Will I ever be in a position where I care? Deep blues are not meant to be matched with black. Wild card: I love the indigo dials that Citizen puts out, but this is meant to be a GADA watch that will match every outfit I'll ever own. I love that gorgeous cursive 'Chronomaster', but the chicken is not to my taste. No idea how Citizen's higher-end bracelets hold up.īranding: Well, I said that 'looks frugal to non-enthusiasts' was important, and both brands certainly pass that test. Wrong - washi has the tremendous utility of being a translucent material that allows the Eco-Drive to work!!! Brilliant! (They're both amazing, but any textured GS is out of my current price range.)įinishing quality: I assume both are excellent, but I detect a slight prejudice towards Grand Seiko in various reviews. So I admit I first thought that the washi-paper Chronomaster dials were a little derivative. Solar Eco-Drive is also a pretty cool perk, although it sounds like GS has a huge advantage with finding service outside Japan.ĭial: I've probably read too much GS marketing material about the profound, ancient Japanese influence behind every odd dial pattern the brand produces. Meanwhile, the Chronomaster has a perpetual calendar, which fits that 'I never want to touch my crown' HAQ ethos. In no particular order, my thoughts.įunctionality: The GS GMT hand is really cool, but all I really want is easy hour adjustment, which both models have. Maybe it's obvious why my choices have narrowed to Citizen vs. Watch as 'Bottled Time' affects people and objects in man made universes that band to different laws of physics.So I'm in the market for a rest-of-my-life quartz dress watch. Embark on an odyssey to worlds where magic reigns, reality warps & plants speak words of wisdom. Join Korda, the Chronomaster, on his epic quest for justice! In this groundbreaking Graphic Adventure, find yourself on a mission beyond your wildest dreams in a future where magic & science co-exist! 'Chronomaster' will take you on a journey through man-made 'Pocket Universes' full of cyborgs, pirates & witches who provide deadly puzzles. Written and designed by science fiction writer, Roger Zelazny, winner of numerous Hugo and Nebula Awards, and co-authored by Jane Lindskold.
