Fascinating Documentary on Japanese Watches
Great half-hour documentary here about the history of Japanese clocks and watches. From the incredible myriad-year clock (which really has to be seen to be believed) to the quartz revolution, it's really interesting and might give you a new appreciation for Japanese timepieces.

The video was very fascinating. I also watched a couple of related videos on independent Swiss watchmakers and iconic Rolex watches. All very interesting.

Great video, Adam! Thanks for sharing it. I never knew that at one time the Japanese had a totally different way of measuring time.

I'll have to check this vid out. I love Japanese watches. I've had several over the years. I think many are every bit as good, if not better than, many much revered Swiss brands.
I have a Seiko on my wrist tonight!
