      Maybe this is true, maybe it’s not. What I do know is Grand Seiko’s are U G L Y. I’ll take an Omega or Rolex at +2spd over a Grand Seiko even if it’s dead accurate. Of course if I wanted accuracy that tight as a priority, I’d just buy an American designed Apple Watch.

The finishing, the design, and everything related to the brand makes it a true competitor to well-renown watchmakers like Rolex, for instance. The field where GS fails is the marketing strategy, although in Asia, GS is very popular. Most people wrongfully confuse GS with Seiko, but real watch fans do appreciate it.

      @latenttweet Před rokem

      The level of explanation can go as deep as any physicist or scientific person in the industry can take it. Growing gears on silicon is something no other watch manufacturers can do. And it’s something that no counterfeiter could ever copy, it would simply be too expensive to try.
      MEMS gear would have accuracy measured in angstroms.
      weight tolerances of plus or minus picograms.
      Dimensions tolerance or picometers.
      Take all the science in the world and throw it in a watch. This is what you get. Now combine it with all the art in the world. 7 years training jsut to be able to be be a beginner at Ziratsu polishing, what the Swiss would call black mirror polishing. The list goes on and on from the silver plating on the dial representing iced over snow ripples on Japanese mountain to the blued stainless hardware done so perfectly there’s zero flaws.
      The Japanese always take thing away too far.

The thing with mechanical watches I find interesting is Is the introduction of new complications.The new interesting design of the train wheel layout. Or bring old complications back. I'd love to see more mechanical watches with alarm functions. The tiny striker hitting the chime. Idk just something about taking a well established quartz watch with an Alarm function and going back to days of Pocket watch complications. Making them even smaller. Vulcains Cricket is a awesome example. Then there is also the race to make the thinnest mechanical movement. Some are less than a thin quartz watch. This is a Automatic watch. Thinner than 5 credit cards stacked.
