nope no sonnerie. actually disappointing display by Seiko. my excitement was wasted.
Actually I think the Diashock is quite promising, no?
to me, baselworld is a showcase. seiko can come out with press releases and homages to please their fans but their booth was too quiet and too sterile to reflect their anniversary. i can understand if this is a booth in wako back in tokyo... but this is baselworld in switzerland and europe. seiko needs to do more than just dump their watches into glass displays and show pieces of cases and springs and a block of quartz. everyone else was doing just that AND more.
if u just step into the citizen booth and see the smiling faces and compare it with the dreary quiet feel of seiko's booth (where it was mostly empty most of the time), then u can see what i mean. even seiko's facebook page feels more festive.
