Seiko

OK, so imagine this: 

You are packing to go on a trip, and you walk around the house checking to see that the phone charger is in the briefcase, the windows are closed, the dirty laundry is hidden so the house sitter isn't bothered, the cat is fed and his food is adequate for the duration, etc.

Well, that's what I am supposed to be thinking.

But what I am really noticing are all the Seiko items around my house. 

Starting in the office, with the watch testers sitting unused, covered with dust.

Two watches that need attention. Shall I send them in, or consign them to a bitter end?

The moon phase calendar clock is off a couple days because I haven't reset it the last couple of months. The Braille clock is running nicely, on time. Sort of.

The matched pair (though Roman and Arabic) are ticking away on the front of the desk.

Gads. All these have to go into the vault later today.

My automatic pocket Seikomatic is ticking away.

Not the Seikosha mantle clock - it's neglected and starting to look a bit sad.

Farmhouse clock is happy, but slow. I reset it.

Transistor clock is fine.

My time clock, where I punch myself in and out while working on watches seems to be right on the money. Date and weekday too!

Seiko case tools are standing by, just "in case"

I think this is an arabic clock. It's certainly not Roman, or Cyrillic.

World time touch sensor hasn't been touched for awhile, but it appears to be on the correct day and date. How does it do that?

The pendulum clocks have all stopped for a rest - when we go on vacation, so do they.

Driveway looks good. No watches in the door pockets or consoles of my car fleet.

Seiko and Atmos match one another within a reasonable span of moments.

Boxes are down in the cupboards, slumbering away.

While the kitchen clock / timer waits for its chance to help me cook.

And the big day date is ticking away too.

I finish with a glance at the slogan, then notice the date is stuck on the Westminster chiming clock. Sigh.

Is there Anyone else irrationally fond of these small tokens of engineering and beauty?
