“I Love Seiko” Prize Presentation at Thong Sia Singapore

I was invited once again to the Seiko showroom at Thong Sia Singapore to attend the prize presentation of the “I Love Seiko” video contest. The event took place on 12th Dec 2009 and the winner of the contest is our very own Badrun Nafis aka Badern. His video was selected by the judges at Seiko Japan to be the winner of the contest.

I am putting together this blog entry to document the various landmarks and buildings in Singapore where Seiko clocks are installed.

If you spot a Seiko clock in Singapore, please send me a picture.

Orient Multi-year Calendar – CEU07005WX

Multi-year calendar watch puts any month’s calendar on the watch and gives you instant answers to questions like “what is the date for next Friday?”, “what day does my birthday falls on?”. This is definitely a very practical function that a watch can offer besides telling time.

This time round, I had the opportunity to handle a multi-year calendar watch from Orient. Orient has been making these multi-year calendar watches for many years and they can be considered one of Orient’s signature pieces.

This piece that I handled is a recent model that comes with slide rule feature. Model number is CEU07005WX.
