This week, Grand Seiko hosted a GS9 event in midtown Manhattan, where members experienced an evening of food, drink, and, of course, watches. Members also enjoyed a presentation from Grand Seiko Brand Curator Joe Kirk, who went over novelties from Watches & Wonders, many of which were on-hand. Finally, attendees were the first to see the newly announced SBGW279 “Oruri” U.S. special edition timepiece.
