Features: 

The Collaboration. Over the last three decades, Seiko and Studio Ghibli have collaborated on dozens on watches, but few are as well thought out and put together as their 10 Year Anniversary "My Neighbor Totoro" Watch. It was created to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the films release, and much like the film, its design can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

The Film. I must admit, I’m not a Ghibli aficionado but the handful of films I have watched with my daughter have been magical - every one she’s seen has made its way into her favourite films of all time list. My Neighbor Totoro undoubtedly reigns supreme, with my daughter heart-breakingly saying, “Daddy, why do my tears feel happy?” as the credits rolled after her first viewing. 

The Wood Spirit. Totoro is not only beloved by audiences both young and old, but Miyazaki, the studio’s founder, was so proud of his creation that Totoro ended up becoming the production logo for Studio Ghibli - so it’s only fitting for the kind-hearted wood spirit to be front and centre on both dials. The watch has various subtle nods to the film, with a decorated caseback and Totoro's paw print stamped into the bezel.

The Box. Rarely are boxes worth talking about, but the wooden box with dark green felt inlay is spectacular, especially when you consider the ACAM003 retailed for the paltry sum of $165 at the time. It even includes a 10th Year Anniversary badge!

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.
