For all SEIKO fans - The Two Meisters of SEIKO Shizukuishi Watch Studio demonstrated their technique/skill at an event.  Rare opportunity to see what are behind SEIKO's higher-end Grand Seiko and Credor lines.

One weekend in March, a week before the quake, there was an event by SEIKO at a department store in Tokyo where SEIKO’s TWO legendary Meisters – Mr. Mamoru Sakurada (watchmaker) and Mr. Kiyoshi Terui (engraver) – demonstrated their works. They have both been chosen as “Contemporary Master Craftsmen” of Japan and also been awarded “Yellow Ribbon Medal” from the government (presented by the Emperor: as of today, there are THREE more recipients in SEIKO group alone).


I divided the article in two parts - Part I is of Mr. Sakurada's movement assembling, and Part II is of Mr. Terui's engraving.  Now both Parts have been posted.  Please enjoy both.
