Seiko

Hi all - So as we all know, whilst when it comes to the dial, hands, case and bracelet, a Grand Seiko is up there with the very best in the world, its movement is never going to be challenging the likes of a Dufour or Voutilainen. That\'s what the Credor ...  

Always a fan of Seiko, myself. Your images really illustrate nicely! I have to ask, what are you shooting these images with? Best, Todd

Hi Todd - The camera is a CAPcam - a computer controlled view camera, with a Phase One digital back, and Schneider 120mm lens. Kind regards, Gerald.

No pretenses to be anything else but singularly devoted to building a watch that we can wear everyday, and rely on to be accurate and reliable. Your pictures capture a lot of what makes it what it is. Very nice close ups!

Many thanks for the effort and for sharing! Do you have a Spring Drive? Would love to send you some watches for a shooting ;o)

Hi - I have the SBGA129. A few photos of that on my Instagram feed (@watchdxb). Kind regards, Gerald.

Thanks for sharing these incredible macro shots.
