I was in Kingston this afternoon and stumbled upon the new Grand Seiko display at Chisholm Hunter.

In the flesh I think they looked mediocre, and on comparison with the cheaper Swiss brands of Raymond Weil, Maurice Lacroix, Baume & Mercier etc. But the prices are very much top drawer.

I’m sure someone will enlighten me, such as the parts are fashioned on the thighs of Japanese virgins.

The Tudor display next to it are twice as nice for half the cost.
