I had the pleasure to organize a Grand Seiko evening for fans…to help fans be more informed and have more information on the marvel of Grand Seiko (indeed there is a model called The Marvel in the history of Grand Seiko). Some pictures of the event: Attentatively listening to Akashi-san from Seiko: Masuda-san assembling aRead More
