About the Project

Overview Watches and Wonders Geneva is a luxury watch fair held every April in Geneva, Switzerland. It is held at Palexpo, an exhibition center adjacent to Geneva Airport, and features pavilions from approximately 60 brands. The Grand Seiko Pavilion aimed to promote this year's Grand Seiko brand stance and new models to buyers and media from around the world.
Issues/Themes The aim is to raise awareness of the Grand Seiko brand around the world and promote this year's new models.
Space Solution/Realization Based on the theme of "Transparent Light and Shifting Shadows," the installation expressed Grand Seiko's uniquely Japanese view of nature. From Video that used the entire space, Spatial Production of highlight models, and the window Spatial Production promoting various new models, the installation was expressed through the movement of shapes, textures, light and shadow. The world view of Grand Seiko and the message contained in this year's new models were conveyed to the world.
