Hands-On With The New Grand Seiko Watches 2024 (7 Watches Presented) 

Simply unmatched in the quality of his content in the Watch game is Teddy! Thanks for your dedication!

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

I’m a simple man, I see Teddy and Joe talking new Grand Seiko pieces, I hit play.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 😊

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

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

Congrats on the 1M subscribers Teddy. Nice video. I love GS.

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

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.

I met Joe at a GS9 event. He was super chill

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!

Fascinating material and great presentation, thank you!

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.

Quality content and GS is coming hard this year. Great pieces ... love the titanium manual wind dress watch

Easily the best tradition in the watch industry, Teddy and Joe talk Grand Seiko

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.

Let's say, i've been waiting a whole year just for this tradition.

I love the birdie that helps wind that mechanism one click at a time

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!

Joe is the top marketing guy in watches. It’s crazy. The Grand Seiko spirit is in this guys soul.

Wow, most interesting information. Thanks a lot! I just love Grand Seiko and how they innovating the watch industry!

GS is next level stuff and Joe represents them like a Bauss 😊

Great video, love GS as is, these are exceptional IMHO

Beautiful watch. Power indicator on the back is awesome.

Absolutely love these videos with this man from grand seiko. I always end up learning something cool about watches

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.

This was really fun! I love the Kodo, and the Genbi valley is stunning.

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.

Another excellent video! Thanks 🙏

GS is my grail. So underrated.

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 red dial and kodo are just wouah 😍

Always good to see Joe Kirk on the channel

That click setup is beautiful!

I appreciate the measurements and specs on each piece and movement

Amazing pieces

Very impressive stuff. Great interview. A GS high beat of some sort is my grail watch.

Yes the annual catch up, so glad to see these gentlemen talk all this GS

Oh dam! wanting that color changing red dial on a Ti 9S64!!! wearing a Ryusendo right now - letting you know my preferences 😉

That Grand Seiko Evolution 9 is stunning. I love the white birch line from them, so elegant.

Love the stache bro

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.😮

Teddy is great guy. Humble and honest!

Grand Seiko is killing it!!!! Congrats

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 😅

Another great Grand Seiko video from Teddy Baldassarre!

Grand Seiko Absolutely Spectacular Beautiful Amazing Engineering Teddy Cheers Thank you so much for sharing Kind regards

Great job teddy and joe!

The SBGC275 dial looks incredible!

Love my GS a year later and still hasn’t changed accuracy.

These watches are beautiful works of art

The last to,are awesome!

The Tokyo Lion!

Teddy , you and Britt Pierce are the only watch channels I watch(no pun intended😂). Simple , to the point , and professional

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.

The green blue dial look amazing

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!!

Very informative

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 it

I am really impressed by GS. Love both the technology and the dials. Cool.

Beautiful. Would love to see more bracelet options from the brand.

Once again amazing GS what a beautiful fantastic watches as about the red!!! chronograph I’m speechless!!! 👍👏💪❤️

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.

Grand Seiko is my aspirational brand. The Evolution 9 with the rippled dial is one of the best looking watches I’ve seen.

A fascinating summary of 2024 Grand Seikos from Joe👍👍. I am a GS fan....

off topic, but thank you teddy for the Mido S1E1 :)

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. 🤷

Nothing better than 2 passionate men talking about something they love in an up-scaled setting.

These I'm assuming are in the Wonders category of the Watches and Wonders theme .

These are the nicest watches I have seen in a long time! Grand Seiko is incredible.

Been waiting for this one! :D

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.

Love the dial and hands but the markers...

Teddy loves Grand Seiko with the same passion Nico Leonard hates Hublot. I would love to see a collab between those two.

Somehow Joe's voice sounds like John Blackthorne.

That aquamarine dial is fire! Size?

I wish they would make the bracelet design on those chronos their standard across the board. It’s a much more clean look without the vertical “racing stripes”

Amazing!

Joe wear a watch on both wrists 😂

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.

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.

I have been quite anti Seiko. The titanium manual wind SLGW003 could be my favourite GS. Looking forward to see it in flesh soon

I really like to see two young dudes passionate about legit watches without all the pomp and circumstance.

That Birch Bark is an almost perfect dress watch. All the features I would want and nothing I don’t.

Ohhhhhhh.... I want a grand seiko

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.

Excelente video Crack. 🤩🤩⌚️⌚️⌚️⌚️

What is the purpose of the sliding ratchet wheel thing? Why let the barrel sprint back a bit?
