As the late American football playing/evangalist, Reggie White, so (in)famously said: "When you look at the Asians, the Asian is very gifted in creation, creativity and inventions. If you go to Japan or any Asian country, they can turn a television into a watch. They're very creative." Reggie, we hear ya, which is why Timepiecer brings you our weekly spotlight on that very creative nation and their watches, in a section called TWIT: This Week In Tokyo.

Ah, yes, the Japanese. Lovely country. Tokyo metro system is one of the world's most punctual. They have platform guards to shove you in the cars during peak hours just so the metro will shove off in time. And yet, for the life of me, I am in constant amazement how any of this punctuality occurs, considering the fact that you need a PhD to read their wristwatches. Or, in this case, an ability to translate the graphic equalizer reading on your Winamp into a number that will let you get to work on time.

Then again, perhaps it's just their little conspiracy to keep the gaidjin down -- only done with the export models. You know, ship them out these cool yet bafflingly obtuse creations, then watch with restrained pleasure at them while they visit, missing appointment after appointment.
