The Hanko Mechanical Timepiece is a conceptual design developed for Seiko Watch Corporation. This timepiece subtly incorporates a hand-carved Hanko, a traditional Japanese seal used for signing contracts and verifying identity.

Drawing inspiration from centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship, the design redefines luxury timepieces by merging cultural heritage with modern innovation. The inclusion of the Hanko adds a distinctive, personal touch, enabling wearers to carry a functional symbol of their identity with them at all times.
