FUTURE FUNK Analog Digital Watch - Waterproof Manufacturer Warranty [FF104]

Product Information

Most of the Future Funk artists use samples from City Pop songs, which apart from a few notable exceptions are sung in Japanese, using a couple of samples to remake the entire song. one of the reasons why i stopped making this music was because i simply got tired of hearing the same things over and over again. i wanted to compose, and compose differently. i didn't want to compose original future funk, i wanted to compose different music that still had my touch to it. i want to preface this by saying that this is my own opinion, and that i may either be right or wrong about what i have to say. however, this is just speculation based on what i've seen in the future funk scene for the last few years. this is also just me rambling about my concerns

Everybody knows that Swiss watchmakers represent the elite of the watchmaking world, and that used to be true for a very long time, especially since their roots run deep in the watchmaking history, but that doesn’t mean that other countries are far behind. Their prices also reflect the excellent craftsmanship, meaning that you won’t find anything in their collection priced below a few thousand dollars. Citizen is another one of the big four watch brands of Japan, a watchmaking powerhouse the world knows so well. The probably less known thing about them is their philosophy that every citizen of the world deserves to wear a high quality watch on their wrist, which is what the brand’s name stands for. A new boutique watchmaker based in Japan and born in 2005, Minase’s story began as a machining workshop and continued with making watch cases for other brands before making the leap into watchmaking and starting creating their own timepieces.

City Pop songs usually fall into this. Songs like Mariya Takeuchi's "Plastic Love" have been used as base to create a lot of different songs just by rearranging the song or using a couple of lyrics or just the rhythms.

Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: Even more than Vaporwave, Future Funk based its aesthetic into 1980's Tokyo. The use of many 80's and 90's anime clips in Future Funk videos helps reinforce this. you (most of the time) don't think of macross for his jersey club or experimental trap music, and you definitely don't think of "pegboard nerds dallas cotton remix" when you think of yung bae.Future Funk is about the quirky aesthetics, about unique timepieces that look like nothing you’ve seen before. They blend the LED displays of the ’70s with retro futuristic designs, and they do it extremely well. Their watches seem designed with the space explorers in mind, rather than your average earth inhabitant. Japan is one of those countries that has risen to challenge the status-quo of the watchmaking industry, bringing some incredibly good mechanical timepieces to life recently. The Japanese watchmakers have started producing some of the best watches the world has ever seen, and not only that, but they’ve covered all price categories as well.

Most Japanese watch brands strive to keep things local as much as possible, helping the local economy through using local materials or employing specific craftsmen from the respective area. Knot follows the same idea of keeping things in Japan, but without focusing on one specific area. There are a few well known Japanese brands that produce watches for the mass market, like Casio, Seiko, and Citizen, but these aren’t the only ones. CitizenWhile their minimalistic divers share similar traits to most other divers in the watch world, their chronographs look unbelievably unique, breaking rules and going beyond your expectations. To start, various of the artists names are written in Japanese letters (katakana mostly, but there're also in hiragana and kanji), as well various songs are named in Japanese, even when the samples used are in English. Today, Seiko is one of the biggest watch manufacturers in the world, with the capability of producing their own movements, parts, and components, something few brands can actually do. Credor is a name few have heard of. But their creations are some of the best kept secrets of the Japanese watchmaking industry. The brand is actually part of Seiko, and it’s their show-off child, born in 1974 from a desire to display the best of Seiko’s craftsmanship and horology know-how.

See also Synthwave, another Internet music genre with the same origins and aesthetics that Future Funk but with original creations instead of being based on samples as in Vaporwave; Nightcore, the inversion of Vaporwave but also internet-born, sample-based, anime-themed, and upbeat-based as Future Funk; and City Pop, the Japanese Pop Music genre from The '80s that Future Funk is mostly based. Naoya Hida has learned the trade and honed his skills working for the likes of Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, F.P. Journe, and Breguet, before launching his own company in 2019. Seiko is probably the most renowned Japanese watchmaker, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s our number one entry. They were the first to built a quartz watch, leading the quartz revolution, and offering the world a more affordable timekeeping tool, so that everyone could put one on their wrists.They try to connect the entire country in their watchmaking process, using materials from several regions and a wide variety of crafts and specialists. The result is that their watch designs are inspired by the entirety of Japan as a country and culture, without being limited to a specific region. The cases of their watches are incredibly complex and superbly finished, and house sourced Swiss made ETA movements further customized by themselves, but don’t expect their timepieces to be cheap. Mirco is a microbrand based in Tokyo. They take their inspiration from the golden age of the 1970s, creating watches that speak of that retro aesthetic, with bold and sporty designs, but without copying any particular model.
