The Watch
Seiko first launched the Cocktail Time in 2010, it was created in partnership with Shinobu Ishigaki, who is one of the world's most highly regarded cocktail makers, and the owner of a bar in the Shibuya district, Tokyo, he has been featured on Anthony Bourdain's series, "No Reservations," his elaborate cocktails were the inspiration behind the original Cocktail Time watches, with their flamboyant and colourful sunburst dials.

Elegant Dauphine hands and a long tapering centre seconds hand, give the watch a classic vintage look and feel. On the reverse, we have a screw-down exhibition case.
