The art of watch personalization at Modus Horlogerie

Seiko Mod watches have become a true phenomenon in the world of watchmaking.
Born from the passion of collectors and design enthusiasts, they allow the creation of a unique watch , blending Japanese precision and bespoke style .
But what exactly is a Seiko Mod? And why are these watches attracting more and more enthusiasts in France?

What exactly is a “Seiko Mod”?

The word “Mod” comes from “Modification”.
A Seiko Mod is a customized watch built from an authentic Seiko movement , such as the renowned NH35, NH38 or VK63 .
Around this Japanese mechanical heart, everything can be adjusted:

  • the case (steel, rose gold, black PVD…)

  • the dial (color, texture, indices, logo)

  • the needles

  • the bezel and its insert

  • the glass , the base , or even the bracelet

Each watch thus becomes a unique piece , designed according to the wearer's tastes.
