Two Meisters of SEIKO Shizukuishi Watch Studio
Apr 16, 2011,18:25 PM
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.
