Guests at Grand Seiko’s Nature of Time exhibition observing how a watch is assembled.
With its new “Nature of Time” exhibition at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Grand Seiko highlights the beauty of the natural world in its watches.
This more than five-week long showcase that will run until Jan 2, 2025, is an immersive experience that will delight the senses while celebrating the harmonious blend of nature, craftsmanship and innovation.

Starting with the design of the booth located across from the Sincere boutique, visitors are immediately transported from the lively and energetic vibe of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur onto a plane of serenity and calm, inspired by the beauty of Japan’s forests.
Shades and textures of birch trees can be found throughout the installation.

At the same time, projection mapping overlays the interplay of shadows as if the light is filtering through an overhead canopy of leaves.
Throughout the exhibition, held in partnership with Sincere Fine Watches, sounds of a gentle breeze and the rustling of leaves are piped in to complete the experience.
The concept of this unique exhibition borrows ideas implemented by Grand Seiko when they exhibited in the Watches & Wonders show earlier this year in Geneva, Switzerland.
Among the watches on display are the newly launched Evolution 9 dress watch SLGW003 and its redesigned, manual-wind movement that offers one of the most pleasant winding experiences in a mechanical watch.
A focus on dials is part of the exhibition at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, until Jan 2, 2025.
Visitors will also get to witness first-hand a live demonstration of the 9R Spring Drive calibre assembly by a Grand Seiko master, watchmaker Junya Kamijo.
Complementing the showcase of Grand Seiko’s precision and artistry is a Chef’s Table Experience, which is a four-course platter with seasonal ingredients freshly flown in from Japan.
The ‘Nature of Time’ exhibition is held by Grand Seiko in partnership with Sincere Fine Watches, at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. It ends on Jan 2, 2025.
The tasting menu by Kinobu, a 1 Michelin Star restaurant in Kyoto, invites guests on a culinary journey designed by chef Takuji Takahashi.
It is priced at RM198++ per person with four sessions available at 12pm, 2pm, 6pm and 8pm Tuesday to Sunday. Reservations are required five days in advance.
