Grand Seiko is here, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this iconic brand with Austin. Known for their unmatched precision, meticulous craftsmanship, and stunning dials, Grand Seiko has earned its place as a true legend in the watch world.
For 50 years, these coveted timepieces were available only in Japan, making them a true collector’s dream. Luckily, today, you don’t have to travel halfway across the globe to experience their wonder. Grand Seiko is now available at Korman, bringing a touch of Japanese heritage to our lineup of luxury timepieces here in Austin.
Unmatched Precision: The Grand Seiko Standard
When Grand Seiko says they do everything in-house, they mean it! Every single component of their watches is made in-house, down to growing their own quartz crystals. Their obsession with perfection means their watches deviate by only 10 seconds per year — a feat that’s unheard of in the industry.
To uphold these extraordinary standards, Grand Seiko has developed their own rigorous testing process, known as The Grand Seiko Standard. Each movement is tested in their facilities for 17 days, across six different positions and three temperature variations, ensuring it achieves their exacting accuracy benchmarks. This level of precision is what sets Grand Seiko apart.
But it’s not just about precision. Each watch is hand-assembled start to finish by a single watchmaker, ensuring every detail is flawless. And let’s talk finishing: Grand Seiko’s Zaratsu polishing creates distortion-free surfaces and razor-sharp edges that are impossible to miss. It’s precision you can both see and feel.
Nature-Inspired Design: The Beauty of Grand Seiko Watches
What further sets Grand Seiko apart is the stories their designs tell. The Heritage Collection celebrates Japan’s "24 sekki," the solar terms that mark the changing seasons. Every dial reflects a moment in nature, capturing the beauty of Japan’s landscapes.
Take the 62GS Shunbun, a modern reinterpretation of Grand Seiko’s first automatic watch from 1967. Its bezel-free design, sharp edges, and mirror-like finish nod to the past while feeling perfectly modern. But the real showstopper? The dial.
The SBGA413 Shunbun
The SBGA413 Shunbun is all about capturing the fleeting beauty of spring. Its soft pink, textured dial is inspired by Hana-Ikada, when cherry blossom petals float gently on a river after the spring equinox. It serves as a reminder to pause and savor life’s most beautiful, fleeting moments. Something we at Korman resonate with, as our mantra tells the same story, “Celebrate Every Day”.
Powered by the Spring Drive caliber 9R65, this timepiece is as technical as it is beautiful. With a 72-hour power reserve and unmatched accuracy, it’s perfect for everything from everyday wear to special occasions.
