    Fantastic. Thanks for posting. Would be tempted to try to visit next time I'm in Japan. Or at least go to the Seiko museum, can't believe I missed it last time I was there!

    Something that confused me - that article suggests that everything high-end is actually made by Seiko Epson not Seiko Holding - but which bit? Given that the only named watch company in the SE portfolio is Orient - I was given to believe that everything about Grand Seiko and the like was done within Seiko Holding and not sub-contracted to any of the subsidiaries?

    Does it matter if it's called Seiko Epson or Seiko Holding? Both are part of Seiko.

    Not sure if Molle posts on here but if so - amazing thanks!

    A well deserved invitation too, he's a bit of an oracle.
