Watch enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that they can now get up close and personal with the brand’s exclusive timepieces.
Located at The Shoppes at MBS, the Grand Seiko boutique joins the ranks of other luxury stores in the complex.
Despite being a new addition, the boutique seems to blend in seamlessly with its surroundings.
The boutique has a full glass storefront that shows off a bright and polished interior. Apart from that, an understated gold trimming lines the glass panels.
Without even entering the store, passers-by already get a visual treat of the boutique’s minimal aesthetic.
Furthermore, only four display stands line the boutique’s storefront. There, exclusive timepieces are contrasted against a cobalt blue backdrop.

Tucked away at the back of the boutique, it’s fair to assume that they reserve this room for esteemed clients.
According to CNA Luxury, the boutique will stock a range of exclusive timepieces such as the Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon SLGT003.
