Grand Seiko Partners With Ben Bridge on First Hawaii Store
The new Grand Seiko boutique is located in Honolulu’s Waikiki neighborhood.

The boutique is located at 2300 Kalakaua Ave. in the city’s walkable and bustling Waikiki neighborhood.
The store has a sleek and contemporary look, with light-colored wood showcases and designs inspired by Kumiko, a traditional form of Japanese woodworking that involves connecting pieces of wood using interlocking joints and tension, instead of nails.
It is Grand Seiko’s eighth boutique in the United States.
According to its website, the Japanese watch brand also has stores in: Beverly Hills and Canoga Park, California, Boston, Miami, Atlanta, and New York.
Grand Seiko has its flagship boutique on Madison Avenue and another store in the city’s SoHo neighborhood.
“Today marks an important milestone for Grand Seiko as we proudly open our first boutique on the beautiful island of Oahu in partnership with Ben Bridge,” said Brice Le Troadec, president of Grand Seiko Corporation of America and Grand Seiko’s global strategy officer.
“This collaboration signifies our commitment to expanding our presence in America and bringing the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and precision to this part of the United States. We are excited to embark on this journey with Ben Bridge, a partner who shares our passion for excellence, and we look forward to welcoming watch enthusiasts to experience the artistry and innovation that define Grand Seiko.”
While the new Waikiki Grand Seiko boutique is the watch brand’s first in Hawaii, Ben Bridge has had a presence on the island for more than three decades. It has four other stores in Honolulu in addition to this new boutique.
The retailer operates Rolex and Tudor boutiques, as well as a Ben Bridge & Timeworks and a Ben Bridge Jeweler location in the city.
“As part of the Honolulu community for 35 years, we are proud to open the doors to our first Grand Seiko boutique, enhancing the experience we are able to offer to our Hawaii ohana [family] and visitors alike,” Ben Bridge Jeweler President and CEO Lisa Bridge said.
“We deeply value our generational partnership and continue to be inspired by Grand Seiko’s precision in craftsmanship. We look forward to sharing it in this special environment.”
Ben Bridge Jeweler ranks No. 25 on National Jeweler’s Top 50 Specialty Jewelers list, with 35 stores.
