A Brief History of Grand Seiko and King Seiko by James Dowling

[Old Expat Beast]

I just found this short but informative Daily Telegraph article from last November, written by renowned Rolex expert James Dowling. Well worth a read if you're new to Seiko and interested in the brand, and in high-end vintage Seiko in particular.

I found this part about the shipping routing really interesting. Never knew this.

"With increasing success, they competed in Swiss competitions, designing their own shipping containers to protect the movements, and insisting they were shipped around the equator rather than over the pole to avoid magnetic influences. By 1967, the top three were Omega, then Daini Seikosha and Suwa Seikosha."
