Zen Garden-Inspired Timepieces

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Seiko Unveils Two New Additions to its 'Japanese Zen Garden' Series

— December 2, 2024 — Fashion
Seiko expands its 'Japanese Zen Garden' series with two stunning new timepieces, capturing the tranquility and artistry of traditional Karesansui gardens. This collection combines Seiko’s mechanical precision with a timeless design inspired by serene Japanese aesthetics.

The new models come in two striking dial options: Fern Green, featuring a lush, textured pattern reminiscent of raked sand, and Gold-Toned Sand, which glimmers with hues inspired by the golden light of temple gardens. Both designs are enhanced with intricate open-heart details, elegantly curved hands, and dual-curve sapphire crystal glass for a sophisticated finish. The dials’ three-dimensional patterns evoke a sense of movement and natural harmony, embodying the spirit of Zen.

Priced between £480 and £520 GBP, the watches are now available for pre-order through the Seiko Boutique website.
