Seiko Craftsman Yoshifusa Nakazawa Honored
Yoshifusa Nakazawa was given a prestigious award in Japan recently, as described in our News Central section. Mrs C and I were able to talk with him for about 10 minutes last year when we visited the Micro Arts studio.
Mr. Nakazawa does virtually all the work on the Eichi watch. Here are his hands, and several Eichi II watches he was assembling:
Partially assembled watch on cushioned table cover
Cleaning the top of the movement, on the table where he normally works
Finished movement, showing the hand-wound Spring Drive
Another gentleman was hand-painting the porcelain dials on the other side of the room.
Here's the finished product; I was a fraction of a second slow with my shutter, sorry!

That Eichi is just sublime!
Now that my current Seiko grail is in my grasp (and no prising it out of my hands now), I guess its time for another goal I am glad that such craftsmanship is still highly revered and rewarded!
