Its “airy and sophisticated” interior honors Japanese aesthetics and culture, with “kumiko,” a traditional form of Japanese woodwork, seen throughout the store.
The watch showcases are made from light-colored wood and are meant to show the same “commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and distinctive Japanese quality” as its timepieces.
Customers can shop a wide variety of its watches, including its Spring Drive, mechanical, and quartz models. There is also a private room for its “Masterpiece” collection.
“Every corner and detail of the boutique has been meticulously considered to create a unique and inviting atmosphere to explore the world of Grand Seiko,” said the company.
Akio Naito, president of Seiko Watch Corporation, shared what the opening means for the company and its U.S. presence.
"The United States has accelerated the growth of Grand Seiko outside of Japan, and this new boutique opens a new chapter for the brand's further development," said Naito.
"Being located at such a prime location, I am certain it will allow more customers and watch lovers from around the world to experience Grand Seiko's uniquely Japanese worldview and its endless passion for perfection."
The new store is located at 540 Madison Avenue.
