Unveiling the Limited-Edition Citizen Tsuyosa X seconde/seconde/ Watch: A Playful Intersection of Retro Gaming Aesthetics and Refined Watchmaking

In a whimsical fusion of nostalgic video gaming and refined watchmaking, Citizen has joined hands with French custom watch designer, seconde/seconde/, to release their punchy, limited-edition Tsuyosa watch. Drawn from the beloved Tsuyosa series, this latest edition sees playful motifs and pixelated charm encounter impeccable finesse and execution. To top off its appeal, the timepiece debuts at a remarkably accessible price point, a pleasant surprise for admirers of intricate, ‘art dial’ designs.

Carrying the unique touch of seconde/seconde/, the main highlight of the Citizen Tsuyosa x seconde/seconde/ is undeniably its dial. Embellishing the classic theme, an eight-bit-esque pixelated image replaces one of the hands, in this instance amping up the fun factor by replacing the minutes hand with a stylized katana. The radiant, oceanic blue sunburst dial surface dramatizes the crisp contrast of the sky-blue printed line, flanking each of the applied indices which is neatly sliced into two, justifying seconde/seconde’s project mantra - ‘Being smaller has never stopped Minutes from slicing Hours into pieces.’

The Citizen Tsuyosa x seconde/seconde/ watch employs the brand’s in-house Calibre, assuring precision performance. The intriguing blend of whimsicality, high-end execution, and a brilliantly thought-through conceptual foundation establishes this timepiece as a stellar addition to Citizen’s collection and a worthy investment for discerning horological enthusiasts.
