The evolution of seiko and grand seiko

Now THROUGH Friday, DECEMBER 20, 2024

"The Evolution of Seiko and Grand Seiko" is HSNY’s latest exhibit which offers a fascinating journey through the evolution, artistry, and intricate craftsmanship of Japanese timekeeping through the lens of Seiko and Grand Seiko.

The exhibit features specially curated timepieces that have never left The Seiko Museum Ginza until now, beginning with wadokei from the early 19th century to the first Japanese wristwatch (Seikosha Laurel), the world’s first watch that used a quartz crystal (Seiko Quartz Astron), and Grand Seiko’s first model (Grand Seiko 3180).

"The Evolution of Seiko and Grand Seiko" allows visitors the rare opportunity to explore the intricate designs and technological advancements that helped put Japan on the horological map, including revolutionary railroad watches, self-winding chronographs, Olympic timers, the first wristwatch with an audio recording function, and of course, Spring Drive.

"The Evolution of Seiko and Grand Seiko" is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10AM to 5PM. Admission is free. HSNY is located at 20 West 44th Street, Suite 501, New York, NY 10036.
