"S stands for Seiko - Not Swiss"
A sonnet on the Seiko Presage
Vaidyanath Harinarayana
2/9/2025
Clamped to my wrist, I'm trying to hide,
A captivating dial, 40.5 mil wide,
catching attention with a shiny side--
"Must be expensive?" they ask...I lied.
Spearhead hour markers, sharp and long,
Sword-like hands, gliding along,
Intricate finish, so detailed yet strong--
If you wondered "Swiss?", you're wrong.
A big, beveled crown, polished to gleam,
A 20-mil bracelet where brushed meets sheen
A domed crystal, elevates the dial supreme,
And the open case back, revealing a mechanical dream.
In each glace, time ceases to slow
and I return again and again to its radiant glow
