Our thanks to everyone who came out for the GS9 Club event at Gravitas in Los Angeles. Collectors and enthusiasts gathered for an afternoon of engaging conversation, dial design inspiration, movement assembly, and the chance to get hands-on with Grand Seiko’s latest novelties and newest releases.

We’re especially grateful to Grand Seiko Designer Akira Yoshida, Movement Designer Eiichi Hiraya, and Brand Curator Joe Kirk, whose insights added depth to the day, and to all the distinguished guests whose presence made the event so memorable. Check out our photo recap below.
