This is Grand Seiko - 9R Spring Drive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Spring Drive is a unique watch technology. It generates energy like every other luxury mechanical watch but combines this with an electronic regulator to deliver a level of precision that no mechanical watch can match.
The development of Spring Drive was possible because Grand Seiko is one of the very few manufacturers with mastery of both electronic and mechanical watchmaking.
The Shinshu Watch Studio drives innovative ideas and novel technologies behind the ultimate quartz watches and Seiko's exclusive Spring Drive watches.
I started watching the video to see how Grand Seikos are made and by the end a full-on rave had formed in my room. Tiesto was hyping the crowd and all... 30.000 people. It was glorious!
Cool. How much did you charge at the door?
LOL.
Hahahaha
At first I wanted to know who did the music, then I remembered that with Grand Seiko everything is in house
@@misterhat6395 same, shazam didnt work. i need this track
Purchasing one in less than a year when I turn 50. I might even fly to Japan to pick one up.
I want something special for my 50th birthday
Definitely go for the Spring Drive, you won't be disappointed. Titanium too!
@@ericsmith1878 My sentiments exactly
Happy Birthday
I'm 50 next month and can't afford one. Enjoy.
Yes you deserve one, sir!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what they call excellence.
Yes it is. Nice piece of work.
V true
Well said... I'd add to say pride and excellence.
Another expensive mass produced shit from asia
Im here for the Euro dance track....the inhouse grown quartz crystals are pretty cool too LOL
The only manufacturer to bring tears to my eyes. Grand Seiko really does deserve to be recognized, and not just by the watch community.

Sadly they won't be, at least not in the near future :S They are kinda like Maybach in the car industry. Capable of making more luxurious cars than Rolls Roys but for many, they are just a Mercedes. GS is my favorite brand and is far better than Rolex and on par with Patek, Vacheron and AP but sadly many people consider them more expensive Seiko which is wrong.
@@predragjo5977 Yeah.. People are dumb...GS is a marvel... a state of the art...and ART.
I have inherited a Seikosha wall clock from my grandfather. This wall clock celebrated its centenary in 1995 and still in tip top working condition. Kudos to Seiko for for such manufacturing such long lasting time machines.
I have such respect for the craftsmen/women at Grand Seiko. I love seeing people dedicated to doing one thing well.
Absolutely.
A few years ago, I accidentally got a Grand Seiko watch. I didn’t understand watches then and asked a friend about watches. He told me that it was prestigious to wear only Swiss watches. And I gave a Grand Seiko watch to a relative of my wife. Oh how I regret this act. Now the crisis and I will not be able to buy such a watch.
Over the years, my idea of watches has changed a lot, and now I think that Grand Seiko watches are perfect, very concise, nothing superfluous and at the same time refined and amazingly accurate.
You fucked up big time
Damn i feel so sad for you to give out your Grand Seiko
Western brands: we have these expensive watches to sell, what music shall we use in the advert? Classical? Soundtrack music?
GS: このTECHNOパーティーを始めましょう。 もっとBASS!
lmao
This is trance not techno
Absolutely.....incredible! Every single component manufactured and assembled from scratch in house 😳 Guess I know what I'm saving up for next...

Spring Drive is the greatest movement ever produced!
I am a proud GS owner. This one, just wow... Simply a masterpiece...

I have s Seiko5 7006 calibre all stainless steel with the original bracelet. Believe me I am using it as my primary watch for the past 43 years. I have serviced it only 4 times during this period. I hope my grandson will proudly hold it for another for another 57 years to celebrate its centenary. Kudos to Seiko.
Grand Seiko in three words:
Tradition, Perfection, Innovation

You buy Rolex to impress others...You buy Grand Seiko to impress yourself.
Mostly true, but I own both and Rolex's bracelets are way better than Grand Seiko's.
@@astifcaulkinyeras Maybe but this engineering is a country mile ahead of Rolex
@ That's is a matter of taste, but yes; the engineering that goes in Grand Seiko is beyond believe.
Pietro Bembo I agree with you there.
@@astifcaulkinyeras I am sure that you enjoy them both ! ;)
Proud to own my Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT. The future of the brand looks bright!
when i started my watch collecting journey like many others i completely wrote off quartz movements as something i would never even entertain. seeing the craftsmanship and engineering of the spring drive has completely changed my opinion. the spring drive is a tremendous feat of horological engineering that has elevated grand seiko to a place of watch making status up there with the greats. i hope we see more of this movement with different complications like chronos, moon phase, day date month, ect.
I own a pretty impressive Swiss watch collection by most any standards. But you really have to hand it to these guys. Credit where it's due. Beautiful timepieces. Beautifully made.
Now I love my two Grand Seikos even more than I already do. Arigato!
Every aspiring watch collector needs to have a Seiko in their collection
Seiko is the only watch brand I'll wear for the rest of my life.
Unboxed my first GS spring drive today and am blown away by the immediately evident quality and craftsmanship! I will be wearing this with a smile on my face not because it has any inherent status but because it is simply confident in its own products and because of the satisfaction it provides me.
This was amazing, I wish I worked for Grand Seiko making watches. I absolutely love Seiko watches, forget Rolex.
I live in Switzerland. I LOVE Grand Seiko. Own 4 Grand Seiko pieces myself, will certainly add more, thank you!
Outstanding japanese craftmanship.
5:20 Wow what a smooth glide on the second hand!
Perfect!
It's the Spring Drive. An absolute marvel!
As a fine watch fan.. I have to say that my next watch will be a Grand Seiko. Absolutely superb!
Spring drive is hypnotic.
I'm impressed and I wish I could buy one sooner or later.
The dedication to take all those components, and turn it into a fine piece of art. Amazing watches.
I donot own any Grand Seiko, but follow a lot on Grand Seiko and can tell you that no other watch brand comes any close to their perfection even for the most minute item of the watch, it's truly a legend of watches.
I had a chance today to visit the Seiko Boutique, and the SGBA407 SkyFlake took my eye. I had to verify what I have been reading and watching all over the net about the finish, value for money, beauty, features and its stunning live hands on feel and look on the wrist. Absolutely amazing and I can't wait to buy this for myself for Christmas 2022. Its simply gorgeous. GO GS !! I don't think this will be my first and last GS either.
Did you get your GS for Christmas?
Yeah not that model though. Cherry blossom spring drive titanium and their hi beat model with similar but blue and other subtle colours in the mix. Very happy with the purchases
@@marcandreasson87 Congrats, that's a very fine timepiece. I bet you can't stop admiring it.
@@andoletube thank you they are stunning in my view and pleasure to wear
Amazing.
Not only the watches, but the machinery to make them.
.
Their watches are stunning works of art.
This is superb! The hardwork of those people behind the making of GS is amazing. That's why Grand Seiko create great watches. 👌👏
Their watch is the most precise and beautiful movement ever made. Quartz accuracy and perfectly smooth movement. Swiss watches have nothing on this level.
They do. Check out the zenith defy inventor
AL&S, FP Journe, Jacob & Co..... There are plenty of top tier luxury brands to compete.
@@TheRealLucifer_Morningstar jacob and co is not even watch. Its a piece of ufo in hand and its shit.
i think its a bit too rude to categorise and put ALL the swiss watches against GS...
Swiss got plenty of nice manufactures and will compete and will defeat GS at some aspects.
H.moser
Vacheron
Patek
Blancpain
not in the pricerange of GS? How about
Zenith
GP
Frederique Constant (for their silicone balance)
Omega
JLC
I think every mentioned watchbrands are nice brands and have their own story to tell the owner. Do not hate others just because you love one brand more!
As someone with big clumsy hands watch making seems like a nightmare to me
A truly staggering insight into the best of Japanese craftmanship in what I believe as the best there is in the world of timepieces
They build absolute quality. No need to pay 8 million to Federer, or sponsor F1, Wimbledon, etc and so affect the final price of the watch
I have a lower end Seiko which I bought on sale and it has been ticking away for over 20 years. If I had been smarter and paid attention in school I would own one of these.
It's never too late ;)
I picked up a used Spring Drive for $2000 (sbga083). It’s a lot of money, but cheap for a Spring Drive.
Time's change and your fortunes can turn around. Always remember nothing is permanent.😀
@@evvignes are you happy with it?
@@stu7900,
I like it a lot.
I have several straps for it, including the bracelet, and they all look great.
39mm is a good size on my 7.5in(sometimes larger) wrist.
It also works for dress or casual attire.
A modern piece of art magnifico, Grand Seiko.
the pride of japan‼️
like a fine samurai sword! Incredible!
GRAND SEIKO. A visionary brand designed to stand the test of time!
Does anyone else watch this every night before they go to bed???
I’m LITERALLY doing that lmaoo
I really would like to
I'm doing that rn ha
I want a grand seiko more than I want a rolex.
I'm slowly working towards getting one.
Truly exquisite and even though some of them are out of my price range they're a bargain when you consider how many hand steps are involved in making just one.
Just bought mine today new and at a steal! So excited!!!
Which model did you acquire? I've got my eyes locked on the "winter" model of the 4 seasons line.
Spontaneously fell in love with the sweeping seconds hand
I love grand seiko so much I would do all for a spring drive Grand Seiko!❤❤❤❤
Put $500 away every year, and in 10 years, you can buy one. It just requires discipline.
Lost for words and that doesn't happen very often. Well done Seiko ! !
Better than Rolex, in my humble
5:08 damn they even have in house made testing equipment. +0.18 sec/day!
@Adrian Shephard It doesn't matter. The idea behind it was making time fluid, to let it flow, analog, and natural. The quartz is only the necessary evil which connects the man made h, m, s system with the true nature of time. In a way it makes this beauty even more zen and yin-yang.
@Adrian Shephard It's not a quartz movement. It has a spring, wound mechanically as in any automatic watch in the world. And an electrically regulated break. A quartz movement has an electric motor, directly driven by a quartz and zero springs, winding etc. Thus the quartz in Spring Drives is not part of anything that moves.
@@wreckage-vs5jv now i'm even more impressed.
Would they show one that was off 10s/day?
Very cool! It's amazing watching precise craftsmanship in action. I just ordered a beautiful Seiko, Prospex Alpinist Limited Model SBDC091, a few minutes ago. I'd love to have a GS Snowflake, but I can't wait to see the Alpinist, in person. Maybe one day a Snowflake will be falling on my doorstep. :)
Grand Seiko stands for highest precision and engineering Art. I have a deep respect for this. If if I win in lottery, I will buy a GS and will be lucky for many, many Years.
Good Luck fella ;)
Not enough marketing videos have bedroom-produced 90s trance-great choice!
Until our minds will not be blown away from overvalue of other brands, only few will appreciate the real value of GS. Really one step beyond, with high value for money ratio. Surely this level of manifacturing is not second to PP but less expensive. Let's hope that Seiko's policy don't change otherwise for real lovers of high end watchery will be a real problem.
Agreed
Something is really happening around GS. Of course you can't become a mythical brand in a few years, but I bet the snowflake and over GS classics will become legendary in a few decades.
And of course with the company becoming more more mythical, the prices will increase.
I'll get my snowflake in the next two years, the particular model as all, and even more, to become on of the most iconic watch of the 21st century......get yours before its discontinued.
If Grand Seiko makes a Spring Drive with the ice blue dial of the SBGH295, i will be in front of the store 24h before it opens so i can be one of the first to buy it! ❤
This Wangan Midnight BGM is lit!
Simplesmente espetacular.....
Uma verdadeira obra de arte!!!
Assistindo em 2023....
Thank you for the Trance Music and the lovely watches :)
I want the Snowflake but sadly I can't afford it. Wish I could just try it on to feel the feel of owning a GS Snowflake. Thank you Seiko for the video.
Truly the art of engineering and watchmaking. Brilliant!
I like the snowflake, not keen on the choice of music
That smooth second hand is mesmerizing
This is like the best watch building video/ watch advertisement i've ever seen.
Why do I feel like I'm watching a commercial from the early 2000's
Because Japan is stuck 20 years in the past
Too busy focusing on you know, building the best watch instead of marketing...
@@tikiecue5677 true words
The sound at 3:42 is like the resonant frequency of my nasal passage or something, which made for a decidedly uncomfortable sensation...which didn't come close to hampering my enjoyment of this video. Best watches on earth.
you cant have a watch collection without a watch from the seiko group
I have Orient instead, because i think its cool that they still make in house movements for such affordable watches, and sapphire crystal as well, for a very good price.
Many a steady hand involved in making these gorgeous pieces. Fantastic video too!
Great watch, terrible music
Vitor David Aint that the truth!
That's the thing, no music will please everyone. So they should just have asked you to select the music.
I like the music of the 2000s and I appreciate your opinion as well. The world turns and times move on.
OK watch good music
I like the music for some odd reason :D something from gay club
Man, I want one of these, all my watches just feel's inferior to this now.. one day, maybe I will own a Grand Seiko
AWESOME!!
Beautiful! A lovely combination of engineering and art. 🤠👍
Awesome work quality. Glad to have one.
Grand Seiko is Beautiful.
favourite song, favourite watch
What is the song? [10ft06t]
Amazing engineering! I really loved it!
That’s really making me consider buying a GS
Muy lindo video..!!!! Hermoso reloj y exelente calidad.... !!! No tiene porque invidiar a otras marcas...!! Saludos desde Entre Ríos, Argentina. 👍👏👏👏👏
Magnifique mouvement qui allie la mécanique et l’électromagnétisme, plus précis, plus robuste, plus beau, seiko est vraiment à la pointe de l’horlogerie moderne
Simply incredible!✌🏽👌🏽
Beauty in motion. Thank you for such craftsmanship.
اليابان كوكب تانى الإبداع والابتكار والتميز في كوكبهم تحية طيبة وتقدير من القلب لهم
Spring drive is my grail watch. You guys are the best.
セイコーの時計が大好きです
でも、外国人のコメントしかないのが
寂しい限りです
もっと評価されるべきだと思います
Seiko, very good quality ...
Amazing to have a Look in japanese perfection.
look at those hand, it is shines and sharp like a Katana Sword, Respected to Japan!
japanese perfectionism i love it!
I am in love with your watches, great job and greets from Germany 👋🏻
Much more impressive thanrolex
Tom Both impress deeply. This does not take away from Rolex, nor the opposite. Best to own both!
Rolex literally makes them the same way. Just more at a time.
@@ShortArmOfGod No

Nope
The look on the guys face at 1:52, priceless.
The Japanese are true engineering masters!
Maybe one day... I want the Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT Limited Edition SBGE021. Just perfection IMO.
Best craftsmanship in watch making.
Now in the era of smart watches Seiko could encorporate this spring drive technology in hybrid kind of smart watches. This will bypass the regular charging of smartwatches. Even it will keep alive the technological legacy of spring drive.
GS number1
Beautiful, hope I can own one of this masterpieces.
Art meets technology = GS. It’s that simple. It’s that complex.
Art?
@@bannedaccount3752 The art of watchmaking, the art of design and of intricacy
@@_herb That's called engineering and, as you mentioned, designing. You should rethink your concept of "art".
@@bannedaccount3752 anything can be art, it’s about evoking emotion and thought with design. engineers are artists, designers are artists
@@_herb Dude, instead of showing your lack of knowledge on this subject, watch some videos about art if you are too lazy to read. Your naive conception of art is basically denying it: If anything can be art, it would not make sense to call somebody an "artist", because anybody can call anything "art" (even garbage, which is the current crisis in the art field with the so called "posmodern art").
This inspection part is something i would have wanted for my GS. The EU service for GS in the Netherlands is not doing their job, leaving dust particles and smudges on the dial. Ive seen amateurs do a better cleanup :(
Really impressive work!
I feel the music is fine
It's energetic, and it drums excitement
exactly, i like it.
