And Makoto Watches made that into a fantastic watch dial with the texture of asphalt, with full block lumed crossing lines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen I looked at this, I thought of a place in Shibuya, next to the crossing, where people gather to remember a story, or rather a history, of a faithful Akita dog who waited his owner's return from work at the Shibuya station everyday. And everyday the dog came to the station to wait for the owner's return, not knowing his passing, for almost 10 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow in our collaboration, they can meet each other every single hour.

Also you see the HACHI 0000 that is the mark for the first edition. This bit was originally planned to hold the serial number of the each watch, but for some unknown reason, the manufacturer made a mistake and all the first batch comes with HACHI 0000. \"0\" in Japanese can be read as \"rei \/ 霊\", meaning ghostly spirit, and \"four\" in Japanese could represents death, as the number four can be read as \"shi \/ 死\", death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWould it be a message from the dog and its owner? Who knows, but I think it's a good representation of \"memento mori\" a famous Latin phrase for reminding us that we are all mortal beings. Maybe we should interpret it as Hachi and the professor telling us from beyond, to cherish your time being together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Lume Blocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBGW9 - Super Luminova\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: TMI VH31 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy: ｰ\/＋15 sec\/month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration Frequency: 28800 per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Life: approximately 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Type:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSR920SW \/ 371\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Resistance: 200 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrew down engraved crown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLug-to-Lug: 47 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLug Width: 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase diameter: 39 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Thickness:\u003cspan\u003e 11.5 \u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSapphire Crystal, with Anti Reflection coating\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AndoAndoAndo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59615179112796,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/6726\/7766\/files\/794529124_1878615750183101_8143754332014808238_n.jpg?v=1792942372","url":"https:\/\/andoandoando.com\/ja\/products\/makoto-x-ando-shibuya-hachiko","provider":"AndoAndoAndo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
