>The 1970's. The Swiss watch industry is on the defensive after the significantly cheaper and technologically more advanced Japanese watches revealed the horology scam they'd been running for centuries.
>Unable to compete with their Japanese rivals in a fair fight, the Swiss cook up a devious plot to sell their most gaudy subpar shitters to unsuspecting customers under the most stereo-typically Japanese sounding name they can come up with. "Sakata" [rice paddy].
>But that is not enough. To satisfy their pettiness and to further the slight, they designate the run-of-the mill 17 jewels shitter movement the "Hiroshimatic", alluding to the city where the first Atomic bomb claiming 140,000 lives was deployed.
>Despite the fact that the Sakata Hiroshimatic is a non-automatic, hand-winding watch.
