Utrolig hyggelig og fint arrangement. Inspirerende å se på utstilte modeller, og få prøve de på.
Like inspirerende var det å snakke med, og prøve andre deltakeres klokker. Det var mye flott å se på andres håndledd også. Legger ved en liten godbit som jeg fikk prøve på armen.

Satoshi Hiraga – urmakermesteren som deltok på vårt arrangement – har fått en utmerkelse fra de japanske myndighetene
Seiko Watch Corporation is proud and delighted to announce that watchmaker Satoshi Hiraga has been awarded this year’s Medal with Yellow Ribbon, an honor given by the Japanese government to individuals who became public role models, through, as the citation explains, “their diligence and perseverance”.
Satoshi Hiraga began his career at Seiko Instruments Inc. more than 30 years ago. In the early 1990’s, he spent six years accumulating skills and experience in mechanical watchmaking before, in 1998, joining the Grand Seiko team which was to produce the now celebrated 9S series calibers. In 2015, he was awarded the title of “Contemporary Master Craftsman” by the Japanese government. In recent times, Hiraga has also been deeply involved in the development of new calibers, including the new 9SA5. In addition, Hiraga has been responsible for the training of the next generation of the company’s watchmakers and has demonstrated the assembly of Grand Seiko mechanical movements at many events both in Japan and elsewhere.
“This is a great honor for me and it could never have happened without the education and support from my seniors and colleagues. I am so grateful to everyone who has been supporting me through all these years. I will surely continue to devote myself to mechanical watchmaking.’’ Hiraga commented.
Satoshi Hiraga’s services to watchmaking are once more recognized by the Japanese government. | Grand Seiko
