Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Shinji Hattori, President and CEO of Seiko Watch Corporation. Within the landmark Wako building in the heart of the Ginza shopping district, Mr. Hattori discussed how his family values have molded the way he runs Seiko, the importance of Japanese watchmaking, and the international launch of the Grand Seiko collection.
This month marks the launch of the Grand Seiko collection worldwide (see the new global site here.) If precision and reliability are important to you, the Grand Seiko line may redefine your definition of a luxury watch. Simply put, Grand Seiko watches are among the best kept secrets in modern watchmaking.
