Zu Gast bei Seiko: Museum in Ginza, Tokyo

I'm traveling to Japan—but not for vacation! It's a very special watch journey that will take me to the heart of Japanese watchmaking. Two weeks packed with exciting appointments and thrilling encounters. This video is the first in a series, and I'm taking you straight to an absolute highlight: Seiko has invited me, and I'm getting an exclusive private tour of the legendary Seiko Museum in Ginza, Tokyo. Here, I learn all about the impressive history of this iconic brand. But that's not all—I have the special honor of going to the roof of the famous Wako Building and admiring the Seiko Clock up close—the symbol of Ginza! This will definitely not be my last trip to Japan; the next one is already being planned. Many more videos about exciting Japanese watch brands will follow, especially microbrands you've probably never heard of. Stay tuned and don't miss any of these highlights!
