>Seiko should have gone all the way. Kill the art of watchmaking, burn Switzerland to the ground, gas the fedoras. It still might happen, in light of the likelihood of am eventual MEMS revolution in watch movements. If engineered silicon oscillators become a trend, Seiko Epson would likely have a leg up as they have a full blown semiconductor division and more experience with MEMS manufacturing than anyone else in the watchmaking industry. Hell, Grand Seiko already has their own LIGA laboratory.
If Seiko decides to get into that game, they have a real shot at being the best and most cost effective at it.

Seiko refuses to use silicon in mechanical movements though.

Asian genes. I don't mind too much though, vintage pieces look modern-sized on my wrist instead.
I've been wanting to either remove it or replace the crystal entirely but I'm too preoccupied with other project pieces. Currently restoring a 6694 that was both redialed and needs a new mainspring.

Seiko refuses to use silicon in mechanical movements though. They've been very clear about this, and wouldn't be good PR if they suddenly made a 360° turn and moonwalk into silicon escapements.

Nice strap choice.

DUMB ASF DESU SILLICON CRISIS WHEN

why they use quartz in their highest end models
why so bigoted about silicon?

No one's shitted on my fossil yet

*shat on your fossil.

Thanks, user. It's pretty nice albeit little stiff since I just got it.
