Representing true artisanal spirit, the Seiko Micro Artist Studio situated in a small workshop at the Seiko’s factory in Shiojiri, Japan with a only a handful of Seiko artisans produce the company’s finest watches. The best-known lineage to hail from the astute studio is Credor’s Eichi series, followed by the success originally launched with Eichi I in 2008, the Eichi II was revealed in 2014.
Eichi meaning wisdom in Japanese denotes deep knowledge and the divine. Poetically named, the Eichi II is quintessential Credor conceived with understated beauty, yet it is considered one of the most horologically compelling watches of our time. In fact, the watch is known in horological circles as the Japanese equivalent of the Philippe Dufour Simplicity.
To mark the 140th anniversary of Seiko’s founding by Kintaro Hattori, Credor launched the present Eichi II ref. GBLT997 in a 39mm platinum case. Singing in serenity, the porcelain dial is hand-painted in a stunning Ruri blue—Japanese word for Lapis lazuli. Featuring a finely executed seconds hand detailed with a Credor “C” tip glides in grace over haloed blue dial. On the reverse of the timepiece is the display of the equally stunning Spring Drive cal. 7R14, arguably the finest creation by Seiko to date, the movement boast simplicity, yet every bevelled edges, mirror-polished ruby sinks, and heat-blued screws creates a compelling canvas with impeccable finishing. Furthermore, the mainspring is decorated with a Japanese open-worked Bellflower motif that is ever so poetic.
With only two dozen pieces leaving the Studio per year, resulting a demanding waiting list, the present Eichi II is preserved in excellent overall condition. The present lot is accompanied with its original certificate and accessories, making this the perfect opportunity for collectors to snatch this for their own collection without the long wait.
