I wish I can Own one by 40!

FOR 130 years, the name Seiko has been synonymous with passion and perfection in the world of watchmaking. It all began in 1881, when Kintaro Hattori established his company in Kyobashi, Tokyo.

Last Year I wasn't able to visit the Seiko 130th Anniversary Roadshow at Mid Valley Megamall but luckily this year there was something similar held in Mid Valley again recently.

Seiko mechanical watches are highly prized by collectors—from the Seiko "5" series (the 5 reflects the five essential features of the watch, namely shock resistant, water resistant, automatic, and day and date display), which is the most common, to the highly prized luxury "Credor," "King Seiko," and "Grand Seiko" lines.

As usual, my inclination is to talk about the best of the best only-the Grand Seiko!

 

Besides Grand Seiko, it is also the first time that Malaysians are given the honor to see the world's first GPS Seiko:

wanna to know the price?

Price is RM12,600!



Though sounds very technologically advanced to me but it just simply not elegant enough. I prefer the more subtle and classic type,like this one-the Grand Seiko(s)

which one is nicer? ORIS or GS?

Nevertheless, my fav piece of GS was not on display unfortunately...

The reason for the uniqueness of Grand Seiko and its exorbitant price tag is because of its super precised engineering on the polished edges which naturally reflects the sunlight thus making the watch shines effortlessly, without the need of gemstones that usually used in the European watches! Got it?

By the way, I did notice the exhibition didn't attract very strong crowd as seen in this :

probably they didn't adopt the Good Marketing Practice which is very much followed by the PC Fairs across the country.
