When I bought a time-consuming watch, I discovered a new side of myself and music.
Previously, I often had to keep an eye on my bandmates and staff as I worked, and chose my belongings with efficiency in mind. However, I wanted to focus more on my music, so around spring 2024, I completely replaced the things around me.
He also believed that new creativity could be born from inefficiency, so he replaced his guitar with a 1965 Fender Mustang and bought a 1960s Seiko manual-winding watch.
When I looked into it, I found out that because the parts are so delicate, after winding the spring you have to wind it back a little in the opposite direction to stop it, and it takes a little extra effort. At first I found it troublesome, but I gradually got used to it. Now I feel like I'm becoming a new person.
This is a hand-wound watch manufactured from 1959 to the 1960s. As a model that predates Grand Seiko, it is popular among overseas enthusiasts. "Because it is hand-wound, I have to wind the mainspring every morning, which has become a part of my routine, and that's one of the things I like about it."
