Japan's renowned watchmaker SEIKO has a history of successful collaborations with various ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) IPs, consistently delighting fans.
Now, the brand is teaming up with Riyoko Ikeda's shojo manga masterpiece, "The Rose of Versailles," for a stunning new collaboration watch! This special timepiece celebrates the upcoming theatrical anime film produced by MAPPA. Priced at 65,780 JPY, it's currently available for pre-order on the AMNIBUS website.
"The Rose of Versailles" (also known as "Berusaiyu no Bara") originally ran from 1972 to 1973 in Shueisha's shojo manga magazine, "Margaret." The story is a beautiful tale set in the opulent Palace of Versailles during the late 18th-century Bourbon dynasty, following a young noblewoman who disguises herself as a man to serve as a palace guard and her encounter with a princess from the royal family.
With over 20 million copies in circulation, the series has garnered immense fan support since its serialization. It has since been adapted into a stage play by the Takarazuka Revue and a TV anime, sparking a massive cultural phenomenon. This year, a brand-new theatrical anime film is set to release, solidifying its status as a legendary work in the shojo manga world.
The entire watch draws inspiration from protagonist Oscar's golden hair and the aristocratic flair of "The Rose of Versailles." Crafted from gold-colored stainless steel, it exudes a noble and dazzling aura. The watch face features Oscar's iconic brooch at its center, with intricately sculpted roses representing the series at all four corners – talk about attention to detail!
To commemorate the series' 50th anniversary, transparent crystal glass is embedded at the "50-minute mark" on the dial and on the "crown at 3 o'clock," adding an extra touch of elegance and luxury to the overall design.
The back of the watch is just as stunning, engraved with Oscar's brooch, her French name, and the French title of the series. Even the reverse side is irresistible!
The packaging box is equally thoughtful! The "The Rose of Versailles" logo is printed on the top of the outer box, and upon opening, the interior is also adorned with gold-printed motifs of the brooch, character name, and series title. This is truly a dream item for fans, perfect for wearing out or displaying as a collector's piece!
