To commemorate the 25th anniversary of its iconic Caliber 9C watch, Grand Seiko recently organised the World Of Grand Seiko event and launched the Grand Seiko pop-up store at Crown Atrium, King Power Rangnam.
A mechanical watch is not just a timepiece, but a reminder of the unfinished mission of Seub Nakhasathien, who laid down his life for conservation in 1990. At the helm of Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in Uthai Thani, he suffered numerous setbacks from deforestation and poaching to poverty. And after eight months of stewardship, he cleared his decks, made a will and shot himself in his quarters out of frustration in a bid to raise public awareness of environmental protection.
