With 200 to 300 individual components, our mechanical watches demonstrate near-perfect consistency and functionality in every detail to guarantee precision. However, the craftsmanship of the Grand Seiko is not solely reliant on components. It is the skill of our craftsmen and women, who have honed their craft to such a high level, that allows them to manually adjust parts to tolerances of one hundredth of a millimetre. Such intricate and precise workmanship is what delivers the accurate timekeeping of the 9S mechanical movement, for which Grand Seiko is renowned.
