Seiko
Seiko has produced watches with dials inspired by the green moss of winter, the red leaves of autumn and the white peaks of Mount Hotaka. It has released a model whose dial colour mimics the mangrove swamps on Iriomote, an island in the Okinawa Prefecture, another said to evoke the dawn light over Tokyo and still another that “captures the beauty of cherry blossom at night”.

Ask someone from Japan what s unique about their country and there’s a fair chance they’ll reply “it has four seasons”. That’s not as mad as it sounds: Japan’s seasons don’t slide into one another the way they do in the UK or Europe, they are separate and distinct, with their own individual festivals, produce and rituals, as well as seasonal plants, weather and crops.
