A very special watch: the Seiko Galante
The Galante collection is the high-end collection from Seiko (in fact, with still Seiko on the dial). These main features are great finishings and... a very special design. You can easily recognize a Galante through the special shape of the second hand.
This one was shot when I visited the Seiko Center in Paris. It is powered with a Spring-Drive caliber.
I must confess I find it "too much" and a bit of simplicity would have been welcome.
But you can appreciate the work on the case and on the dial.
Enjoy the pics !

High "bling factor", but ...

Not at all !
No I don't consider it for me... I much prefer this one: Thanks for your comments ! Fr.Xavier...
Horrible...
First impression was of a roulette wheel in a porthole. IMVHO Seiko will never ever make 'high-end' watches. They may cost as much as true high end watches but at the end of the day.....it's still only a 'Seiko'. D in W
"Still only a Seiko"
Have you handled a simple Grand Seiko? eg SBGW001? The SBGW001 is beautifully made and is in my view very high end (I have a bunch of JLCs and a GO and BP). Yes, some people say to me "it's a Seiko" (rarely, "just a Seiko" interestingly) - but I don't car...

Seiko's rock in their own way and are high-end in a Nippon kind of way. I have a Seiko Premier Chrono (SNA586P1) and the gold and ss and lugs remind me of an Omega Connie, and perhaps a bit of a homage to Patek and Breguet. Nice touch by the Japanese. Swi...
I admit finding it attractive somehow ...
It reminds me of the first watches I saw from Antoine Preziuso, with some Versace elements added. It is eccentric, but Consequently so. Regards, Marcus
Impressively well made but...
I find it terribly ugly. Thanks for the report foversta. - SJX
