An establishment that evokes the “tradition of craftsmanship”
through the assembly of luxury watches.Establishment of the Shizukuishi Watch Studio
Morioka Seiko Instruments’ mechanical watch division, located in Shizukuishi, Iwate Prefecture, started as a “high-end watch workplace” in 2002, and was renovated in 2004 as the Shizukuishi Watch Studio, a space suitable for the manufacture of high-end watches. The workshop was designed not only to function as an excellent factory, but also to be a facility that would give visitors a sense of the “tradition of master watchmakers” who continue to make mechanical watches. The watchmaker’s work desks were custom-made in the classic Iwayado-Tansu style, a traditional craft of Iwate. In 2021, a new facility, Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, opened and continues to serve as a place where visitors can experience Grand Seiko's craftsmanship as well as the workshop's functions.
