The lead character is called “Porco Rosso” which translates from Italian to “Crimson Pig”, and makes his living chasing sky bandits over Italy and the beautiful Adriatic Sea. Because of this, at the very least, these watches will find buyers based purely on the rabid fan-base that the animation studio already has.Ĭreated by the famous Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli, “Porco Rosso” is a film featuring an early 20th century pilot who transforms himself into a seaplane-flying pig. Now I’m personally not a fan of anime, but I know of people who are, and the level of reverence they have for the work of the famous Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli and its main creative head, Hayao Miyazaki, is boundless in its enthusiasm.

PORCO ROSSO PLANE SKIN MOVIE
In the case of the new Seiko Presage x Porco Rosso watches, the movie that the watches are based on is one that is more specific in its appeal, being that it is a Japanese anime film called “Porco Rosso” that was released in 1992. It’s not like the Grand Seiko Spring Drivex Godzilla watch I wrote about recently, in which the appeal of the movie monster is truly a global and wide- ranging thing. It’s not a common thing at all for a watch that emerges from such a collaboration to find fans on its own based on its design and set of features. <Seiko-Presage>-Studio-Ghibli-PORCO-ROSSO-Collaboration-Limited-Edition.mp4Ĭollaborations between watch brands and movies typically rely on the fans of the movies for their appeal.
