The dial is curved so much harder to apply the Irushi lacquer ( which comes from local lacquer trees!). Then the hours and markers are hand painted (by the same guy), with gold flake and lacquer .

Truly amazing ! This artisanal passion is what sets GS apart from all other watch brands in the luxury watch world ! ( I’m not talking the high Horology watches - they’re on a different level !)

Beautiful collection! I recently picked up the SBGA413 Cherry Blossom and it's insanity. I have such a hard time not staring at it all day.

I picked up my first GS (SBGM241, Toge WoS collaboration) last week, and I’ve become obsessed with the brand. No one is doing anything close to what they’re doing.

That’s a great Spring Drive collection! After picking up the automatic movement, I’d like to eventually add a Spring Drive and a Hi-Beat.

I absolutely love the spring drive movement. I really want the GMT to add to my SBGA211.

Nice set!

Love the Spring Drive. The smooth sweep is a beautiful representation of the passage of time.

I think this is why the Spring Drive will always be my choice over a hi- beat....
I’ve really bought into GS’s Nature of Time shpeel!!
