The Citizen Tsuyosa x Seconde/seconde/ Collaboration is a masterclass in horological subversion, blending the sleek, 1970s-inspired silhouette of the Tsuyosa with the sharp wit of Parisian artist Romaric André. The centerpiece of this collaboration is the minutes hand, which has been transformed into a pixelated, blocky katana. This playful "disruption" turns the passage of time into a literal act of slicing through the day, effectively bridging the gap between classic integrated-bracelet aesthetics and modern satirical art.
The watch features a vibrant blue sunburst dial that radiates from the center, providing a high-contrast backdrop for the custom handset and applied baton indices. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, the design maintains its signature versatility with an integrated three-link bracelet and a cyclops date window at the 3 o'clock position. The sapphire crystal provides professional-grade scratch resistance, ensuring the artistic modification remains the focal point of the wrist experience.
Visible through the exhibition case back is the reliable Citizen Caliber 8210 automatic movement, which provides a 40-hour power reserve. The case back itself serves as a secondary canvas, featuring a custom blue printed block with the cynical yet poetic inscription: "Being smaller has never stopped Minutes from slicing Hours into pieces." Rated for 5 bar (50m) water resistance, this limited-edition collaboration is a definitive choice for collectors who value mechanical integrity paired with a sharp, artistic edge.
