We are on our honeymoon in Japan and we happened to get 2 Grand Seikos at Wako. The buying experience was impeccable and I can confirm that the second floor with all the history and archived pieces was a treat to see in person!
Gonna be there for my honeymoon on Monday and purchasing my watch there as well! Did you find it difficult to communicate with them? Did they speak English?
The WAKO clock tower is simply amazing. I had a chance to go up there and saw it couple years ago. My dream was fulfilled. Lastly, Maruyama san looks elegantly gorgeous as always.
I went there two weeks ago wearing my newly acquired Wako Clock Tower 90th Limited Edition Slgh015 and the gentleman behind this watch bar recognized it and politely thanked me for buying it :) then he showed me a custom watch that has been ordered by someone that looked absolutely incredible. It was like the SLGA007 but looked much more detailed and beautiful, it's hard to describe how detailed and beautiful this particular lake Suwa dial looked like, it really had some depth to it and the blue was also shining in a spectacular way. At the back, it had a custom engraving on the see through Caseback of the 8 days spring drive moment. Super impressive watch and it really makes you want a custom GS too. What I found interesting was that apparently you can also order these with a bracelet instead of a leather strap but that is even more pricey as it's only reserved for the precious metals.
Been loving the videos, I especially enjoy the rarely seen female perspective Ms. Maruyama brings not only as an expert in fashion but also as a woman. Keep up the great videos!
I must confess that I watch your videos with great pleasure. I am a lover of watches, but above all of good taste and education. And Japan represents these values very much and it would be a great pleasure to visit it one day. Anyway, kudos to the two presenters for their professional way of introducing us to these iconic places. And kudos to journalist Ms.Maruyama Naomi for her elegance. Greetings from Italy!
I just love the places you two are visting in Japan to show all these nice watches. Personally I just love my Grand Seiko watches 😊 Thank you from Denmark 👌
#build_your_grand_seiko #custom_grand_seiko #grand_seiko_bar #grand_seiko_watch_bar #watch_bar Wow.... Now this is what I call a luxury watch....👌 It could have been better you can engrave some kind of serial number based on the design ordered At least let them decide if they want it or not Either way they get that number either on a paper or their watch That way, customer would feel so related to other owner, since they can tell from a sequntial number engraved or at list written on a certificate issued by this watch bar for originality Stay ahead Seiko A company respeting the customer deserve more respect😅 *I tag this video because I tried to search by google with a number of possible keywords i could imagine and google couldn't send this video*
I will be in Japan for a 4 week vacation in April. I wanna buy a Grand Seiko Spring Drive. Since I do backpacking, my clothes will be very practical and not elegant >.< Is it weird to go to Wako with such clothes?
Disagree, as someone who owns Swiss, German, and Japanese watches. Each region brings their own unique flair and skill set to watchmaking. If you can manage, ask respected watchmakers if they think Grand Seiko is garbage and record their response on video. They might think you're wasting their time, but hopefully they'll indulge the question and take the time to educate you.

@@GabenB They don’t speak a lot of English, but are super nice and patient. I’d recommend having Google Translate on hand.
@@supersong115 Thanks for the tip. I'll have it ready to go! Really excited :).
@@GabenB make sure you ask them to take you to the second floor for a visit! It's totally worth it!

I must take my Omiwatari to pay homage to this holy place. Incredible. Japan is finally open I can't wait to go!😁
It’s great your channel has english subtitle.

Amazing. Glad you enjoyed it!
❤ Love the channel, it’s truly about watch passion. It’s a different perspective to us westerners. Warm greetings from Belgium.
Thanks for sharing. It is always nice to see Naomi. She is so well-mannered and well dressed.

Wow....
Now this is what I call a luxury watch....👌

At least let them decide if they want it or not
Either way they get that number either on a paper or their watch
That way, customer would feel so related to other owner, since they can tell from a sequntial number engraved or at list written on a certificate issued by this watch bar for originality
Stay ahead Seiko
A company respeting the customer deserve more respect😅

Is it weird to go to Wako with such clothes?
I'm curious if any GS model is available for customization or only the really high end models?
Ведущая красавица !!!
Wako clock tower looks like Big Ben 😂
Show!
I love it but every like 5 seconds there's a "Hai!" and now my ears only hear that and I can't concentrate😂
starts at $15k or $100+ K
Otaku...
表ダイヤルは美しいが裏透けのスプリングドライブ機能に為ってしまうと時計の醍醐味であるテンプの歯車が見えず、板の人工サファイア、ルビーの石しか見えないのが😅残念です。時計はダイヤルだけ美しくっても駄目、ムーブメントだけ美しくっても駄目で、裏、表のバランスの美しさが求められる。日本の代表である マニファクチュール セイコーは、機械的に組み上げれば終わり見たいに見えてしまう。スイスの時計は全体のバランスを非常に大事にしている、ムーブメント側に彫金師が丁寧に彫金した飾りが装飾されて時計の全体のバランスを保って非常に美しく仕上がっています。スイス時計が世界ナンバワンと言う歴史や文化を感じる。
Ummmm no thank you. SWISS watches are the BEST. I don’t need Japanese junk. In fact most rich Japanese don’t wear Japanese junk.😊
