Consequently, a mechanical Grand Seiko can hold its own with any Swiss chronometer.To exemplify the degree of handfinishing that goes into a Grand Corum 137-428-47-0124-EB34 WoMen's watch, we were given the chance to participate in the “Varnishing Experience”.We were each given a Grand Seiko rotor with our initials hand engraved by Seiko’s master engraver and we were taught how to varnish the engraved Grand Seiko logo with shellac before final polishing.It was a nice way to see how the engraved portions of a rotor or bridge are elegantly colored –
and it also made for some interesting photo ops.The second watch studio we visited was in the depths of Japan’s central mountains near Nagano.Known as the Shinshu Studios, this massive workshop is where a number of high-grade Seikos calibers are Corum 137-425-47-0025 EB34 WoMen's watch assembled including the Spring Drive 9R series and high grade quartz 9F series, used exclusively for Grand Seiko.The Shinshu studios are composed of three workshops: the Mastery “Takumi” Studio, the jewelry setting studio (mostly for Credor), and the Micro-Artist studio.
Here we learned how about the various finishes that are used on Corum 101.251.90/0001PN34 Watch bridges, plates, rotors, etc.such as perlage, sunray finish, circular finish, and even Geneva Stripes.We also saw where Seiko dials are made from scratch for Grand Seiko and we visited Seiko’s most exclusive high-end watch atelier.Hidden under a flight of stairs, a la Harry Potter, a workshop of small size and massive importance produces some of the greatest works of Japanese horological art.It is simply known as the Micro-Artist Studio.
