Well, a recent thread finally got me to create a spreadsheet of my collection, and I count 52 things that are listed in the "type" column under something other than "wristwatch." So I can't help taking advantage with a self-indulgent post. I picked my favorite of each of the categories - advert, article, catalogs, clock (desk), clock (wall), jewelery, pocketwatch, radio, stopwatch, swag, and tool. Forgive me for all the pics - glad to finally have a use for my spreadsheet and photos!
This very 60's "Gent's Watch" advert including a few of our favs...
This rather ratty copy of Time magazine that includes a detailed piece about Seiko "coming of age" on the world stage during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
This "automation age" catalog is pretty awesome.
Desk clock would be a tie (I'm cheating) between the '64 olympic alarm clock.
And this roughly contemporaneous crystal chronometer.
Wall clock is this lovely Seikosha schoolhouse style clock I picked up years ago from a goodwill.
Jewelery is the same tie clip Akable posted (and thanks for your interesting and thorough separate thread about it).
Pocket goes to this beautiful Seikosha Right with a triple-sunk porcelain dial.
Radio goes to this Toshiba/Seiko combo (love these things, and they go so cheaply!).
Stop was a close call, but I went with my Seikosha phonotelemeter.
And for swag, they're not all that rare, but I just love the Pogue playing cards that seem to come up everyone once in a while.
Cheers and if you read this all, thanks for sticking with me! Love these posts.
