SEIKOSHA Marble Mantlepiece clock. SEIKOSHA Seiko = Exquisite, Sha = House. Unlike many of the marble Seikosha clocks, this one doesn’t have sharp, blocky coloured slabs. This one has smooth lines and a single colourthroughout. Vanilla shot through with caramel if you want to getflavoursome. I also didn’t crack the case soas not tointroduce moisture. It is very easy to remove the casement as itis not integral to the body. It goes straight through the stone. If one day you have to replace the heart witha quartz digital movement, it will take minutes. This clock not only tells the time, it alsotells a story.
