It took 13 years to find a good space
Seiko know this but after taking 13 years to find a good location since being forced to open a Seiko Boutique in Paris instead of London, you can understand why this is a GLOBAL FLAGSHIP STORE and not just a Grand Seiko Boutique
That means it can showcase even HIGHER brands than Grand Seiko in the Seiko portfolio like Galante and Credor.
However, more than half the floor space is devoted to Grand Seiko at the London Boutique. (Not just a corner)
This could not be illustrated on Opening Night as it was too crowded to photograph

Thank you for the report.
One thing though: Since Grand Seiko is now an independent brand, I think there should be Seiko boutique and independent GS boutique respectively. To me, seeing Grand Seiko watches displayed in a Seiko boutique, and seeing a Grand Seiko corner inside a Sei...

Wonderful report,
and what looks like a genuinely excellent location for them. Love the store design and even the store next door (Porsche Design) is, I think, highly complementary (read aiming at a mutual demographic). Thank you very much for posting this, I would certain...
Yes: both store designs are clean and sleek but Seiko has the wider range of watches
From Seiko Prestige, all the way up to hand-made Credor, the range is wide but the attention to detail is the same. From the Heart ❤️ of Japan into the Hands 🤚 of Clients. Regards, MTF
It's a pleasant way to "waste" an hour on a rainy day
If you are going to Harrods anyway, the Seiko Global Flagship Store is only a few doors 🚪 away. Regards, MTF
Great report
Hi Been hoping for a dedicated Seiko store in the UK for a while now. Hope to visit when I'm next in London. Good to know we can see a fuller range of Seiko watches too. Cheers JML

Thank you for the report and the picture
Definitely a step in the right direction for Seiko. While they may be late in London, getting an almost perfect spot (from the iconic Harrods) is the right thing to do. Coupled with this formal boutique launch, Seiko will definitely be a bigger brand now....
Better a 7 hour flight to London than 14 hours to Tokyo
Greenwatch, London may be more convenient being a shorter distance to travel and they even speak English! MTF
That Credor Eichi is gorgeous!
Thanks for the report. Much larger boutique than the Frankfurter one.
I'm speculating about Seiko thinking....
The choice of location is first based on "fit for use". By that I mean that it's about Location Location Location. The new London boutique is exactly where it has to be on the Brompton Road in Knightsbridge., a few steps from Harrods. The convenient Knigh...
