Module by Poll Position Ltd. Co.

Today I'm wearing another watch which appears to come from a small independent watch company.

The watch is called Module, and has a very art deco or 50s feel. The watch name is written in a way that makes me think 1930s (with the other letters sitting in front of a giant O). The design looks like a 1950s home appliance with a curved plastic (like the old bake like plastics) and shiny metal look. The dial is just to the left of centre in a rectangular window, and there is a rotating disc for the date to the right of the dial. The strap has a matching colour to the case, and is real leather with the Module logo imprinted on the back.

The back of the watch shows the name Poll Position Ltd Co, which seems to be a purchasing company based in Osaka, Japan. The links I've found suggest they deal in manufacturing equipment (although those have Poll Position Co Ltd), but it may be they used that to make a line of watches. On the other hand, it could be that the back was supplied by Poll Position for another maker. The watch design also reminds me of the French Lip watches, and another link (which I've tried to translate) suggested that Poll Position Ltd Co were official distributors in Japan for the Lip brand.

  1. I have a Poll Position LTD watch that is also called Module and it looks NOTHING like that. Its is all black, square and 100% digital. I bought it at a select shop in Osaka of all places.
