Realizing world-class precision with in-house technology and skills
Since it was established in 1960, Grand Seiko’s history has exemplified perfectly the concept of the “Michi” or “the way”. Every Grand Seiko watch ever made has been as precise, as beautiful, as durable and as practical as each generation of Grand Seiko’s watchmakers could achieve and each has built upon the advances and innovations of its predecessors.
Today, Grand Seiko is true to these ideals and accepts its inherited responsibility to rise to new challenges in every aspect of watchmaking. For over six decades, Grand Seiko has used its craftsmanship, ingenuity and skills to make watches that express the uniquely Japanese aesthetic of the “Michi”. The journey towards perfection continues.
