Grand Seiko teamed with Little Treasury, Gambrills, Maryland, last week to display many of the brand's 2017 debuts seen just a few weeks earlier at Baselworld. Among the event's highlight was a Seiko Credor Master Collection, which Seiko displayed for the first time at any retailer in the United States. Eighteen guests attended a private dinner where watches were shown and made available for handling and wearing. Among the pieces seen by the guests were the Credor Fugaku, Sonnerie, Minute Repeater and Eichi II.
Another attraction was a rare Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8-Day Power Reserve in platinum, one of just eight pieces Seiko will make of this particular watch. Seiko's own Rusty Rowlands and Gary Anderson of Grand Seiko made the presentation highlighting these Micro Artist Studio watches and other Grand Seiko 2017 novelties.
