Some more info on his watches
My friend was able to take contact with Jiro Katayama and got some info on the pricing.
PM me if you'd like specifics, but both models seem to be available and they are quite affordable, we're talking in the low to mid 100K Yen plus tax, so for the quality and style definitely in a nice price range, IMO.
Jiro's Instagram account is the following:

It seems he's working on a Tourbillon watch.
really fresh stuff and I can't wait to see what else he brings out!
Good morning everybody,

Anybody have any news on Jiro Katayama's Otsuka Lotec watches?
Good morning! A few weeks ago I came across some images in Instagram of Jiro Katayama's watches which are labeled with the Otsuka Lotec brand. I've done a little digging around and can see that some of his last activity (besides his recent Instagram posti...
WOW!!!
Non lo conoscevo e lo devo condividere assolutamente con un amico che impazzisce per lo stile steampunk. (agli altri il compito di tradurre). Back to us, i've just found out a page full of photos. lotec.blog24.fc2.com His work is great, i lov...
Sono contento!
Sono contento che puoi condividere questi orologi con il tuo amico, anche a me piace tanto lo stile steampunk! Yes, i was really captivated by his style and the fact that I hadn't heard of his work before. Thanks for the link to the images, I hadn't seen ...
Nice watches, I like them.

You captured the essence!
Love the comparative image! I have to ask a friend of mine to translate what it says on the Lotec dial of the model you have. Maybe Ken if he sees this post can help. Glad that you like these pieces. I think the first pice might not be so thick. from the ...
Yamamoto meter.
Hi, Sebastian. That's a mA meter on the front of one of my tube amplifiers. It was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw your post, both being hand made in Japan. I checked Jiro's blog and found some info on the watches, and a couple of videos o...
Cool
That'd be great to have a matching piece for the amplifier Thanks for the other link too. I think it's similar to what PiccoloChimico gave us. In the mean time I'll also see if I can contact him through a friend who speaks Japanese. I'll let you know if w...
Never seen this watch before but it made me think of the Nord Zeitmaschine Variocurve

Yes, my immediate reaction was that
For a second I thought it might have been somebody involved in the design of the Zeitmaschine, but then realized that it's two different conceptions of a similar idea. The Lotec piece seems more straightforwardly steampunk, for some reason they also bring...
My pleasure Sebastian
Agree with you about Azimuth style. Always very interesting to see new brands and watches. Hope I will learn more about this one. Best wishes Alkiro
These look like the 'star wars' themed pieces
With the blue R2D2 theme, and the gold 3CPO. Regardless of the Star Wars them I think they're great! too bad that we don't have any of the owners of these pieces produced here on PuristPro I was hoping for some first hand images! Thanks for this! Saluti! ...
