@@Gabe_the_watch_enthusiast when to ad gs and still think a seiko is thwe same gs with the gs cost i rather buy a second hand is a lot cheap with 5k a tudor is better . so tell me a reason to pay 5k for a GS?
The english speaking Seiko guy is very knowledgeable and well spoken. I could hear him for hours. I know is his job, but you can tell he is really good at it.
He is incredible! I actually knew him back when he was working at a grand seiko boutique in Miami and he is probably the most knowledgeable and passionate person I've ever known. Absolutely fantastic dude in person, grade A individual. I'm so happy he is where he is, couldn't think of a better person for the job!!
I had the honor of meeting Joe at a GS boutique in Beverly Hills CA last week. He was a pleasure to talk to as I showed him my Dec. 1975 Seiko 6139-6005 that I have worn for the past 48 years (he took a photo of my Seiko). He is very knowledgeable and a true gentleman.
Agree. I have had the opportunity to meet Joe in Maryland (I acquired the SBGA 273 Autumn from Little Treasury Jewelers) and in Las Vegas. His knowledge of the brand is impressive. A great ambassador for GS.
I've not met that guy Joe, but I walked into a local GS boutique a while back wearing a 60s/70s Seiko that I daily and the salesman there treated my $200 vintage Seiko like any of the several thousand dollar watches in the boutique. I was super impressed by the customer service there and the knowledge they all had
Joe is the perfect gentleman for his job. One rarely sees someone as precisely in the right spot. Great video, Teddy. More Seiko, Grand or other, please. Saving up for a GS. Gonna take a while. Family wants food and all sorts...
im a japanese company worker for 4 years now to celebrate my 4th year in the company and for my coming 22nd birthday. i've decided to buy something special for my self and i happen to cross the Grand seiko shop near the company i work for. it didn't really get to me why a person would buy such a highly priced thing for such a " Simple"information it gives you [it just tells you the time] ( forgive my English)😅 but after watching this video i think why one would appreciate this kind of mechanical beauty and i really appreciate the effort you have putted in this video.
a good mechanical watch is something i'd like to keep. it requires no batteries, it is beautifully made with precision gear etc. it's like we have them to marvel at their beauty and engineering. sure, a smartwatch or a phone is sufficient to tell time. but Humans have always appreciated beauty, both in life and everything else.
What's impress me the most is how Grand Seiko elevate everything, including their own quartz movement. Have an hi-beat and a quartz. The value is amazing.
Lots of plastic parts. GS are good but way Overpriced for a half quartz movements, it's far cheaper to produce a half mechanical vs full mechanical movement. They did well marketing spring drive as something superior, but it's really just more inexpensive to produce, same reason went power plants went from steam to digital
@@bdegrdsthe difference between a spring drive and a fully mechanical movement is that the balance wheel is replaced by an extremely complex regulation through electromagnetic braking. Apart from this significantly more complex solution, the watch is driven by a main spring just as any mechanical watch. spring drive also has many more parts than a mechanical movement. Not sure about “lot‘s of plastic parts”, can you give examples?
@@stefanmuche2891don't mind him, he is just a troll, the presentation clearly showed the assembly production in Seiko Epson.Even the 9F has full metal parts.
I had never considered GS prior to going into a store to check them out, when I saw them in the metal I was absolutely blown away, and went on a tear to learn more about the brand and make acquisition(s). Having now 2 of them (dressy Spring Drive, and sporty GMT - with a Sapphire Bezel!) even when not wearing them, I often take them out and just examine the artistry under the light. Amazing watches. No, not perfect, no brand is, and I have/had a few, but hats off to GS for doing what they do so well. Thanks Teddy for highlighting this brand and enlightening us all about it.
GS has proven its mastery on the dial design and it shows its magic with light play. How is the build quality compared to Omega Aqua Terra? I feel the latter too has been well thought, designed and executed in a beautiful way.
Teddy, 10 years ago, did you ever see yourself owning your own watch store, or getting to tour these awesome locations? You've poured your heart into this hobby. Good for you man.
Well done Teddy! Your watch videos are among the best… balanced with information and intrigue. Amazing brand too! Watch enthusiasts that are “in the know” understand Grand Seiko’s quality, skill and technical contributions to the watch “world” are unique and unmatched in many aspects. More than “just a Seiko”! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Finally! I've counted every day to this video! GS is really such an emotional brand with so much history. And you can clearly hear from the great host and ambassador Joe Kirk that there is passion and pride for the brand everywhere. I'm very honered to own three GS pieces, each one with another movement technology. Thank you so much for this video, Teddy & GS!
Certainly the best report I have seen so far on the Grand Seiko brand, with very beautiful shots of the movements. Since I became the proud owner of a Grand Seiko watch, it never leaves my wrist, to the detriment of my other watches! Greetings from France 🇫🇷😍
J’ai une SLA043 avec un mouvement GS et manufacturée par Grand Seiko. Elle est juste incroyable. Quand je raconte l’histoire de cette montre et le côté manufacture artisanal, les gens en reste bouche bée. Je fini par les achever en annonçant la précision du mouvement: -1 S/J Je rêve de pouvoir obtenir un de leurs modèle habillé.
Thanks for the video... I got my first gs two weeks ago... It is a cream dial with basic manual movement... I'm so happy to share Japanese philosophy of making things... TB Please go on your excellent videos and speechs.
I was able to visit the Shizukuishi studio for the mechanical side, but the Shinshu studio was not open to the general public. Glad you were able to make this video so I can finally complete my Grand Seiko inside look!
I still have my seiko turtle diver I purchased in university in 1980. With the 7R26 movement that was the tank of the industry for years. Love this watch to this day.
Because of Teddy I bought my first luxury watch three years ago. For all the reasons in the video and comments here, I decided on the SBGP015 a quartz 9F85. I have worn it daily, it literally has become a part of my life. Great to see Joe and Teddy show the respect of this truly remarkable movement. Incredibly, it has not lost one second in those three years aside from the battery switch which was covered by GS. For my upcoming retirement I am going to reward myself with a Spring Drive. But my SBGP015 will always be there. Thanke Teddy and Grand Seiko.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the Grand Seikos are the most intriguing. Something about that spring drive thats captivating.
I can’t agree that Seiko guy is so passionate about Seiko. Joe is speaking in the same tone, doesn’t go into details but instead repeats words such as amazing, complex, individual, doesn’t have answers on so many fundamental questions. I can’t say I learned about GS from him more than I did from Teddy. Teddy, go for it. Deserve it.
I don’t have a GS but I have a high end seiko sje093 which was designed by taro tanaka. It has sharp lines and is zaratsu polished. It’s really impressive appears like a mirror. A fellow enthusiast spotted it from across the room and came up to check it out.
Amazing engineering!!!Japan is really good in making hybrid systems on anything. Instead of having a lithium battery as the energy source, the compressed spring drives it and the crystal oscillator and integrated circuit controls the magnetic field and electric current. Just producing an electric current from that small coils driven by that spring is amazing!
What an amazing video! It was great to hear the two people at the end talk about their passion for their work. I can’t wait for the Grand Seiko event at Teddy’s store in Cleveland!
I mean what an amazing video to convey craftsmanship! I think an important thing to note is the culture of Japan, these craftsman are taught to take care of every task from a very early age!
Thank you, Teddy. I now have a greater appreciation for my GS S-D. I also appreciate the fact that both you and Joe are very articulate in your explanations, particularly in a world where English is now a commodity, not an art form.
Teddy I just bought my first GS Spring Drive! It's an older SGBA083 but in immaculate condition. Thank you for sharing these amazing watches with us and helping me decide to buy a GS!
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
Picked up a AMZWATCH's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Great video! Nice to see a brand opening its doors and show how proud they are (as they should)! I realy love the Japanese passion for perfection and innovation. I love how Grand Seiko is trying to convince watch enthousiasts with the quality of their product instead of creating hype and stupid scarcity games. I own two Grand Seiko's myself and really love them!
I've been anticipating your tour of the GS design studio and I must say it didn't disappoint. I wish it could go into more detail but that's what happens when someone truly admires the quality product that is GS.
Wow! Thanks for going above and beyond to produce this video. Does so much to illuminate the craft and innovation. Excited to see the new hand wound birch Spring Drive in the middle.
Amazing look behind the curtain of this fantastic brand. The beauty of all this hand made finishing and attention to detail is truly inspiring. Thank you for this video.
Nobody does these videos quite like TB. Incredible quality. Joe always looks like he cannot believe he got that great job. Thank you for making this content. One comment if I may. It would be great to talk about stability rather than accuracy. … and rate
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MaMaCoo and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Great job of course . I just heard Andrew Morgan say " wears like a spray on tan " and immediately thought how much fun it might be to hear someone like Joe incorporate that into a relative sales pitch .
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
I only own one Grand Seiko so far and it's the blue snowflake dial quartz edition. It is an absolute gem and I've worn it several times but it is so very special to me
Teddy, Outstanding Video! I recently purchased a snowflake and the polishing on a titanium case is the best…period!!!! Truly could be a one watch collection and definitely a timeless piece in a sea of blah mid tier watches
Another fascinating video on the craftsmanship of GS. Thanks. Loved the other one at the mechanical watch studio. Real cool to see the people who made your watch!!!!! Had a sbga413, but traded in if for a black birch. Still have a sbga429 . My 2 newer spring drives ran at plus .5 sec a day fast. Still very good. My older sbga111 runs at 0. Pretty much keeps pace with my 9f quartz. Outstanding accuracy. My expensive high beat ........plus 5 to 6 Love these videos! Thanks
Thank you for the video! I live in Japan for the last 3 years this time around and i absolutely love this country and of course GS. I hope you have the opportunity to go to the studio in Shizukuishi and get to tour the country. Huge fan of your work for years and i wish you the very best.
Teddy is out here leading the pack with the factory tours, and CEO interviews. Thanks for doing this kind of stuff, instead of talking about resale value and other UA-cam bs. The enthusiasts thank you! The content that you provide has always been above average, but it very quickly became some of the best. I know you, and your entire team put a lot of effort into this! Side note:I would love to see a Mido factory tour at some point. I’ve become a huge fan of the brand, and I’ve seen your interview with the CEO, along with the other SWATCH Group CEO interviews and tours. I’m very curious if they assemble their movements on site, as they show in their promo videos.
This was a wonderful video. Thank you for the insight and the view inside Grand Seiko's studios. I am in love with this brand and just purchased my first Grand Seiko watch the "Shosho" GMT. I am 110% satisfied and feel very confident when I wear my watch to different meetings.
I just recently acquired my first GS, I love it, a SBGF019 quartz with the 8j56 movement. I know that the 9f is their flagship quartz movement, but I think this 8j is right there with it. Hopefully some day I will be able to save up and afford a spring drive, my dream watch.
Incredible brand and video Teddy. Actually had to pause the video part way through. Go to my watch box. Change out of my FXD into my GS. Then continue the video 😅♥️
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.
I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
wonderful content. I've been watching your Grand Seiko and Japanese horology scene with great interest. These folks are NOT fooling around and are superior to all but the finest watch manufacture in Switzerland.
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.

Seiko is my all-time favorite watch brand and one of my goals is to do the exact same thing you’re doing in this video take a tour thank you so much for what you do Teddy
Thank you for bringing us along for the journey to Seiko in Japan Teddy. Another great video. I am very impressed with the Seiko brand through its commitment to excellence and through constant improvement of their products. I am heading back to Japan and will be interested in purchasing my first Seiko watch. Although I am not wealthy, I will be looking to purchase a second hand Grand Seiko with spring drive technology if I'm lucky! Keep up the great work. Regards from Vancouver Canada. 🙏🏻
Wow. Awesome episode. The quality of the video is first rate, like the subject matter. I am inspired to someday obtain a Grand Seiko for myself. Thank you Teddy.
Already great cinematography and video pacing keeps improving, amazing work by you and your team, Teddy! Thanks for sharing this awesome look inside Grand Seiko
So cool, so much time, effort and care going into each piece. Hopefully their movement technology will transfer to Seiko so the masses can experience it.
The craftsmanship, the culture, the history.
This is why I love Grand Seiko.
Grand Seiko is most overrated brand of all time
@@Gabe_the_watch_enthusiast Shut up, Gabe.

As an eye surgeon that does surgery under a microscope, their hand stability is outstanding!
Have you ever pulled a nail out of someone's eye?
wait till you see those micro soldering guy do their work.
can confirm, I was the eye
My hands are not that stable
Not even close.
I dont drink or anything they just shake a lot. And im young.

The english speaking Seiko guy is very knowledgeable and well spoken. I could hear him for hours. I know is his job, but you can tell he is really good at it.
Agreed. Great job by Seiko PR to get a native english speaker to explain the intricacies.
Likely a technical sales rep. Spend enough time talking about the product with the designers, things will eventually just be burned into memory.
Whatever that guy does day to day is likely a dream job.
Too bad his suit is slightly too tight for him, creating bunching and creasing under the chest. He needs someone like Teddy to help him with his style
He is incredible! I actually knew him back when he was working at a grand seiko boutique in Miami and he is probably the most knowledgeable and passionate person I've ever known.

How can you not fall in love with Grand Seiko? Incredible work Teddy!! Thank you, this was amazing.
Watching the second hand on a spring drive sweep so perfectly smoothly is so satisfying! Especially if it is over a snowflake white dial.

This is one of the best, if not the best, watch content I've seen on UA-cam. I now want to see how Citizen makes its Caliber 0100 in their factories.
This was a wonderful video. Thank you for the insight and the view inside Grand Seiko's studios.
I am in love with this brand and just purchased my first Grand Seiko watch the "Shosho" GMT. I am 110% satisfied and feel very confident when I wear my watch to different meetings.
Thanks for your full documentary of GS manufacturing! Love the full square dial before cutting
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.
I just recently acquired my first GS, I love it, a SBGF019 quartz with the 8j56 movement. I know that the 9f is their flagship quartz movement, but I think this 8j is right there with it. Hopefully some day I will be able to save up and afford a spring drive, my dream watch.
Incredible brand and video Teddy. Actually had to pause the video part way through. Go to my watch box. Change out of my FXD into my GS. Then continue the video 😅♥️
Thank you for sharing the world of grand seiko ! I really wanted to see videos such as these for so long
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.
Very impressive. Thanks for bringing us this in-depth look at watch-making mastery.
I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
You are doing a fabulous job Teddy.. keep it up
wonderful content. I've been watching your Grand Seiko and Japanese horology scene with great interest. These folks are NOT fooling around and are superior to all but the finest watch manufacture in Switzerland.
This has been an absolute delight.
Amazing video as always, Teddy! Love my Shunbun, and it’s great to see behind the scenes of what goes into making GS.
Pretty slick ad for GS. The craftsmanship is amazing.
Loved this! Great to hear they want to continue to make more complicated pieces. A GS chronograph would be really cool!
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.

Teddy hope you enjoyed Japan and hope my people treated you very well!
Spring Drive! Legendary!
Fabulous video. Please do as many of these videos as possible. Loved it!!
Seiko is my all-time favorite watch brand and one of my goals is to do the exact same thing you’re doing in this video take a tour thank you so much for what you do Teddy
Thank you for bringing us along for the journey to Seiko in Japan Teddy. Another great video. I am very impressed with the Seiko brand through its commitment to excellence and through constant improvement of their products. I am heading back to Japan and will be interested in purchasing my first Seiko watch. Although I am not wealthy, I will be looking to purchase a second hand Grand Seiko with spring drive technology if I'm lucky! Keep up the great work. Regards from Vancouver Canada. 🙏🏻
Wow. Awesome episode. The quality of the video is first rate, like the subject matter. I am inspired to someday obtain a Grand Seiko for myself. Thank you Teddy.
Already great cinematography and video pacing keeps improving, amazing work by you and your team, Teddy! Thanks for sharing this awesome look inside Grand Seiko
So cool, so much time, effort and care going into each piece. Hopefully their movement technology will transfer to Seiko so the masses can experience it.
What a fantastic video! Thanks for sharing!
