Watchmaker
Yosuke Sekiguchi

Above all, I believe that a watch should speak for itself.

The tools I use to create my dials do not possess the precision of computer-controlled machinery.

Working directly with each component, shaping it by hand, the results are never perfectly uniform.

Yet to me, this is not a flaw. It is simply a natural part of the process.

“Breathing Life into Timepieces”

What deeply moves Yosuke is music performed by human hands, and the lines and colors spun from an artist’s brush.

Within them lives the unmistakable presence, emotion, and soul of their creator.

It is a warmth that no computer could ever feel.

Each timepiece Yosuke crafts carries a piece of his own heart, alongside the devotion of the artisans who poured their spirit into its creation. This, above all else, is what he treasures.

His ultimate goal is to create what he calls a "living watch"…a timepiece that holds a living soul.

It is not merely a physical object. It is something that transcends time, allowing those who wear it to truly feel the life, passion, and lifelong journey of the watchmaker behind it.
