What do these dial finishes say about GRAND SEIKO?
There are dozens of other GS watches with their own charms and dial idiosyncrasies, but together they provide some context for the world of Grand Seiko. In each model, the brand uses different techniques to provide its collectors with a unique design.
A watch is an extremely difficult object to machine correctly. A design takes years to develop and perfect before it graces the wrist. In addition to the research and development associated with the manufacture of any timepiece, Grand Seiko also pays close attention to small details that require further care and attention from the brand in order to impress its customers or collectors.
Grand Seiko isn’t a brand for everyone – in fact, it’s almost comical to see how divided collectors are about these watches. In other words, this is the price Japanese brands pay for innovation. Rather than following the staid aesthetic of standard watchmaking, Grand Seiko embraces controversy and stands out as a company with a mission.
So whether or not the Grand Seiko finds its way into your <p>swiss luxury replica review</p> box, it deserves (in our humble opinion) your respect, if not your admiration. While the price of the Grand Seiko models isn’t comparable to many “micro-brand” watches, when analyzing similar products at these price points, the GS offers truly outstanding value.
Grand Seiko doesn’t seem to be slowing down, either. Every year, new dial finishes, textures, colors and techniques are introduced to the global market. To add a level of exclusivity without raising the price significantly, we often see limited editions and special editions like the ones mentioned above. These sometimes take the form of regional limited editions, such as the Four Seasons, which are only sold in the United States, or limited-number pieces, ranging from very small batches to thousands of pieces. Whatever your preference, there’s always a level of choice and uniqueness to suit your interests.
If there’s one way to describe the Grand Seiko, it’s disruptor. A Japanese brand steeped in Swiss legend, GS was an outsider from the start. Rather than retreating into a corner, Grand Seiko proudly embraces this identity and dives deeper into its heritage and history, firmly asserting itself as worthy of a place in the market.
