A sensory affair that brought to life the brand&rsquo;s rich heritage and &ldquo;The Nature of Time&rdquo; philosophy.

First hosted in Tokyo last September, Grand Seiko Asia Pacific recently brought the &ldquo;Alive in Time through the Five Senses&rdquo; exhibition to Singapore for a private <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/hermes-chaine-d-ancre-exhibition-sg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showcase</a>. As the name suggests, the event brings to life the brand&rsquo;s rich heritage and philosophy of &ldquo;The Nature of Time&rdquo; through the five faculties of sight, sound, touch, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/living/best-coffee-shops-cafes-to-visit-paris-france-travel-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taste</a> and <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/grooming/hermes-h24-herbes-vives-cologne-fragrance-scent-contemporary-man-grooming-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smell</a>.

Starting with Sight, guests got to witness the delicate assembly of the foundational 9S and 9R movements by master watchmakers from Japan. Through this demonstration, the spirit of &ldquo;takumi&rdquo; (artisan) is laid bare for all to see. Sound brought them on an auditory journey as the 16-beat rhythm of the superlative Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon is amplified and harmonised with blinking lights in an immersive chamber.

Moving on to Touch, guests got to explore and interact with Grand Seiko&rsquo;s exquisite timepieces within a meticulously crafted Zen garden setting. Feeling the watches on the wrist definitely deepens the connection to the brand&rsquo;s technical artistry and craftsmanship. The tour ends with Taste and Smell, as Chef Aeron of Kappou presented a Japanese Hassun experience representing the passage of time and changing of seasons from Winter to Spring.

&ldquo;Alive in Time through the Five Senses&rdquo; marks a significant milestone for Grand Seiko Asia Pacific as it is the first ever large-scale exhibition hosted in the region. It follows the first anniversary celebration of the brand&rsquo;s Marina Bay Sands boutique, which has the distinction of being the inaugural Asia boutique outside of Japan.
