Grand Seiko Masterpiece Spring Drive SBGZ007 - Hands-On Review
In 1881, Kintaro Hattori created a watch manufacture that would become Japan’s most powerful and innovative watch brand on the market today, Seiko. His Seikosha Factory, meaning House of Precision, started producing quality wall clocks and pocket watches, but always with affordability in mind.

Again, these watches will be produced for just one year – and you can expect to have a new model for 2020. With the exuberant?1960s design codes in mind, the 2019 editions of the?Glashutte Original Sixties and?Sixties Panorama Date are presented with warm, bright and bold?Fiery Orange dials.Basically, no drastic changes here.

This started in 2018 with a surprising but accomplis
