GS is great but it has gotten too expensive over time. With 9-10K, id rather get a solid Omega Speedmaster or Seamaster. Add 1-2K more and you can get a Rolex Submariner or a Yachtmaster
@@mysterio5837 As they say, you get what you pay for. The way I look at it is GS represents value which savvy collectors can benefit from. Rolex and Omega make solid watches, but they are what they are because of their immense marketing budgets not because they are innovating. GS however is at a different technological and artistic level and being such might not be for everyone. It is intriguing though that the brand attracts a very strong following which makes it a commercial success. When people vote with their wallets it is hard to argue. A large part of the watch enthusiast community looks at Grand Seiko as a brand of the future.
@@mysterio5837Their prices reflect the increase in quality as well unlike other brands. You shouldn't compare an Evo9 (9SA5, 9R31, 9RA2 etc.) Grand Seiko to any Rolex or omega. Their movements rival JLC, Glashutte Original, AP (their finishing sucks) and much more. If you're talking masterpieces, they go to the stratosphere in quality and rival Duffour, Laurant Ferrier and Debithune.
Grand Seiko is manned by passionate human beings. Rolex is manned by a accountants, wealth managers and technicians tuning robots. Very efficient robots, mind you.
Naito-san, this year I turn 50 and I am gifting myself a Grand Seiko which I know will be proudly worn by me, my children and hopefully my grandchildren. Please thank your team for the incredible work they do.
This video reinforced why I love the brand so much and made me feel proud in owning my GS watches. I have the utmost respect to GS and there is no other brand like it. GS leaves everyone behind including Patek and all those giants who might be more complicated but don’t invest even 10% of the attention and commitment of GS. Is just miraculous.
A few years ago I sold my Nautilus as it was becoming uncomfortable to wear (a status symbol and way overpriced on the secondary market). And I discovered Grand Seiko after having collected Seiko divers for years. I will never go back. I own 5 modern GS and a few vintage ones. With these releases I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop, especially as I visited the Shizukuishi studio last week. Congratulations for keeping the genuine pursuit of horological perfection alive, and for an outstanding, very Japanese, perfect video.
This is INCREDIBLE. The romance and the elegant presentation of their natural inspiration blending into the design of the watch to put us into the designers mind?!?! WHAT?!?!?! This format NEEDS to be a mainstay in the Grand Seiko marketing strategy. It turns their nicknames and descriptions from cheesy overused stories to a beautiful ribbon of horological poetry that you can see and feel. I desperately want to make the pilgrimage to Japan to buy a 9SA4 watch from their flagship store now.
The mix of the GS44 cases and the 9S movement is truly next level stuff. Combined with nature-based dials (and now wag-tail movements), Grand Seiko is once again leaving European horology in the dust. This presentation by Naito is very impressive, as are the new design choices. Birch bark reads better than birch forests and many of us welcome the less amputated E9 hour hand. Grand Seiko does not always hit the mark the first time -- but they iterate much faster than most Swiss brands can.
Thank you for this amazing presentation, Naito-San. I really appreciate Grand Seiko's attention to detail and commitment to quality. I'm motivated to respect the time, spend the time wisely, and do well to earn a GS soon.
Even though GS are trying new technology and new things, all the time, their foundations with links to nature, craftsmanship and objects having more than just function, it's awe inspiring.
I knew I made the right decision on purchasing my 1st GS, then followed by a second. I enjoy the quality and value every time I look at it on my wrist and hope to one day acquire my grail GS model. Keep it up and keep improving.
Thank you very much for this presentation! In 2023 I was lucky enough to visit this horological landmark, the Seiko House Ginza in Tokyo, myself! There are some great new achievements for Grand Seiko as the most elegant handwound pieces always lacked a bit of refinement due to their case thickness. The new 9SA4 calibre will be a game changer for future Seiko dress watch releases! The new SLGW003G is only 10.0mm thick!
Grand Seiko is the greatest watch-brand. The technological innovations & unique aesthetic beauty is second to none. I had the privilege of visiting Wako Ginza and purchasing the SBGA375 last year. Every morning, there is a huge sense of pride and honour when I wear it on my wrist. Naito-san sir, congratulations on the outstanding 2024 releases
I went to the Seiko building featured here, in January. I wish on the floor with the more historic GS stuff shown in this video, that we were allowed to take photos. It was a really cool place that I would like to look back on. Maybe in the future.
Congratulations President Naito-san, and your colleagues. The watches look fantastic. I hope to own a traditional Japanese watch to complement my Japanese fountain pens.
Exactly what I predicted and what I wanted .... But that Kodo was certainly a surprise! So stunning I might cry. Please put the 9sa4 in a grand Seiko first case. That's an instant buy for me.
That red, color-changing dial made me tear up for two reasons. One, it is absolutely beautiful and a marvel of engineering, and two, I will never be able to afford one of them. 😞 It will get added to "the list of things I'll never have." I think I'll place it next to the Bugatti Veyron near the top of the list. Everyone, seek an honorable life and have some fun along the way. That clock is ticking!
hand wind birch - a winner! The color changing GMT chrono is fantastic - love to see on more watches. Also hope Kodo is made in greater numbers and lower prices soon!
lol. Guys, just add micro adjust to ALL of your bracelets, and we’ll be happy. MICRO-ADJUST MICRO-ADJUST MICRO-ADJUST MICRO-ADJUST MICRO-ADJUST MICRO-ADJUST
Way, way more thrilling than what Rolex is introducing. Not even close. Grand Seiko is becoming the new benchmark in watch design and innovation!
GS is great but it has gotten too expensive over time. With 9-10K, id rather get a solid Omega Speedmaster or Seamaster. Add 1-2K more and you can get a Rolex Submariner or a Yachtmaster

I love GS, but I dont understand the need to constantly validate what Seiko is doing by shitting on Rolex or saying it's better.....
Naito-san, this year I turn 50 and I am gifting myself a Grand Seiko which I know will be proudly worn by me, my children and hopefully my grandchildren.
Please thank your team for the incredible work they do.
Congrats! 🥳🥳🥳🙏
Year it proudly and share a picture on your wrist when you have time. Best of luck.
Incredible releases again, and what a phenomenal presentation by Mr. Naito! Love the wagtail bird in the winding mechanism❤
One day, when I'm successful, I will own a seiko, and if I do really well, a grand seiko
Me too, I want a Grand Seiko someday
Excellent goals. Wish you great success!
Skip the seiko. My watch gains a minute a day in less than 4 mths of owning it
@louislaw85 get it regulated? Or leave the watch on its side (crown facing up) overnight which should slow it right down
@@iain772 thanks for the tip, I'll try that out!

Love the bird like part inside the watch. Well done!
agreed, little things like these is what sets GS apart from the rest. Pure class

Very jealous you got to visit their studio, did you manage to snap some photos?
Amazing presentation! I was hooked until the end. The 9R96 chronograph looks simply gorgeous!

Can't wait to get hold of one!
Grand Seiko
Absolutely Spectacular
One of the most beautiful watches that money can buy
Congratulations
Cheers

The changing red dial is amazing ❤
Patiently waiting for my Lion to come in. It’s going to be amazing to stare at that dial.
Absolutely amazing what a fantastic video about Grand Seiko and their passion and skills in producing beautiful watches.
9SA4 is ridiculous, that is the coolest winding mechanism I’ve seen in a watch.
Grand Seiko is the company that got me into watches in 2019.
Indeed - a truly impressive presentation, combined with stunning novelties. Well done.
Fascinated by their Spring Drive. I have to get one of those.
Amazing pieces of art! thank you for your effort in making these timepieces!!
Grand Seiko
Beautiful Amazing Engineering
you wonderful people, you wonderful beautiful watch brand. I love you.
Some brands don't NEED to promote themselves, it's a mere formality. Grand Seiko is one of them.
"Lake Suwa" style watch with that gorgeous Red Dial and it's technique would be a big HIT.
One of the best watch presentations ever.
Amazing. The story behind them is what always makes me fall in love with the pieces.
I just love your "Photography" design philosophy! 📸🇯🇵
Grand Seiko
One of my favorite beautiful watches
Absolutely Spectacular
Cheers
GS really has become the Lexus of watches ⌚. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Congratulations to the team and Mr. Naito on the beautiful watches and presentation. Keep up the excellent work! Regards from Vancouver Canada.
Beautiful watches ! Thank you for all your dedication
Thank you, President Akio Naito and Grand Seiko, for showing us the Grand Seiko story and the latest superlative creations from Grand Seiko.
Wow he really awesome in English accent 😮. I love this accent it very clear for me and easy to understanding.
I knew I made the right decision on purchasing my 1st GS, then followed by a second. I enjoy the quality and value every time I look at it on my wrist and hope to one day acquire my grail GS model. Keep it up and keep improving.
That click spring ❤😍
kodo is truly masterpiece!!!
The bird brought me to tears. What an incredible company.
Stunning watches, i have a handful of seiko 5’s but hope to own one of the GS eventually….
So proud to be a GS owner, what an amazing brand to be apart of!
Beautiful presentation! I can’t wait to finally buy my first GS once I get more than enough money left over to spend.

Naito-san sir, congratulations on the outstanding 2024 releases
A truly stunning set of new releases
This is art. Beautiful.
The strap on the new Constant Force looks like a toasted tortilla.
Magnificent presentation. Magnificent watches.
Incredible, just mesmerizing.
Wow, I cannot wait for the color change dial with the manual wind 9S movement. I’ll be first in line for that one.
Amazing. I cannot wait until I get my first GS piece.
Way better than Rolex releases
Yea idk what they were thinking lol
@@Unlucky1776 true, they should just have release vintage design with modern aesthetics. The Deepsea Blue Gold looks like an Invicta homage. 😂
@@kta_0187 yea unironically too lmao. It's actually kinda sad
Buy a Rolex to impress others, buy a GS to impress yourself. I am a proud GS owner.
Just got my first GS,couldnt be happier with it
❤
Thank you for sharing
Incredible👍
*SLGW003 is going to be E9 legendary masterpiece **#need*
Incredible releases, I feel SLGW003 is going to be very popular with those who wanted the Birch / Lake Suwa models but found them a tad too big.
This is beautiful… Thank you 🙏
Outstanding. All of it.
The click spring on the 9SA4 is awesome. Its one of those perpetual pecking birds, really cool touch. Fantastic video.
Fantastic video. Amazing brand.
CEO how he spoke just huge respect to all seiko team love this brand because from so polit and kind condition love you seiko chokri

That new Kodo is amazing
I'll never be able to afford a Grand Seiko, but I am so happy they are there for me to appreciate
Perfection 💎
They're so beautiful
Proud owner of a GS SBGA415. My first purchase into the world of luxury watches.
Beautiful watches
That was fantastic!
This video is charming AF!
GS wins the best release presentation. Simply outstanding.
Thank you for the SBGJ273. I love it!!
Amazing line up!!!!!
I hold a grand seiko in city for a while it was sale teddy b learning how it works here in UA-cam must say Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆
Wow! I was enamored with GS before but now I'm in love the new designs. Home run!
Ngl this was a dope video
The new chronograph gmt with reddish dial is craaaaaazy
Congratulations President Naito-san, and your colleagues. The watches look fantastic. I hope to own a traditional Japanese watch to complement my Japanese fountain pens.
that tourbillon piece is a work of art. if i had the means, i'd choose that over any other high end watch in its category.
Bravo!
I'm looking forward to owning a GS timepiece.
Que simpático el señor Naito. Son relojes que no voy a poder comprar en mi vida pero siempre son bonitos de ver.
Exactly what I predicted and what I wanted .... But that Kodo was certainly a surprise! So stunning I might cry. Please put the 9sa4 in a grand Seiko first case. That's an instant buy for me.
GREAT! I have owned two Grand Seiko, one with Spring movement, another with 36000 Highbeats. next goal is a GS with Quartz.
That red, color-changing dial made me tear up for two reasons. One, it is absolutely beautiful and a marvel of engineering, and two, I will never be able to afford one of them. 😞
It will get added to "the list of things I'll never have." I think I'll place it next to the Bugatti Veyron near the top of the list.
Everyone, seek an honorable life and have some fun along the way. That clock is ticking!
I’m going to get one of these.
hand wind birch - a winner! The color changing GMT chrono is fantastic - love to see on more watches. Also hope Kodo is made in greater numbers and lower prices soon!
I love grants seiko so much, I wish they had a watch smaller than 38mm and under 10mm thick. Everything else is always perfect.
Really amazing
lol. Guys, just add micro adjust to ALL of your bracelets, and we’ll be happy.
