Grand Seiko

Grand Seiko launched its first watch in 1960, challenging the prevailing belief that only the Swiss could produce high-end timepieces. One of the most unique finishing touches on Grand Seiko watches is the Zaratsu polish. This is a Japanese polishing technique that gives the watch an incredibly smooth and shiny, mirror-like surface. Grand Seiko is also a pioneer in modern watchmaking technology. Their Grand Seiko Spring Drive movement is an innovative combination of a mechanical and quartz movement. Meanwhile, quartz watches from the Grand Seiko Quartz line, powered by a 9f movement, are accurate to +/- 5 seconds per year.
