Grand Seiko

In 1960, Grand Seiko was introduced – a revolutionary watch that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the world of horology. Assembled by a team of experts, the first Grand Seiko model sought to combine precision, durability and beauty into one watch. The caliber 3180 boasted an accuracy of +12 to -3 seconds per day and had an impressive 45 hours power reserve – both firsts for Japan. It also met with the exacting standards of excellence set out by the Bureaux Officiels de Contrôle de la Marche des Montres. This high level of quality and accuracy made Grand Seiko a standout choice amongst watch connoisseurs. To improve on this pioneering design, expert technicians continued working on enhancing the accuracy, becoming one of the most reliable watches on the market with a tolerance within +6 to -4 seconds per day in 1967. With decades more experience and innovation under their belts, Grand Seiko remains at the pinnacle of timepiece engineering today – renowned for combining Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology in creating beautiful timepieces that perform with precision and can withstand everyday wear.
