Grand Seiko Karesansui SBGY027 EU LIMITED EDITION

Grand Seiko SBGY027 ( Limited Edition )

A perfect example of how this passion for light and shadow is showcased in the home is Karesansui, the unique Japanese garden style in which landscape images of mountains and water are depicted using only stones and sand. The illusion of water is brought to life by white sand. Even when only a dim light shines on the surface, a wave-like pattern is formed from the contrasting planes of light and the shadow created by the deeper troughs.

The dial of this new Grand Seiko watch features a finely embossed pattern of gently curved lines radiating from the center. Depending on the light and intensity, the dial changes like the sand in a Karesansui garden.

The watch is powered by the hand-wound Spring Drive Caliber 9R31. With the Spring Drive's unique gliding motion, the second hand moves quietly, gently and gracefully across the textured dial, evoking the same sense of the natural and calm flow of time that one feels when looking at a Karesansui.
