Just received my Kurono Toki today, 37mm, fun and auspicious color. Do you think the Japanese brands will cause a huge impact to the watch industry like the Quartz crisis? I don’t think so. We now have great choices from Germany, UK, and very strong Indep...
Quartz crisis was a different animal that truly threatened the mechanical industry. Nowadays there are so many options quartz, mechanical, hybrid from different houses. It’s a smorgasbord of choices from different countries. Nice watch BTW.
and clearly gather feedback from around the world about what trend can deliver good sales results. I am positively impressed by Seiko in the last 5 years, a real turnaround for global enthusiasts appeal. I am eagerly waiting for my trip to Japan to materi...
The dials look simple but are particularly intricate in their realisation. I can't quite judge the movements but I like the casework and their deep artisanal ethos Photo credits: Naoya Hida, Lifestyle Asia and Professionalwatches ...

There are now lots of them and you might be able to offer one close to the original retail, I’m also happy with the Chrono 2 and missed the Tiffany blue version…I’m good with his brand for now.
Grand Seiko is a very solid brand with history though, and I think you made a great choice with your first green purchase there!😉 Enjoy both of these nice and fun dials!👍🥂

You're be surprised their Marketing team and/or Head may not be Japanese anymore. Diversity and inclusion is the new buzz in business environment. I'm very selective due to limited funds and I have to choose wisely. Thanks for the endorsement for my choic...
I have a GS myself and I'm wearing it right now. It's a nice watch. I just don't care too much for the nature-themed 'inspirations', for instance. Most importantly here is the work we have to put in to separate watch from branding. The watches I like (qui...

The reason is like you mentioned, the themes. I’m not a fan of watches with way too many anniversaries, celebrations and milking the ideas of 4 seasons, nature, mountains, etc I think sometimes less it more and it will keep its attractive side. However, c...
Anyway, I am sure you will enjoy both watches. I was too slow to pick up the exact GS you have - it's my favourite of the three. Very pretty indeed. Enjoy them!

It works for me because I don’t have any prior purchase history. On the other hand, the 2 versions SBGW273/277 are sold by ADs and I’m dead sure I won’t stand a chance, without “relationship”. Thank you very much. Enjoy and wear yours in best of health to...
