Japan
Grand Seiko is the only Japanese brand in the catalog, but it operates two studios that make different watches and tell different stories. The Shinshu Watch Studio in Shiojiri (Nagano) produces the Spring Drive and most mechanical movements; the Shizukuishi Watch Studio in Iwate produces the hand-wound Heritage line and the high-end mechanical references. The two studios are about 600 km apart — the distance itself is part of how Grand Seiko organises the work.
