I was super- pumped to see the Micro Artists Studio, and Morioka, where Grand Seiko is assembled. Watch Free Movies Online Camera Obscura (2017). Turns out I was not prepared, at all. My ideas about the replica Seiko were not wrong, exactly, but they surely fell short of capturing the scale of the operation. Day one’s hour- long presentation outlining the corporate structure made that crystal clear. The multiple factory tours and huge rooms full of people and equipped with machinery both modern and ancient sealed the deal.

Therefore, in no particular order, here are four things I learned from my visit. I don’t think I’d be the only one reading this who could be accused of writing off quartz watches as cheaply made, mass- market accessories unworthy of our attention.

Pitifully, Seiko replica watches were too polite to name the other brands. It’s common for watch brands to tout their new, patented technology as revolutionary. It’s far less common for said technology to actually qualify as revolutionary. Seiko’s Spring Drive system was the result of passion and persistence, largely led by Mr Yoshikazu Akahane, who wanted to develop the perfect watch, as accurate as quartz and as everlasting as an automatic. The unique feature of Spring Drive is that the Tri- Synchro regulator uses a quartz oscillator, powered from the rotor and coil blocks to regulate the hands, resulting in quartz- like accuracy and the silky smooth glide of the hands – a characteristic of the technology.

But developing this technology wasn’t easy or fast. Today Spring Drive stands out as one of the truly unique watch technologies. If my week with the fake Seiko had one overarching theme, it was that the company is constantly striving for precision in perpetuity – a revelation that completely changed how I thought about them.

Their pioneering work in quartz technology, through to technologies like Magic- Lever, Spring Drive, Astron, and even the robustness of their Prospex series and the flawless finishing of Grand Seiko, speak to this pursuit of everlasting perfection. They might not have arrived at that destination quite yet, but that won’t stop them from tirelessy pursuing it for years to come.
