It's watches like this that make me buy a lottery ticket

Tim, you are an absolute legend and I hope that these videos will be around for a long, long time. The amount of information that you bring to us is unreal.

Every time I find a new favourite watch, when I go back to this one, I am reminded of how happy I would be just to have it and ignore everything else.

The Credor reminds of the Toyota Century - a Japanese-only car that's their flagship model, a Japanese Bentley.

I've waited for this watch review for so long!

This makes me feel things - great review, Tim

great Tim! sometimes I think I know a watch but the way you describe it then convinces me that I did not know it that well :-)

Among the many qualities most horological masterpieces of the West share is, "abundance." Whether it be an abundant amount of complications or details, every watch is a world of infinite wonder. What most watches don't express, however, is "emptiness." Art history is full of paintings with abundance, be it Hieronymus Bosch's, The Garden of Earthly Delights, or Michelangelo's, Sistine Chapel. In art history, paintings that express emptiness are relegated to second fiddle. Take, for example, Chardin's, Basket of Plums or Juan Sanchez Cotan's, Still Life with Quince, Cabbage, Melon, and Cucumber. It wasn't until the 20th century that emptiness became a force to be reckoned with. Take, for example, Mark Rothko's, Black on Dark Sienna on Purple... a painting so full of emptiness, no light escapes. Abundance in art will always take center stage but thanks to Rothko's forbearers the art world is full of emptiness. This brings me back to watches. Most every masterpiece of horology is a Hieronymous Bosch. There are few watches that express the quiet emptiness of a Chardin or the existential emptiness of Rothko, but they exist. Of course, we have to go to Japan to find them. First, there is the Credor Eichi II, with its dial entirely painted in enamel. It's a breath of God as quiet as a whisper. Then there's Kikuchi Nakagawa's, Murakumo watch. Inspired by Patek Philippe's 1941 black dial Reference No.1503, Nakagawa refines the Murakumo into a kind of purity so severe that even the black polished caseback makes seasoned watch collectors twitch with nervous anxiety. No wonder. Like a Rothko, there's nothing there.

Crazy to think a steel current production Daytona is approaching this work of art.

Beautiful watch, thank you for sharing, Tim.

That watch is beautiful! Craftsmanship is incredible!

I do love this watch, unfortunately it makes my wallet cry

My favorite watch in the collection

It’s stunning Tim Thankyou for this great review! You are an absolute legend and a real treasure to our watch community worldwide

These Japanese grandmasters are a different level.

This is the goal of my watch collecting journey.

Love those Credor😘❤️🌹

This proves that Seiko is the best watch company of all time ❤

Absolutely beautiful, yet simple 🤙🤙

Patek Philippe of Japan Great finesse

the dial resembles MVMT but the case back showing the movement is beautiful

Great watch, thanks for the review. "eichi" is hard to pronounce for an English speaker, but it's like "ee-chi", not "eich". Like always in Japanese, the "e" sound must be like in word "pet", just double the length, so it's two times "e". The "chi" is like "chee" in "cheese", but just with short "ee" sound. For Japanese it's important to differentiate double vowels from single vowels. Also roman number "II", "two" would likely be Japanese "ni". So all in all: "cre-dor ee-chi ni".

When you first said it, I thought I miss heard. When you said again that micro artist studio makes 25 watches per year, what!?

This is what watches should be like. Just leave the brand name on the dial. No need for all the verbiage. Let the dial speak for itself. ❤

Delicious can it get under 10mm thick?

That’s one gorgeous watch! 😁

Now that is a beautiful watch.

Masterpiece!

Next get the Fugaku on here..lol

Eichi 叡智 is for Wisdom in English.

This is THE grail dress watch, bar none. p.s. Tim, the auto white balance changes often in this video and they were quite distracting. Suggest setting it to a fixed temperature to avoid it.

Eh-chee (not too long with the "ee") is the correct pronunciation.

えいち or eh yi chi

30 meter water resistance

CREDOR✨

the holy grail of Credor! btw its pronounced eh-yee-chee

it’s a work of art but honestly would only consider buying at $13000 or less. Otherwise it’s just in a wishlist i hope to receive

A truly beautiful thing, the product of so much endeavour and creativity. But… the Credor logo? Awful portmanteau western word and bland design to the point of being generic. Why can’t Seiko do logos? Surely by now they’d be confident in using Japanese script?

Ahh the classic Credor "Emperor's New Clothes" comment section.

Wondeful watch. Bit of an uber profesional comentary bodering on snake oil sales

❣️❣️❣️

I will never understand how a watch this expensive and beautiful doesn't have some basic options of a $50 one..like 50 meter water proof, luminous hands or even a calendar...is insane..for these times when quartz watches give you all of that..

this is the 'toyota prius' of watches. the first hybrid watch. one of a kind technology, that can not be duplicated.

I don’t really understand this brand, like yeah the finishing is good but it doesn’t seem anything amazing 🤷🏻‍♂️ considering how much you’re paying

Oversized

if only it wasn't spring drive...

this is too huge for a dress watch ..... and for your wrist . a size of 34 to 37mm would be better for a modern dress watch

surely your pronunciation is a joke?

looks like any random Ali express BS watch.... why do we have to act like this ...literally about generic a watch as it gets... like it's some magnificent work of art... Tim just sells it well.. this thing is so corny it's killing me....
