Two locations in Japan, two studios and three movements

The Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi is located in the mountainous area of Iwate prefecture in Northern Japan while the Shinshu Watch Studio is surrounded by the beautiful mountains and lakes of Shinshu in the center of the country.

While having different locations and histories, the two studios are equally committed to the same, strict standards of Grand Seiko’s philosophy of manufacture and every detail from development, design and manufacturing to assembly and adjustment is meticulously planned and conducted in-house.

Three types of movements are used in the Grand Seiko collection:
Mechanical
ーfrom the Hi-Beat 36,000 to 28,800 vph.
Spring Drive
ーbringing together mechanical and electronic watchmaking for the best of both worlds
Quartz
ーExclusive quartz movements with uniquely high functionality
