Finally came around to arrange the pics and upload.
Was in Tokyo last month and through another forum i have meet a friend which we have chatted for quite some time now.
It's strange how forums and common interest brings people together.
We might not know each other, but we know each others wrist and also there is a common bond.
I meet a Purist forum member Ken which graciously offered to arrange a English speaking tour of the Seiko museum for me and also offered to meet up and bring me there.
This was i think actually his 5th time visiting and bringing watch nuts like me to the museum and he still gladly does so.
Japanese hospitality at its best and great friendship indeed.
We meet at Asakusa station and took a taxi over to the museum.
Its located on a very normal street away from the tourist area or any main street.
When i was inside the person who was going to be my guide was Senior Manager Katsuhiro Kumagai san.
Many thanks for his time.
On to the pics, there are ALOT of them.
The sequence of pics are as how the tour progressed.
Started on how the company started.
Pic of the watches that was left after the building was burnt down.
Seiko actually replaced every single one of them to their dealers at no extra cost.
Some of the very first clocks made.
Some pics self explanatory.
Here you see first glimpse of Katsuhiro san as he demo a Seiko talking clock.
Its still produced today buy no stock in the museum store.
Animated clock.
