Seiko has added two new watches to its “Japanese Zen Garden” series, a collection of timepieces that reflect the essence of traditional Japanese Karesansui gardens. Known for their harmony and serenity, Karesansui is a unique style of Japanese garden with carefully arranged rocks, moss, cut trees, and raked gravel or sand to look like water ripples.
Often found in Zen Buddhist temples, Karesansui gardens are designed to reflect the essence of nature and inspire meditation, rather than to imitate its actual form. Presage's “Japanese Zen Garden” series reflects this inspiration on their dial, combining the timeless aesthetic and renowned mechanical precision of Seiko.

Its elegant curved hands and unique Karesansui patterns bring a calm and attractive design to the watch. The intricate details of the dial give the illusion of movement dyed with the color of nature, symbolizing the essence of gardens.
Priced from £480 – £520 GBP (approximately $609 – $660 USD), the two new Presage “Japanese Zen Garden” timepieces can be pre-ordered on the Seiko Boutique website.
