The next day, we found ourselves at a Seiko Epson facility ...
where we learned about wind chimes, and they forced me to wear this watch and listen to it ring
We saw how totally integrated their facility was - making cases, movements, dials, hands, etc. (although we didn't get to see the herd of Seiko alligators)
Assembly of the 9F quartz movement is done just as carefully as any other GS movement (in case you were wondering, Ron)
The Micro Studio is fantastic
I was amazed to discover the folks who build these movements have been following our "Spring Drive in 25 words or less" thread
There are the coils that generate and repulse, and there's the tiny chip that does all the calculations
After a tour of the Astron GPS assembly line, we took a taxi and 3 trains back to civilization

We had a fantastic day yesterday - bullet train, meals, tours and conversation. My wife and I and will be making a full report on Seiko soon. This morning we are booked for another tour, but I wanted to tease you with some of the things we saw yesterday ....
Even for me, ENVIOUS!
I LOVE factory tour.... drooling.... I am glad you are enjoying. You must be tired - we are looking forward to your report(s)!! Best, Ken
Catch of the Day
I append a photo with the Today's Salad blacked out (I have no other way of highlighting it). You will need to go back to the original photo to see the words blacked out. :-) Usually, they have a "Catch of the Day" listing for fresh fish...and in japan so...
Thanks for the translations!
I didn't notice any squirming at that last restaurant, although the live lobster (head) at the Ken/Casey dinner did cause Mrs C some distress... but not enough to prevent us from tackling the oysters on our last night in Tokyo ...

That cost of GS entry . . .
