We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Akio Naito, President of Seiko Watch Corporation, and Munehisa Shibasaki, Director & Senior Vice President of Seiko Watch Corporation, here at Hodinkee HQ.
Ben Clymer hosted a wide-ranging conversation with them about launching a new market, Grand Seiko's big break, how they drew inspiration from Toyota, how they negotiated to be the official timekeeper of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and much more.
We hope you'll enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at one of Japan's finest watchmakers.
