Seiko Presageadds to its collection of watches inspired by cocktails two models inspired by the cocktails of Hisashi Kishi, the bartender at Star Bar in Ginza (Tokyo), winner of the last World Championship of the International Bar Association. The two cocktails that inspire these models are: the Starlight cocktail and the Sakura Fubuki.
The Starlight cocktail is inspired by the shine of the stars on the darkest and most mysterious nights. Therefore, theSeiko PresageInspired by this combination, it has a dark color on the dial that comes to life with the bright stars in the center. These stars represent the bubbles in the cocktail glass. As Kishi says: “The secret to achieving a perfect Starlight is the bubbles that shine in the glass and create the same sensation as the stars in the sky.”
On the other hand, the Sakura Fubuki cocktail is inspired by the beauty of the cherry blossom. In Japan, cherry trees are the most appreciated trees, especially in spring when the flowers bloom and fall. This new model wants to capture that moment in the texture of its pink dial.
The key to these designs is the shiny finish of the spheres. Each one has an exceptional shade that perfectly showcases the look of the cocktails served at the Star Bar.
