Photo Report: Exclusive Grand Seiko Event

Last Friday we organized an event together with Seiko Nederland and Dutch print magazine Watching for fans of Grand Seiko watches. When we announced this Grand Seiko event?a number of weeks ago, our mailbox was flooded with messages from people who signed-up. However, we could only select 20 people as it was decided to keep it small and exclusive. In the end, it was stretched to 22 people that were invited to come to Amsterdam and join us for an afternoon packed with Grand Seiko.Grand Seiko EventGrand Seiko is something you still need to explain to people from time to time. The high quality is evident once you get to handle a Grand Seiko watch yourself, so we thought it would be a great idea to host a little event together with media partner Watching and Seiko Nederland, the Dutch distributor for Grand Seiko watches. We went to Japan to visit the (Grand) Seiko manufactures ourselves, in 2015 and 2017 (you can find our?Grand Seiko manufacture visit reports here and here), and gained a lot of respect for the commitment and passion we saw in those places. It is also reflected in the high quality and finishing standards of the Grand Seiko watch. Because not everyone gets the chance or has the opportunity to go to Japan, it was decided to bring the watchmaker to Amsterdam. A Meister watchmaker with a gold medal was flown in from Japan to demonstrate the Spring Drive movement to the guests.Okura
