Seiko Momotaro Vintage Kimono Pocket Watch
Saw a pic of it here on WatchCrunch last month. I loved the design, and hunted for it. Just got it in today. It’s an enameled octagon clamshell pocketwatch. Manual winding. Quite delicate and lovely.
Here’s a little video of it. It’s a tiny charming thing…

That's awesome! Love things like that.
And please do tell - how does it look on your kimono? 😉
If you look back in the old Seiko catalogues you can see a few. Definitely fascinating and unique to Seiko (I think - someone will correct/educate me) but a rabbit hole that I am trying hard to resist …

I'm planning to visit Japan this year, any place you can recommend me for some JDM-hunt?

Oo, I was watch hunting when I went to Japan last year. Lots of high end vintage watch shops in Ginza. But it’s best to YouTube hunters that go to smaller more humble independent stores.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
Holy schnikes that's a gorgeous watch!
