The “power design project” began in 2001 for Seiko designers to explore the essence of watches and pursue design possibilities based on annual themes. This experimental endeavor was discontinued in 2009 but returns today, after 13 years, to propose new ways of design, unbound by pre-existing concepts.
The theme for 2022 is REBIRTH.
Eight designers have developed their ideas and expanded their imaginations from the distinctive watches and technologies that have emerged throughout Seiko's long history, and have channeled them into the REBIRTH of seven products.
We hope you enjoy the many design possibilities demonstrated by the seven REBIRTH stories.
The King Seiko watches manufactured in the 1970s still retain brilliance after more than 50 years, thanks to their distortion-free mirror surfaces made possible by the Zaratsu polishing technique. Focusing on this technique, this King Seiko watch is now reborn with a contemporary, uplifting, and glamorous feel. The beauty of the Zaratsu polished 20-faceted case and the intricacy of the sixty markers around the dial make this watch a must-see item.
