At over 130 years old, Seiko has become a renowned name in the watchmaking industry, marked by being one of the official timekeepers for the Olympics since 1964. With the company invested in one product for over a generation, how has this company flourished throughout the years?

My Seiko collection - safely displayed and brought to the shooting within Pelican boxes (sourced from Martin aka Quasimodo of course)

Martin was there with me !

Received a complimentary Criteria chrono for helping.

My second 'free' watch from Seiko! The first is of course my prized Ananta!

Just saw the repeat telecast thanks to bro Lgt. Missed original broadcast.
Nice to learn more on the brand. Would certainly like to visit the museum in Japan if I can swing it.
Was a little disappointed that no close ups of the special pieces that were displayed in Japan.
Nevertheless a great little peice of informative filming.
Cheers.

Great post. Thanks for directing me to it.
Lucky you thatyou have seen first hand the treasures on display.
I almost dont feel the need to go anymore what with the photos posted...almost.
The directions given is a god-send. It will ease the search if I ever go there.
Thanks once again and again a good morning...

I noticed they featured mostly Grand Seiko quartz ;)

Why didn't they feature the auto GS and the SPring Drives? Lol

Nevertheless, a great 30min clip and Badrun was looking great! :mrgreen:
