Seiko Japan just released a new video. The style is quite different from Swiss watch companies.

If the Swiss made that video, it would just be camera pans along a worn wooden bench strewn with steel shavings and time lapses of unfurling flowers.

Probably you are right, But apparently it's better for marketing.

Once I see at least some of the assembly workers wearing surgical
masks, I just know they have been put together right! :-d

the paper/cardboard dials they use during calibration (around 4:13 in the video) are interesting.

Wow, excellent video. Those techs make handling those tiny parts look so easy but it must take a ton of training and skill.

Here is your second one.

Also a very cool video, and again in a unique style.

Make sure you have the Youtube subtitles turned on (CC indicator on the bottom right)

Wow, two vastly different cultures. Love how that guy runs over his Vostok with a Honda.

Thank you for all replies. Glad to know you guys like it. I think it's cool but maybe not everyone would appreciate the way it presents.
