Model: Exaequo “Dali” Softwatch

Year: 1990s

Features:

The Rise. Dali watches have enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years, though regular visitors to my website won’t be surprised to learn they’ve been sought after in Japan for decades. True to Japan’s horological tastes - if it looks unusual, it will find an audience.

The Inspiration. Exaequo named the piece after Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory, the surrealist masterpiece famous for its melting watches. Despite having always been called the “Dali”, the first version carried no text on the dial. The second only displayed the words “Softwatch”. It was the third iteration - the “Dali Dial” shown above - that changed everything.

The Problem. Adding Dali’s signature to the centre of the dial was the legal equivalent of flying too close to the Sun. The artist’s estate sued, and in 1998, unable to meet the mounting legal costs, Exaequo closed its doors.

      FAQs

      Do you ship globally?

      Absolutely - our watches are regularly shipped all over the world. Shipping typically takes:

      • 4-9 business days to reach North America
      • 4-12 business days to reach Europe
      • 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

      All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

      Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

      It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

      Are your watches water resistant?

      All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.

      Can I modify an existing design?

      We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.

      What is your returns policy?

      Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.

      Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
