Hiroshi Fujiwara and Seiko Are Making the Metronome Cool Again

Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and watch giant Seiko have cooked up a pair of timepieces.

Hiroshi Fujiwara fragment x Seiko watch

Hiroshi Fujiwara knows how to build heat, and his latest flex involves a wrist shot that sent his followers scrambling. The godfather of streetwear hit Instagram to offer a glimpse of the confirmed Seiko Metronome Watch fragment Edition, causing a stir with a white-dial model that feels familiar yet distinctly his.

That familiar feeling comes from the hardware, which stays technically loyal to the original Seiko Metronome SMW006A, specifically the PA50-00B0 model with its matte stainless steel case. Fujiwara didn’t mess with the chassis, but he did overhaul the interface, swapping the standard black indicators on the white version for musical tempo markings in red and BPM counts in electric blue.

Those electric blue accents pop against the chrome-finish applied indices, matching the double lightning bolt logo that sits just above the six. While the white iteration plays with color, the second version—spotted on Fujiwara’s digital YouTube magazine, QUIET—goes dark.

The dark variant ditches the playful hues for a strict monochrome palette, using crisp white markings to slice through a pitch-black background. This stripped-back aesthetic extends to the caseback, where engravings reading “VA FRAGMENT METRONOME” hint that this project might be a V.A. Tokyo exclusive rather than a global release.

‘It hasn’t just been reckless hitting’ – Rajasthan Royals’ Shane Bond on Vaibhav Suryavanshi <div id="content-body-70843775" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Shane Bond has a son who is 17. So it is only natural for Rajasthan Royals’ fast-bowling coach to reflect on the way Vaibhav Suryavanshi has taken the cricketing world by storm.</p><p>The former New Zealand pacer, one of the fastest of all time, is particularly impressed by the freedom with which the teenager bats and his maturity. “It hasn’t just been reckless hitting,” Bond said. “He has seen out the good balls, picked the balls to hit.”</p><p>He said there was clear growth in Suryavanshi’s game. “And there is growth with a little bit of stubble,” Bond smiled. “He is obviously looking a little bit older than he did last year. I would never have those expectations of him at such a young age. But the way he has managed so much cricket — churning out runs, bringing energy and wanting to come to training — it is remarkable.”</p><p><b>ALSO READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/ipl/ipl-2026-vaibhav-suryavanshi-vs-jasprit-bumrah-contest-rr-v-mi-rajasthan-royals-mumbai-indians-latest/article70837310.ece" target="_blank">Suryavanshi vs Bumrah — Much-awaited duel offers expected fireworks</a></b></p><p>Bond said it was fun to watch Suryavanshi’s success. “The boys love it, seeing him around the group, but also watching the way he is scoring. It is something special because it is something I have never seen. I think that is what people get so excited about. They just haven’t seen anything like that before.”</p><p>The coach was also happy with his own department. “It is not only just the fast-bowling group, but the bowling group in general and the team have played really well. There is a quiet confidence about the way we are going about things.”</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 09, 2026</p></div> #hasnt #reckless #hitting #Rajasthan #Royals #Shane #Bond #Vaibhav #Suryavanshi
