Finding a Citizen Chronometer in Ginza
Walking through the aisles that afternoon, I enjoyed the familiar mixture of temptation and restraint. Wonderful King Seikos. Beautiful early Grand Seikos. Exceptional Longines, Universal Genève and Omega chronographs. Every few minutes another watch demanded attention.

For a few years now, I have had the privilege of meeting the owners of different brands, thanks to my job working for a Japanese microbrand. I have also had a hand in creating several different watches - whether it was a contribution to the design, the concept, the media push, or even the choice of strap. So, I have intimate knowledge of all the trials and tribulations that go into making even a single watch, but because I don't own the company, I am fortunate not to bear all
