The King Seiko SJE107J1 draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese art of Ukiyo-e, an ancient form of expression that dates back to the 17th century. Ukiyo-e is renowned for its vibrant depictions of historical scenes, landscapes, and nature, and the SJE107J1 pays tribute to this rich heritage with a design inspired by the natural beauty of Kameido, the birthplace of the King Seiko brand. The dial is adorned with a beautiful wisteria flower pattern, symbolising both nature and tradition, bringing the artistry of Japan’s Edo period into modern watchmaking.
The ‘Tenjin-Fuji Violet’ features a stunning lavender-coloured dial that captures the essence of the Kameido Tenjin Shrine, known for its wisteria trellises that bloom vibrantly each spring. The wisteria flowers, often lit up during the Fuji Festival, have long been a source of inspiration for artists such as Hiroshige Utagawa and Claude Monet. The delicate pale violet gradation of the dial evokes the beauty of these iconic flowers, blending traditional Japanese culture with artistic elegance. Set under a box sapphire crystal glass, the sharp Dauphine-style hands with multifaceted edges add a refined touch to this captivating design.
Powered by the in-house 6L35 automatic calibre, Seiko’s slimmest automatic movement, the King Seiko SJE107J1 ensures reliable performance with an accuracy of +15/-10 seconds per day and a 45-hour power reserve. The angular brushed finish case design and intricate seven-piece bracelet complete this timepiece’s sophisticated aesthetic. Whether you are drawn to its rich cultural history or its modern, elegant design, the SJE107J1 embodies the spirit of King Seiko’s legacy – a harmonious blend of artistry, precision, and timeless elegance.
