Grand Seiko Watches for Men & Women

Grand Seiko watches have a distinctive look that reflects Japanese artistic tastes. The design is notable for the purity, simplicity and subtlety of its lines. Grand Seiko calls it “functional beauty,” a style that does not interfere with the reading of the time, but enhances it with harmonious case lines and uncluttered, easy-to-read dials. Key to the design are polished surfaces that reflect rays of light. Since ancient times, Japanese people have admired the subtle gradations between light and shadow in nature. With that inspiration, Grand Seiko uses a simple case design composed of a flat plane and curved line that respond to the movement of light. Grand Seiko creates this hard-edged, flat-surfaced case through a process called Zaratsu, giving the case a mirror-like smoothness where light and shadow play.
Grand Seiko makes watches with three different kinds of movements: mechanical, quartz, and Spring Drive. Spring Drive is a technical breakthrough invented by Seiko that combines the best of mechanical and quartz technologies. It’s an automatic watch that gives quartz accuracy without using a battery. No other watch company has this technology. It’s a testament to the watchmaking savvy of a firm that has made mechanical watches since 1895.

By choosing a Grand Seiko watch, you’ll be able to feel and understand the invaluable and meticulous levels of care and attention required to produce a true masterpiece. Read on to find out more about the legacy of this brand and the Grand Seiko collections for sale online with Mayors.

History of Grand Seiko

Since 1960, horologists behind Grand Seiko have been using authentic technologies to create these exquisite timepieces, inspired by the irrepressible, rejuvenating forces of nature. Grand Seiko believes the philosophy and spirituality of time exists to be understood and discovered through the manufacture of unique, handcrafted artisan watches.

The release of the first Grand Seiko watch in 1960 stemmed from a simple idea: to produce the ‘ideal’ watch with world-leading beauty, durability, and precision. With an aim to go further than existing models, including the Seiko Crown and other popular timepieces worn throughout the 20th century, Grand Seiko truly excelled.

Grand Seiko’s new caliber 3180 offered a power reserve of 45 hours and was accurate to within +12 to -3 seconds per day. Over the years that followed, the brand’s technological advancements only accelerated.

By 1968, Grand Seiko mechanical watches were recognized among the most accurate in the world. With newer alloys providing enhanced torque and durability for the innermost workings, newer Grand Seiko watches boasted impressively lower variations.

In 1988, the first Grand Seiko quartz watch was released. Manufactured entirely in-house, the 95GS watch triumphed above competitors, boasting an accuracy of ±10 seconds per year.

This esteemed company was the first to produce watches with Spring Drive movement, an innovative feature combining the best of mechanical and quartz technology to provide outstanding accuracy without the need for a battery.

Still maintaining the highest standards today, Grand Seiko keeps an intense focus on three pivotal movements: quartz, mechanical, and Spring Drive. The winner of the overall Men’s Watch Prize at the 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève was Grand Seiko’s Hi-Beat 36000 80 Hours watch, asserting a continually impressive, lifelong commitment to outstanding watches.
