About the Project

Overview The store is located on Ginza Namiki-dori, a street-front street lined with luxury watch brands, with the sales floor on the first floor and the business lounge on the second. The boutique has a new, light and warm look, with white plaster walls and plain wood showcases. Taking advantage of its location in Ginza, the store will communicate its brand message to domestic luxury watch fans and inbound tourists.
Issues/Themes Grand Seiko will communicate its new brand message, "Alive in Time/For those living in this moment," to increase the brand's appeal to younger generations and overseas.
Space Solution/Realization Based on Grand Seiko's new brand message, "Alive in Time/For those living in this moment," we created design guidelines for the boutique that express the new brand image. Based on these guidelines, we designed the boutique to suit the location and lot. From the exterior to the interior space, case fixtures and clockwise displays, all designs consistently express the new brand image, and will serve as Grand Seiko's new communication tool for the world.
Design for Environment Safety design: To prevent customers from touching the fixtures and injuring themselves, the fixtures are designed with rounded edges to eliminate sharp corners.
