Grand Seiko strikes hard with its new exceptional watch creation. Combining technical prowess and avant-garde aesthetics, this watch with its captivating rhythm promises to revolutionize the world of fine watchmaking.
A mechanical masterpiece with a wild rhythm
The Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon โDaybreakโ is the second iteration of an already legendary model. This complex mechanical watch is distinguished by its unique movement combining:
โ A tourbillon whose inner cage rotates at 8 beats per secondโ A constant force mechanism rotating at 1 beat per second
This combination generates a steady, captivating rhythm, reminiscent of the groove of a jazz drummer. The dial also bears the words “sixteenth note feel”, in reference to a rhythmic subdivision popular with funk musicians.
A design inspired by dawn
Unlike its predecessor, the โDaybreakโ adopts a lighter aesthetic, inspired by the first light of day:
โ Silver movement componentsโ Pale blue sapphires replacing the traditional rubiesโ White calfskin strap treated using an ancestral samurai technique
The 43.8 mm case combines: โ An internal body in 950 platinum โ An external structure in โBrilliant Hard Titaniumโ, an alloy twice as hard as steel
The finishes alternate between Zaratsu mirror polishing and a subtle satin brushing.
A technical and chronometric feat
The hand-wound 9ST1 caliber offers:โ 72 hours of power reserveโ 50 hours of constant forceโ Accuracy of +5/-3 seconds per day
Each movement undergoes 48 hours of testing in various positions and temperatures before being validated.
An exclusive for discerning collectors
Limited to 20 pieces, the Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon โDaybreakโ is priced at 365,000 euros. Deliveries will begin next December.
This exceptional creation will seduce lovers of fine watchmaking with:โ Its bold and balanced designโ Its fascinating technical constructionโ Its captivating rhythm, perceptible in the silence
The Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon โDaybreakโ proves that Japanese watchmaking has nothing to envy its Swiss competitors. Combining technical innovation, avant-garde aesthetics and chronometric performance, it is a must-have piece for the most demanding collectors. Its unique rhythm also makes it an object of fascination for music lovers, thus transcending the boundaries between watchmaking and music.
