The Grand Seiko “Avant-garde” art project

Seiko presents four new editions of its Grand Seiko black ceramic watch created in collaboration with two masters of contemporary Japanese photography, Daido Moriyama and Nobuyoshi Araki.

At Baselworld this year, a new sports Grand Seiko Black Ceramic Limited Edition was announced. To celebrate this new step forward in Grand Seiko design, Seiko invited two great masters of contemporary Japanese photography, Daido Moriyama and Nobuyoshi Araki, to contribute their most iconic photographs to the presentation of this limited edition. From this collaboration came a unique creation; four watches that use some of the most well-known works of Moriyama and Araki on extra-length straps.

Moriyama provided shots of fleeting expressive moments captured during his wanderings in urban landscapes. The black-and-white photographic sensuality and graphical patterns leave an unforgettable impression. Araki, whose work has always celebrated eroticism, sex and death, selected flowers, a beautiful symbol of life, as a motif. The vivid colors portray the vibrant energy of the flowers.

Two of the Black Ceramic Limited Edition, chronograph versions, will be launched in June 2016 and the other two, GMT versions, launched in July. As a special gift, an additional regular length strap featuring an image of each photographer’s work will be given with each watch.
