With a form factor reminiscent of Seiko's famed Bullhead chronographs, this panda-inspired concept designed by Kiyotaka Sakai goes to appreciable length to employ panda ears as pushers to operate the chronograph.

The Seiko Pandagraph is arguably among the cutest timepieces ever produced—right down to the panda-like tail on the caseback—while still remaining inherently useful.

With the exception of the Year of the Snake and, perhaps, the Year of the Rooster, I could see this sort of concept being rolled out very successfully in the Chinese market to commemorate each New Year. With a box set of all 12 years commanding a premium.

If any of the pieces from Seiko's 2024 'Incredibly Specialized Watch Exhibition' merit going into production, the Pandagraph is it.
