Introduction
The Credor Eichi II represents the highest expression of Japanese watchmaking. Created by the celebrated Micro Artist Studio in Shiojiri, the same workshop responsible for the Sonnerie and Minute Repeater, it is a watch that pursues absolute refinement through simplicity. Introduced in 2014 as the successor to the already legendary Eichi I, the Eichi II embodies Credor's philosophy that true luxury lies not in excess, but in flawless execution. Every component is painstakingly finished by hand, resulting in a timepiece that comfortably stands alongside the finest creations from Switzerland's most prestigious manufactures.
Produced in extraordinarily small numbers, with the Micro Artist Studio completing only around twenty watches each year across all Eichi II variants, the reference GBLT999 is among the most exclusive contemporary dress watches available. Its pristine white porcelain dial is crafted by Noritake and individually hand-painted, while beneath the sapphire case back lies the manually wound Spring Drive calibre 7R14. Combining the beauty of traditional hand-finishing with Seiko's revolutionary Spring Drive technology, the movement delivers a perfectly smooth gliding seconds hand and exceptional chronometric performance. Housed within a 950 platinum case, the Eichi II is a masterclass in restraint—proof that exceptional craftsmanship needs no embellishment.

THE DIAL
Crafted from white Noritake porcelain, the dial is individually finished and hand-painted by a single artisan. Delicate blue Roman numerals and the heat-blued hands create an extraordinary sense of depth and purity, perfectly reflecting the minimalist philosophy of the Eichi II.
THE CONSTRUCTION
The Zaratsu-polished 950 platinum case is intentionally understated, allowing the craftsmanship to speak for itself. Measuring 39mm in diameter and just 10.3mm thick, its elegant proportions are complemented by a sapphire display case back that showcases the movement in all its remarkable detail.
THE MOVEMENT
The manually wound Spring Drive calibre 7R14 is assembled and hand-finished by the artisans of the Micro Artist Studio. Combining traditional mechanical architecture with Spring Drive's revolutionary glide-wheel regulator, it offers exceptional accuracy while displaying one of the most beautifully finished movements produced anywhere in contemporary watchmaking.
Condition
Watch is in overall excellent condition. The platinum case shows surface scratches to the bezel and lugs, with a couple of deeper scratches to the upper left lug. The dial and hands are in near-mint condition. It is fitted with a leather strap and a platinum Credor deployant clasp showing surface scratches to the face of the clasp. Comes with the inner and outer boxes, guarantee paper (purchaser information has been cut out), booklet, hangtag and additional service paperwork from 2023.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
The Eichi II is widely regarded as one of the finest time-only wristwatches of the modern era. Every detail, from its porcelain dial to its exquisitely finished Spring Drive movement, reflects an uncompromising pursuit of perfection. Produced in remarkably small numbers and finished to standards that rival or surpass the very best of Swiss haute horlogerie, it is a watch for collectors who value craftsmanship above recognition—and one of the purest expressions of contemporary watchmaking.
