The Pins-Watch is the most unusual among them: a fully functional quartz watch in the format of a lapel pin, which can be worn on clothing using a bail or on a chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSuch miniature watches had a certain tradition in Japan as promotional and commemorative items but remained virtually unknown outside of Japan. For collectors, this is precisely the appeal – especially since watches of this format are naturally easily lost and rarely survive with their packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside, the Y136 quartz caliber works with an average rate deviation of ±20 seconds per month as stated by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dial is deep black and is completely dominated by the official emblem of the Games: the stylized snowflake made of six petals, which Nagano had chosen as its symbol, executed in white hatching. To its left are the five Olympic rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hour markers are reduced to the bare essentials – only the VI and XII are in Roman numerals; all other hours are set as fine white dots. The slender white hands stand out clearly against the black background. The result is a dial that is read more as a badge than a watch, and that's precisely why it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe polished case frames the dial in a narrow, double-profiled rim; the bail is at the top, also serving as crown protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe number 750743 on the case back dates the watch to May 1997 according to the usual Seiko system – about nine months before the opening of the Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe watch is unworn.
