GS Bond St Karesansui
Had a chance to visit the new Grand Seiko boutique on New Bond Street in London. Two storeys - GS on the Ground Floor and Seiko on the 1st Floor. Even a few JDMs were there too. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat. Had the opportunity to try this on too: ‘Karesansui’ SBGY029. Limited to 50 pieces and exclusive to the boutique.

I finally found the new boutique today. Tried it on. A really great size.
Looks good. I'm just waiting for @JaeBust to buy one for his collection.

Did you try winding it (like I did)? 😂
Did you like the boutique?
Wow beautiful! Nothing like this in Los Angeles. I'll bet the shop was beautiful too

The service guy stopped me when I tried to pull the crown out😀Very friendly staff. I didn’t go downstairs. I went to the Knightsbridge boutique first ( after Harrods where I recruited a new member).

Oh really? Pretty big market not to have a boutique. The pieces were well organised and were available to be taken out to be shown to any client at their request - although that sounds like a minimum requirement, it’s not always the case. It certainly felt like people would be welcome and chat about watches

Ah well done! Could be a ‘Recruiter’ or ‘Headhunter’ badge be in the works…😉

There is a boutique in Beverly Hills. It's small and I'm not a fan of the area at all. Just a lot of flexing Instagram posers and people taking themselves far too seriously. There's a new crime element that sucks as well. My hope is that Grand Seiko will open something in a less conspicuous area.

That sounds awful. Unfortunately we have the crime element here too
Great watch! I also visited the store yesterday. My favorite is the SGBY007. Absolute beauty.

I REALLY like this too. Great to see the Spring Drive in smaller and thinner cases

100%. I have pretty small wrist and this 38.5mm case is just perfect for me. And having the power reserve at the back makes the dial even more beautiful
Can’t wait to visit the new store, sounds great and definitely a better location IMO.

If you go via the Elizabeth Line then coming out of the Hanover Sq exit means you’re about a minute’s walk from it via the new office/retail office block
Might have to go take a look in the new year — especially considering I quite like JDM stuff.
(Early on in this hobby, I was both amazed and annoyed to find out you could get Sapphire crystals on certain Citizen Eco-drives. Would have saved me a bomb in Polywatch at that time.)
