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.
Creating Living Watches
What inspires me most is music performed by human hands, and the lines and colors created by artists. Within them lives the presence, emotion, and spirit of their creators.
A computer cannot feel such things.
Each of my watches carries a part of myself, as well as the dedication of the people and craftsmen who contribute to their creation. This is the element I value above all else.
My goal is to create what I call a "living watch" ? not merely an object that exists in physical form, but something that transcends time and allows its owner to feel the life, passion, and journey of the watchmaker behind it.
Biography
“The primrose flowers which start impatiently blossoming despite being under the snow are the symbols of my watches that have started to beat. It’s what I have always wanted to do. The three petals represent my wife and my two children. My initials are also embedded in my creations.”
