definitely worth the appreciation.    |

The last time I was in Tokyo I noticed a guy on a train wearing a similar Galante.
He had a goatee beard and was wearing a small beanie hat, pale blue jacket, cream trousers and pointy shoes.
"So that's who wears those things" I thought to myself.

I sort of dig the dial and hands, but the case makes me shudder.

I like the hands and the bracelet. The case reminds me of that sub brand or collective who steampunk Seiko's. Can't remember where I saw them.

Absolutely hideous. You didn't buy it did you?

The finish is really amazing on the Galante models, the more I see them in person the more I appreciate them but not sure I would buy one myself. If you think that the designs are unusual you should check out the official Japanese website. www.galante.jp/main.htmlWarning this is almost bordering on NSFW with some of the themes on the site. Totally not what I would have expected from Seiko. |

At $7500 Australian I can think of watches, cars and overseas holidays I could spend it on.

That site looks like a bad David Lynch film... I agree the finish looks great, the design though looks "drug induced".

Seiko sells movements to Invicta and Invicta sells cases to Seiko!  |
