Traditionally in Japan Nomunication hour C a hybrid of nomu (drink) and communication, is after 5pm C when its cocktail hour and time to talk things over. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection was inspired by this Japanese custom C with each timepiece named after drinks mixed by Hisashi Kishi, head bartender of Star Bar in Tokyos Ginza area.

With a dial designed to resemble the view of the drink through a glass, this timepiece is inspired by a beer julep cocktail. Mr Kishi mixes Japanese beer with whisky, gin, sugar syrup, lemon and basil leaves, to create a fragrant and fresh aperitif. The dial of this piece beautifully captures the sparkling crispness of the cocktail.

A striking gold-coloured case and bracelet match its dial whilst golden indices are complemented by dauphine hands and a date function at 3 oclock. It has a three-fold clasp with a push button release, as well as a see-through exhibition case back.

This piece is 40.5mm in diameter and 11.8mm deep. It is powered by an in-house built 4R35 automatic calibre that is accurate to 45 / -35 seconds per day.
