For those who are interested.

There is a slot this coming Sat, 830pm on ChannelNewsAsia about Seiko

At over 130 years old, Seiko has become a renowned name in the watchmaking industry, marked by being one of the official timekeepers for the Olympics since 1964. With the company invested in one product for over a generation, how has this company flourished throughout the years?

Re: The Centennials Asia: Seiko

Thanks for posting this!

I was just about to do the same.

Thanks to StupidBear, I was invited to be a part of the documentary.

Some photos from filming ...

The interview

My Seiko collection - safely displayed and brought to the shooting within Pelican boxes (sourced from Martin aka Quasimodo of course)

Martin was there with me !

Received a complimentary Criteria chrono for helping.

My second 'free' watch from Seiko! The first is of course my prized Ananta!

So don't forget to check out the documentary this Saturday. Please don't laugh too hard if I make any bloopers! LOL! ;)

Re: The Centennials Asia: Seiko

Wow what a collection of seikos. Especially the tunas.

Now will certainly stay in to watch the show, if not just to catch another glimpse of the collection.

Looking good brother Badern!

Just saw the repeat telecast thanks to bro Lgt. Missed original broadcast.

Nice to learn more on the brand. Would certainly like to visit the museum in Japan if I can swing it.

Was a little disappointed that no close ups of the special pieces that were displayed in Japan.

Nevertheless a great little peice of informative filming.

Cheers.

Re: The Centennials Asia: Seiko

I noticed they featured mostly Grand Seiko quartz ;)

Why didn't they feature the auto GS and the SPring Drives? Lol

Nevertheless, a great 30min clip and Badrun was looking great! :mrgreen:

But it's important to make appointment.

The manager in the documentary was the same tour guide who brought me through the museum.
