Grand Seiko at Watches & Wonders 2024

The poeTry of Japanese landscapes on a dial of a watch

Cyril Turban, Brand Curator for Grand Seiko Europe, talks about the new GS calibre in the Evolution 9 Collection, new patented technology for the dial of the GMT Chronograph, as well as the new Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon SLGT005.

• Hi-Beat 9SA4 calibre is the first one with hand-wound movement in more than 50 years, which allows for slimmer watches.

• The reddish hues of the sports GMT Chronograph, inspired by the beautiful Shinshu sunrise reflecting off the Hotaka landscape, were made with a patented optical multilayer process.

• And Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon from the Masterpiece collection is a revamped Caliber 9ST1 with the constant-force mechanism and a more stable amplitude of the balance. However, the new timepiece has a brighter appearance than the model from 2022, expressing daybreak.
