Mr Forster will be chairing an interview with Mr Nobuhiro Kosugi, designer of the first 9S Grand Seiko in 1998 and the first watch designer to receive the Contemporary Master Craftsman Award from Japan\u2019s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2014.<\/p>\n
Created for Grand Seiko stockists and their customers, Hodinkee devotees and watch fans in general, these exclusive events will showcase the latest Grand Seiko timepieces from the Sports, Elegance and Heritage collections alongside historical models from the Tokyo vaults.<\/p>\n
Vintage timepieces on show will include the very first Grand Seiko, the 44GS and the 61GS VFA. There will also be an opportunity to see examples of Credor timepieces, the ultra-luxury brand within the Seiko group portfolio, which makes highly decorative and complicated pieces such as the Sonnerie, Minute repeater and the Eichi II.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
