Hiroshi Fujiwara recently teased a potential collaboration with Seiko on his Instagram, hinting at a Metronome Watch fragment Edition. While details remain scarce, the post has sparked speculation among fans and collectors, given Fujiwara’s history of blending streetwear aesthetics with heritage brands.
Seiko, known for its precision timepieces and occasional experimental releases, has not previously collaborated directly with fragment design, making this tease particularly intriguing. The teaser photo indicates a stainless-steel and quartz-powered model, going by the reference number of PA50-00B0.
Launched originally by Seiko Instruments, the PA50 series was designed with a specific concept: to provide musicians with a portable, stylish alternative to bulky digital metronomes. Traditionally, Seiko’s Metronome watch is packed with musical utility, including the ability to sound reference tones (A4 and Bb4) for tuning and a BPM range of 40 to 300.
Speculation around the watch points to a minimalist yet experimental design, likely featuring fragment’s signature lightning bolt logo alongside Seiko’s. Given Fujiwara’s track record of limited, sought‑after collaborations, the project would most likely be a Japan or regional-exclusive release.
