Seiko and LARK Unveils the latest Presage Cocktail Time Australasian Limited Edition - Ichigo Ichie.
Following the successful collaboration with the award-winning Australian whisky distillery, LARK, Seiko Australia is proud to announce its second Presage Cocktail Time Australasian Limited Edition SRPL20J, inspired by the bespoke cocktail Ichigo Ichie created by LARK Distillery.
Limited to 1,000 pieces, this latest timepiece pays tribute to the Japanese philosophy of "Ichigo Ichie" the art of making the most of every moment. This philosophy resonates deeply with the meticulous craftsmanship of Seiko watches and the artisanal spirit of LARK whiskies, brought together in this exciting collaboration.
Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Cherishing Every Moment
Rooted in a 16th-century Japanese proverb and a core principle of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, "Ichigo Ichie" () roughly translates to "for this time only" or "once in a lifetime." It embodies the idea of being fully present and cherishing each moment as a singular experience that may never occur again. This concept perfectly aligns with the values upheld by Seikos master watchmakers and LARKs master distillers. In todays fast-paced world, Seiko watches and LARK whiskies serve as a reminder to pause, reflect, and appreciate the moments that surround us whether through the quiet ticking of time or the savouring of fine whisky.
A Cocktail Designed to Invite You to Savour Each Moment
Bringing the concept of "Ichigo Ichie" to life, LARK has crafted a unique cocktail that embodies simple elegance, timelessness, and the merging of cultures. This cocktail, with its refreshing effervescence and depth of flavour, invites you to pause and truly savour the moment. In a nod to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, the cocktail infuses Japanese shochu with sencha and hibiscus teas, harmonising the concept of "Ichigo Ichie" with the art of tea and mixology.
Drawing from the profile of LARKs Classic Cask Whisky, the cocktail offers elevated fragrant aromas, the luscious sweetness of stone fruit, and a delicate savoury note of gari from traditional Japanese pickled ginger. These elements come together in a classic champagne cocktail reminiscent of a Bellini. The striking rose gold gradient tones of the cocktail are achieved by the tea infusion, and these colours are mirrored in the timepieces rose gold hands, hour markers, and case, while the dial is enriched with a textured sunray engraving.
A Limited Edition with Sophistication and Versatility
Driven by the Calibre 4R35 movement, the watch is paired with a black leather strap, elegantly finished with a rose gold-coloured folding clasp, offering a sophisticated contrast that enhances its versatility. The exhibition case back of the timepiece is marked with the words Limited Edition and the serial number, allowing the wearer to view the automatic mechanical movement in action.
Each limited-edition watch comes with a special presentation dark timber box, making it a perfect addition to any watch collection.
