Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and watch giant Seiko have cooked up a pair of timepieces.
Hiroshi Fujiwara knows how to build heat, and his latest flex involves a wrist shot that sent his followers scrambling. The godfather of streetwear hit Instagram to offer a glimpse of the confirmed Seiko Metronome Watch fragment Edition, causing a stir with a white-dial model that feels familiar yet distinctly his.
That familiar feeling comes from the hardware, which stays technically loyal to the original Seiko Metronome SMW006A, specifically the PA50-00B0 model with its matte stainless steel case. Fujiwara didn’t mess with the chassis, but he did overhaul the interface, swapping the standard black indicators on the white version for musical tempo markings in red and BPM counts in electric blue.
Those electric blue accents pop against the chrome-finish applied indices, matching the double lightning bolt logo that sits just above the six. While the white iteration plays with color, the second version—spotted on Fujiwara’s digital YouTube magazine, QUIET—goes dark.
The dark variant ditches the playful hues for a strict monochrome palette, using crisp white markings to slice through a pitch-black background. This stripped-back aesthetic extends to the caseback, where engravings reading “VA FRAGMENT METRONOME” hint that this project might be a V.A. Tokyo exclusive rather than a global release.
