London, United Kingdom, April 2025
Seiko is excited to announce the return of Power Design Project to Japan House London this May, an initiative for the brand’s in-house experts to creatively explore watches outside of conventional design frameworks.
Following its success in 2024, the ‘Incredibly Specialised Watches Exhibition 2’ marks the second international instalment of the series with bold, visionary concepts, each created for a specific function.
Throughout its 144-year history, Seiko has introduced a wide range of iconic watches tailored for various purposes; from divers to railroad timekeepers. With this exhibition, in-house watchmakers have taken the very essence of a watch, entirely repurposing it.
The second edition presents six imaginative designs, each telling a story. From a watch designed and crafted for Ninjas to a timepiece made specifically for boiling eggs, these playful inventions reflect Seiko’s continuing commitment to innovation and the art of horology.
The ‘Incredibly Specialised Watches Exhibition 2’ will be on display from May 15th to June 16th in the Shop at Japan House London (101-111 Kensington High St, London W8 5SA, United Kingdom) with free admission for all.
