Riki Watanabe is one of the most famous industrial designers in Japan. He worked with Seiko/ALBA (yet another division of Seiko) to create this watch:
It’s the Riki AAAA101. The lines are so simple, yet elegant. It is also powered by Seiko’s 7S26m which really makes it a very fancy Seiko 5. Modern, but not to big 37.5mm across. It is modeled after Riki’s industrial clock designs, with rectangular hands and easy to see across a room markers. It also comes in black and a rose gold face. About $200.
Thanks Riki for a tempting timepiece.
