I’m a simple man, I see Teddy and Joe talking new Grand Seiko pieces, I hit play.
Hahaha same
Joe is one of the true gems in the world. A great guy.
Same happen to me everytime I see Teddy talking about FP Journe (without Kevin O'leary of course)
Come on, don’t be simple, challenge yourself, do some self development, take an online course or attend a leisure learning, take up a hobby. You don’t want to be a simpleton for the rest of your life do you?
Hey, realrezlyy, Chat GPT is trying to sell you a self development course. It doesnt understand what a self deprecating joke is.
Simply unmatched in the quality of his content in the Watch game is Teddy! Thanks for your dedication!
Thanks Yoda
I had the honor to talk with Teddy today at Watches & Wonders in front of the GS booth. We also talked about the SLGW003 and agreed that it is amazing 😁
Great to see the video now with Joe
Say my hello to teddy
It’s obvious that Grand Seiko is going to be one of the top tier watch-maker in near future. Their dedication to the details and innovation is ahead of swiss competitors
I'd love to see that colour changing feature applied to the Snowflake, Champagne Sunburst, and Omiwatari dials.. that would be an absolute beauty
I really, really like GS and the new releases but at this point, especially with them trying to move upwards on the pricing, not updating the clasp (arguably also the bracelet) is unacceptable and disappointing - imho. Even Tudor, which is half, sometimes a third of the price has a superb micro adjustment clasp - if you move into the 10k region you have to deliver.
Thank you. I thought about writing more or less this comment but you did it for me. I recently purchased an Omega AT Worldtimer and the reason I eliminated GS from consideration was the bracelet and clasp: they're just horribly substandard (in this price range). I didn't buy a Rolex DJ because I was told by two different ADs I'd be waiting 6-12 months and I'm unwilling to play those stupid games, plus when I tried on the Omega I just fell in love with the dial: it is *gorgeous* (which is also what I love about GS, it's just that the bracelet-clasp combo are a deal-breaker).
@@LanguagesWithAndrewto be fair the aqua terra bracelet and clasp are not that much better
@@dakadoodle6295 You’re just brainwashed
I’m afraid I agree.
100% this, they certainly need to update the clasps. The current gen clasps work, but they dont match the quality and dedication of the rest of the watch.
Very glad we finally have a new hi-beat manualwind movement!! Been some years
That red dial is absolutely incredible! Hope they bring the technology to more models.
Love the Kudo. Must have been amazing to see and hear in person :) thanks for showing the recent releases and collections
Would love to see the Optical Multi-Layer Coating dial on a more simple watch. the GS Chronos are generally pretty distasteful IMO. It'd be nice to have that on a time-only watch to really appreciate the dial.
yeah they don't scream Grand Seiko at all, they're gaudy and don't fit with the ethos of the brand IMO
I’d actually like to see it on one of their dive watches. I agree that the spring drive chrono/gmts are just too much. (Wouldn’t turn down a free one though)
That was my same thought too, needs a less cluttered dial to let the design shine.
that rose gold with the white dial is out of this world
One of the best Grand Seiko movements yet. As a whole, it's close to being the best...
I wish the dial had its center pinion capped off like with other GS watches. For future development, a peripheral rotor would be nice. And, for mechanical movements, GS has never done a grande date AFAIK--let's see one.
Also, this is a criticism for the watch industry as a whole, but the fact that a precious metal case is many times the cost of the non-precious metal variant is extortionary. The difference in price of the raw metal input in no way justifies the cost. 1 troy oz of pure gold (i.e. 24kt) is currently at $2,333.17. The rose gold case is not only not pure gold (usually at 75% gold or 18kt), but the case alone will weigh in at around 1 maybe 1.5 troy oz in terms of gold content in total. Even when you make it into a limited edition, the price is still not justified--imagine selling the same case in silver or even just steel with only 80 pieces, it would be nowhere near the price of its precious metal counterpart. In other words, the markup is considerably high. So, the margins on the precious metal watches are huge, and are far greater than the steel and titanium offerings.
Best video about watches I've seen in a long time. I could listen to you guys talking about GS releases and stories for hours 😊
Really incredible watches. Love the explanation of the technology, free-sprung etc. Perfect if they lost the necessary printing on the dial. Option of a solid case back too please. Great video BTW
Love my Grand Seikos and now I'm Soo excited for the new watches!! Actually I met Joe a while back here in Kansas City MO for a Grand Seiko show and it was an awesome event! He was very informative and saw my interest and took me to the corner and showed me some very expensive and special Grand Seiko 😁
Got the bamboo today
The sbgj259?
Met Joe Kirk at the last Grand Seiko event in Hollywood last year, such a nice a chill guy, definitely loves the brand he works for
Me too man! That was quite an impressive event.
That red dial and kodo are just wouah 😍
I don't like GS bezels, so I'm usually interested only in their basic time or time+date watches. Currently owning a SBGA 025 and I'll maybe try to get a fancier dial in the future, but not a GMT or chronograph. For some reason I think their simple watches work best esthetically.
I met Joe at a GS9 event. He was super chill
GS is next level stuff and Joe represents them like a Bauss 😊
Always good to see Joe Kirk on the channel
Easily the best tradition in the watch industry, Teddy and Joe talk Grand Seiko
Grand Seiko is killing it!!!! Congrats
I remember my first time seeing Teddy as Producer Michael's guest almost 3 years ago... And now you have 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! You are still my favorite watch content creator. Congratulations! Cheers to you ang the guys behind the camera.
Joe is the top marketing guy in watches. It’s crazy. The Grand Seiko spirit is in this guys soul.
GS is my grail. So underrated.
How is it underrated? Every reviewer raves about it. I tried a couple on and they feel cheap and light. Also the aphanumeric names dont help matters. They mostly look the same.
@@user-df2mn5bx2q I'm with you. I so want to like GS, and have been back to ADs and boutiques multiple times thinking I must be missing something that the reviewers are seeing. I end up leaving baffled each time. When the watches were available in the $5k range it made more sense. Now that they seem to expect $10k for everything (does anyone actually pay that?) they don't seem underrated at all. If anything, I'd call them overrated given the ugly bracelets devoid of what are standard convenience features even at lower price points.
Grand Seiko
Absolutely Spectacular
Beautiful Amazing Engineering
Teddy
Cheers
Thank you so much for sharing
Kind regards
The 275 has *THE* dial of my dreams...but of course there are only going to be 700 of them 😞 Adding it to my list of things I'll never have right next to the Bugatti Veyron. Curse you GS...LOL
Fascinating material and great presentation, thank you!
Let's say, i've been waiting a whole year just for this tradition.
The case of the new white birch looks very similar to the case of the vintage Seikomatic Weekdater (the 6218-8970) when looked at face on,which *hint hint* is one of the hidden gems that almost nobody knows about.
me and my dad were at W&W this year on the press days as guests from Panerai, and spot you walking around. You looked pretty rushed so we didnt try and stop you for a cheeky picture, but maybe next year! hope you enjoyed it teddy!
Thanks, Teddy and Joe. Long may this yearly tradition continue. Stunning new models are being presented here. These are still outside my budget, unfortunately, but nevertheless are a must-view for any watch enthusiast.
Wow, most interesting information. Thanks a lot! I just love Grand Seiko and how they innovating the watch industry!
Upload a short with just the sound of the kodo. Without the talking in the background.
Quality content and GS is coming hard this year. Great pieces ... love the titanium manual wind dress watch
Absolutely love these videos with this man from grand seiko. I always end up learning something cool about watches
Great video, love GS as is, these are exceptional IMHO
Beautiful watch. Power indicator on the back is awesome.
Teddy , you and Britt Pierce are the only watch channels I watch(no pun intended😂). Simple , to the point , and professional
Congrats on the 1M subscribers Teddy. Nice video. I love GS.
Teddy is great guy. Humble and honest!
The Tokyo Lion!
Amazing pieces
I love the birdie that helps wind that mechanism one click at a time
Yes the annual catch up, so glad to see these gentlemen talk all this GS
Great releases from Seiko, that 9SA4 caliber is looking so good! Love the birch bark dial as well, but really hoping they'll use that caliber in future watches as well! And that SLGH021 dial is mind-blowing... Great pleasure as always to see Teddy engaging with new timepieces!
Another excellent video! Thanks 🙏
This was really fun! I love the Kodo, and the Genbi valley is stunning.
Yeah, I pulled the trigger and bought a Genbi valley this morning. I adore it.
These I'm assuming are in the Wonders category of the Watches and Wonders theme .
Somehow Joe's voice sounds like John Blackthorne.
The dial that represents the rivers and the geometric shapes on it. O that's super nice. I like that one and the Tokyo gmt that is red but changes in color depending on the angle you look at it.
So this video, especially of The Lion, may have led me to head down to the Grand Seiko Boutique in Miami and put a deposit down for mine. Joel was an amazing host while I was there.
That click setup is beautiful!
I appreciate the measurements and specs on each piece and movement
Oh dam! wanting that color changing red dial on a Ti 9S64!!! wearing a Ryusendo right now - letting you know my preferences 😉
These are gorgeous and I love the attention to detail they have given to the 9SA4 movement and the SLGW003 - I really hope they take these learnings and reflect them across the 9SA5 movement watches as well.
How can you produce so many quality videos a week? You must have a power house behind you. You must be The Seiko Official Embassador. Nothing wrong with that, but it is overwhelming. Out of this world videos.😮
Very impressive stuff. Great interview. A GS high beat of some sort is my grail watch.
The last to,are awesome!
I was looking to make my next GS purchase a spring drive but the new SLGW003/002 are fantastic and will probably be my next purchase... the spring drive will have to wait a little longer 😅
That SLGH021 is stunning. I had my heart set on a Datejust, but this GS has it beat. Might have to head on down to a dealer.
Love my GS a year later and still hasn’t changed accuracy.
Which model do you own
@@HARIHARAN-ow6bwsnowflake
Agreed, I have 4 watches from Grand Seiko, Omega, Rolex and Vacheron Constantin, the accuracy of spring drive just insane when you compare it to others with just over a week. GS is the type of brand that you love it more overtime after you own one. It's understated but elegant, and with highest craftmanship quality. GS is now my favorite watch brand. Really want to add the SBGC275 to my collection if I get the chance.
These watches are beautiful works of art
Love the stache bro
That Grand Seiko Evolution 9 is stunning. I love the white birch line from them, so elegant.
Another great Grand Seiko video from Teddy Baldassarre!
The green blue dial look amazing
I am really impressed by GS. Love both the technology and the dials. Cool.
Great job teddy and joe!
The SBGC275 dial looks incredible!
A fascinating summary of 2024 Grand Seikos from Joe👍👍. I am a GS fan....
I forgot his name, but he really is able to explain all the new models well. I am thinking of getting the manual wind. I'm hoping I get the chance to get the rose gold model.
Grand Seiko is my aspirational brand. The Evolution 9 with the rippled dial is one of the best looking watches I’ve seen.
They are great watches. I bought the SLGA023 Ushio earlier this year. It is an amazing watch. Best of luck.
Once again amazing GS what a beautiful fantastic watches as about the red!!! chronograph I’m speechless!!! 👍👏💪❤️
Nice video. I have had a catch and release relationship with several Grand Seikos. I fall in and out of love like an 18 year old. But today as this video dropped, I picked up my SLGH013G: GS44 Ever Brilliant case, the amazing 9SA5 movement, with a killer dial. I hope to marry this one. But why are they available for under $6k pre-owned in the US? Maybe the market knows something I don't. Worse, maybe it knows something I do. 🤷
Beautiful. Would love to see more bracelet options from the brand.
These are the nicest watches I have seen in a long time! Grand Seiko is incredible.
Very informative
I'm an artist that's new to the watch world. A year and a half ago i stopped taking comissions for art work, Since then i have started 2 projects which are still unfinished. I dont place a price on my hours anymore so i am producing my work to the best of my potential regardless of the time and investment. This is why i am drawn towards Grand Seiko. GS really seems to me as an artisan brand that will go all the way for craftsmanship.
Ohhhhhhh.... I want a grand seiko
the nkuwan would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
Love it
Amazing timepiece that is readily available to real watch enthusiasts. Love the bird like touch in the winding mechanism. Value for your money!
SBGE307 Tokyo lion looks amazing.
Teddy loves Grand Seiko with the same passion Nico Leonard hates Hublot. I would love to see a collab between those two.
Finally. Teddy has a tie. He should wear one more often.
I have been quite anti Seiko. The titanium manual wind SLGW003 could be my favourite GS. Looking forward to see it in flesh soon
Nothing better than 2 passionate men talking about something they love in an up-scaled setting.
Grand Seiko 😘
Joe wear a watch on both wrists 😂
off topic, but thank you teddy for the Mido S1E1 :)
Love the dial and hands but the markers...
I really love grand seiko, the kodo is insane on every points
I still love my LV reverse monogram nkuwan clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
What Grand Seiko is doing in terms of manufacturing is unbelievable. I would love to be able to afford one of these beautiful time pieces, they are just fascinating.
Amazing!
16:30 I like this one
IMHO, the SLGW003 ‘White Birch’ is almost a perfect watch. It would be perfect if GS was brave enough to remove the unnecessary text on the dial like the SGBW series of dress watches. I currently have the SBGW283 as my dress watch and I love it.
