Karl Dy, president of Grand Seiko and Seiko Philippines
Though the event was primarily to celebrate Grand Seiko s undisputed watchmaking art, the heart of the conversation of the guests was mainly about celebrating time amidst the strange time we are in. Many guests shared about how they have adapted to the new normal and gave some pointers on why we should still celebrate our little victories in life. In connection, some guests associate their triumphs with timepieces by Grand Seiko. Hence avid collectors of the brand present at the event shared their favourite characteristics of Grand Seiko watches.
The virtual get-together ended with a presentation of Grand Seiko s latest offering, the Whitebirch Collection. Having intricate texture and fine detail inspired by the white birch trees of northern Japan, the new design ensures perfect legibility and vintage 1967 style but with a powerful contemporary feel.
