Founded in 2012 in Japan, Otsuka Lotec brings its own identity to contemporary watchmaking. Tokyo one-man independent brand by watchmaker Jiro Katayama, known for industrial 'low-tech' mechanical watches with jumping-hour, retrograde-minute and disc time displays. It gives enthusiasts the pleasure of discovering a distinctive name before it becomes an obvious choice, with watches selected for identity rather than convention.
