Why customers love Grand Seiko?

Grand Seiko's quest for excellence takes on its full meaning with this magnificent Snowflake. The characteristics of the watch appear gradually, making it difficult to establish a hierarchy as the whole is so close to perfection. At first contact, the piece surprises with its lightness. The resulting comfort is very appreciable and, going beyond the idea that weight is necessarily synonymous with quality, you quickly get used to it. The dimensions of the case are perfect and the alternation of polished and brushed surfaces offers a magnificently successful ensemble. The Zaratsu polishing delivers incredible perfection. Despite the absence of micro adjustment, the bracelet is easily adjustable by playing with the links of different sizes that can be removed without difficulty. Too tight? Reverse a short link and a wide one. Too loose? Replace a small link with a large one. The dive into the dial is a sumptuous journey between reliefs, light and reflections. The sapphire crystal is instantly crossed, invisible. The polishing of the indexes and hands is dazzling, it allows instant reading of the time even in very low light conditions. Thus the slightest movement of the wrist catches the light and the eye in a dazzling alternation of reflections. Finally, the dial is of a rare purity, between frozen snow and parchment paper, it reveals a relaxing and admirably executed landscape, poetically swept by a sober blued seconds hand whose fluidity of movement is hypnotic. On the battery side, the Spring Drive movement brilliantly reveals its skillfully mastered aesthetic. The treatment of the parts that compose it is as rigorously executed as the rest of the watch. Echoing the fluidity of the seconds hand, the continuous rotation of the regulator wheel seems imperturbable.

A bit of poetry with this superb SBGE305 whose dial is inspired by the Hotaka mountain! Beyond poetry, this dial is just incredible and goes from sunburst red to matte burgundy in the blink of an eye. In addition to that, proportions for a diver that suit my chicken wrist and above all a well-respected balance. The movement is not left out with the famous Spring drive of the Japanese house. And yes, Grand Seiko also knows how to make sports watches!

This Grand Seiko watch was recently acquired during a trip to Japan. It stands out for its dark blue dial of fascinating depth that captures the light from different angles, creating subtle and elegant reflections, as well as its case cut with a billhook. Its simplicity is its strength: three hands powered by the Quartz 9F caliber, nothing more, for perfect readability and a refined design. The finishes, of unparalleled precision, reveal the excellence of Japanese watchmaking, where every detail is taken care of to perfection. With such a level of quality at an affordable price, this watch embodies the very essence of accessible fine watchmaking, combining refinement and precision.

After watching a very comprehensive report on the spring drive movement that definitely convinced me that this movement is indeed a mechanical movement above all, I started to analyze the different models and see which one could suit me best. At the same time I was looking for a green watch. By cross-referencing the 2 criteria (spring drive + green dial) I arrived at this SBGE257 model. In the process I went to an AD Grand Seiko (Bijouterie Médard in Versailles) where I had the chance to try it. After 2 days of thinking about it I went back to buy it. For 8 months it is the watch that I wear the most, it is superb from all angles. The dial is matte most of the time and becomes sunray in strong light. The precision of the springdrive is obviously unbeatable (I noticed a drift of 1 to 2s per month). The zaratsu polishing of the hands and indexes is incredible. This is one of the watches that raises the most questions when I wear it, especially with its second hand with a perfectly fluid movement that slides endlessly. As you will have understood, I highly recommend this model. With my Rolex Explorer II, it has become my favorite daily. The only downside: the screws on the bracelet links are really very small and difficult to handle (the bracelet should be adjusted by your watchmaker).

This watch had fascinated me for a long time. Having only seen it in photos, I was eager to hold it in my hands. It was during a stay in Paris that I was able to admire it in real life in the boutique on Place Vendôme. It was love at first sight. Its sparkling dial is of rare beauty. Depending on the lighting, it changes from white to gray and subtle pink. The Spring drive movement, which lets the seconds pass in a continuous flow, is captivating and soothing.
