A Grand Seiko timepiece inspired by Chisen Teien, or Japanese pond gardens
"Japanese gardens are a prime example of the country’s innate aesthetic; incorporating nature’s beauty into daily life by bringing the ever-changing seasons close to hand. The requisite pond of a unique Chisen Teien, or Japanese pond garden style, inspires the latest Grand Seiko European limited-edition timepiece. The deep blue SBGY040 dial is designed to emulate the beautiful moment when ripples on the surface subtly alter the pond’s appearance; using a pattern design similar to traditional Japanese Wagara. From ""Wa"" meaning Japanese style and “gara"" meaning pattern, Wagara are ancient designs based on traditional customs and nature, widely used on kimonos, porcelain, and interior décor to brighten daily life. This timepiece is powered by the exclusive Grand Seiko 9R Spring Drive Caliber, commemorating its 20th anniversary in 2024. As in all Spring Drive movements, the second hand glides smoothly across the dial, conveying the delicate transition of time. The Japanese people cherish a sense of the transience of nature’s beauty that includes not only the four seasons, but also the subtle changes between them; as summer turns to autumn and autumn to winter."
