326 Pink Haired Drawing Angel watch by Megahouse

Today I've chosen another watch by the hard-to-research 326.

326 is 34 year old (as of 2012) Mitsuru Nakamura. He is a Japanese artist and singer who has also worked on computer games (with Gitaroo Man on the PS2 being the most well known).

He also released a game on the Wonderswan handheld games console in 1999 with the MegaHouse Corporation. The watch label has the MegaHouse logo, and is dated 1999, so I guess this is linked with the game. This is the second of four watch designs from 326 that I have, and is quite a different style, to the first one I blogged.

This watch is a strap style watch with a small 2-hand dial. The watch head is built into the narrow strap, and looks similar to some of the Cabane de Zucca watches. On the back it says is has a Y121 movement, which may suggest that it is a Seiko watch (as Seiko has produced small dial watches with modules numbered in the Yxxx format).

The watch face features a picture of a pink haired person in a red tracksuit drawing on a table. When you look closely, you can also see the person has a Halo and small angel wings. The strap has a patch sewn on with the colourful 326 logo.
