Five Micro Artist Studio Masterpieces
All five timepieces have been created by the Grand Seiko Micro Artist Studio and feature a platinum case & manual-winding Spring Drive caliber 9R02 . This is Japanese watchmaking in all its glory . Hopefully, you will enjoy these timepieces as much as I d...
I also like the first one very much!
I like the blue dial too, but the engraving of the case introduces a sophistication which doesn’t match the overall simplicity and understatement imo. Best, Emmanuel
I find it interesting
That the movement finish is so high - in particular the presence of multiple sharp angles, including one inward - an area where many so-called independent fail to deliver in my humble opinion, including many on the hype bandwagon.
The hand finishing is absolutely first class.
But Grand Seiko isn’t really widely known for these very high end pieces. The first reference appeals to me very much. Best, Emmanuel
The first one is my favorite too!
It’s also the only one to have a simple signature on the dial, whereas the others have a redundant GS and Grand Seiko. And, yes, the movement finishing is absolutely first class. Best, Emmanuel
One is more gorgeous than the next!
The movements of each watch are simply spectacular. Of If I had to choose one it would be bur blue dial depicting the night sky as I have a soft spot for blue dials.
The movement is spectacular indeed.
I definitely understand the appeal of this blue dial: it seems to be awesome. Best, Emmanuel
All great watches, and the first one is the most special, in my view.
Notably, the movement in each of these is finished more elaborately than on the Credor Eichi II (look at the beautiful inward angle in the “river” that Eichi II misses).
I absolutely agree with you: the first one is very special and it's the one I would want to own.
I didn't want to get into a comparison with the 7R14, but, yes, they've gone an extra mile here: the "river" angle is simply stunning. Best, Emmanuel
Simply epic 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
If one finds the Eichi 2 too showy these definitely provide a superb range of alternatives. Thanks for collecting all of them - some came during a time when I was following the watch world less and wasn’t aware of all the options 👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ...
The first one, SBGZ005, appeals to me the most.
A stunning watch, really. I'm glad if this post, which brings them all together, proves useful. Best, Emmanuel
