What pops up immediately when people presented with GRAND SEIKO (GS) is the association with SEIKO watches – some a-few-hundred-dollar watches being exhibited in any shopping mall. In spite of sharing the same name SEIKO in both brands, that is where the similarity ends.
GS is a truly high-end take on the watch industry. Mr. Philippe Dufour once said in an interview that the best watchmaking did not stay in Switzerland anymore. He strongly implied Japan and Germany. Now GS is no stranger in the luxury watch race.
Shown here is one beautiful example to prove all of the above, the GS ref. SBGR287. The first thing one might notice is the dial which GS has a strong fame for making. Exquisitely finished fabric-like texture, it gives a look that guarantees you will not see elsewhere. In certain angles, it really becomes like the snow is drizzling, which can amaze any watch enthusiast.
The blued seconds hand plays a key role, complementing the dial perfectly well. It brings fresh and unbalanced asthetics against the monochromatic hue of the dial.
Accuracy is what everyone appreciates when talks GRAND SEIKO. Achieved thanks to the neatly finished automatic calibre 9S65, which is adjusted to 6 positions and can store up to 3 days of power reserve.
All together accompanied with the well-known Zaratsu polished case, this GS offers the wearer purity, simplicity and practicality.
