It was a great evening hosted by the crew at AZFT highlighted by a demonstration of the watchmaking prowess of Mr. Tsutomu Ito. Ito-san set up shop and assembled a Grand Seiko 9S85 "Hi-Beat" Watch movement for those present. Through his translator, he was both informative and entertaining.
Great hand skills ...
Now for the heart...
It's alive ...
and the surgeon is satisfied ....
After the movement was together, he demonstrated the difference between traditional spring material and Spron.
First a traditional spring:
Now Spron:
The result (Spron on the left):
Thanks to Joe at AZFT for making it happen and the wonderful hospitality.
How did that get on my wrist? Don't worry Dear, it's just a Seiko ....
