Who am I?
Lover of Japan and horology, I take pleasure in discovering and sharing how Japanese culture, history, and philosophy are an integral part of the DNA of Seiko and Grand Seiko. Or how a passion for watchmaking can unvail unsuspected facets of Japan.
After years of sharing my passion on forums and social networks, I decided to centralize everything on a blog in French, as information in this beautiful language is unfortunately all too rare and the number of enthusiasts is always increasing. All the articles are written in French and translated thanks to an AI (and then corrected by me). I’m doing my best to make it as fluent and proper as possible and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it, but please keep in mind English is not my native language. Thank you for your understanding !
I hope you will enjoy discovering Seiko and Grand Seiko through the lens of Japanese culture, philosophy, and history.
