Tribute to Time Through Kentaro’s Eyes: “Time Goes by Forever”
Kentaro Yoshida was commissioned to create the original artwork, "Time Goes by Forever," as the foundation for this collaboration with Seiko Australia. The theme embodies the concept of time as an endless cycle, reflecting the continuous motion of life. Drawing from elements of nature—clouds and sky, sun, moon and beach, and wild plants and flowers—Kentaro’s artwork captures the essence of growth, change, and the inevitability of time’s passage.
The collection’s overarching concept revolves around time’s perpetual cycles: the sun rising and setting, plants blooming and withering, waves continuously rolling in, and clouds drifting across the sky. These motifs remind us that while time moves forward relentlessly, it is up to each of us to decide how to spend it. Each piece in the collection weaves these themes into its design, creating a cohesive narrative that celebrates the duality of time: both relentless and precious.
SRPL26K: Sun, Moon & Beach Reflecting the rhythm of the ocean and celestial transitions, the “Sun, Moon & Beach” watch shines with a yellow gold stainless steel case and matching bracelet. Its design captures the warmth and brilliance of sunlit beaches and the endless motion of ocean waves.
Kentaro Yoshida, an artist originally from a small fishing village in Toyama, Japan, moved to Australia at 18 to embrace a new lifestyle. Drawn to the opportunity to learn English and enjoy the sunny beaches, Kentaro has since made Australia his home, now living and working on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Kentaro’s passion for both traditional and digital media shines through in his pastel-coloured artwork, which often features bold lines, quirky characters, and a light-hearted, beachside humour. He specialises in hand-painted art, creating everything from large-scale murals to intricate watercolour paintings.
