Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon
Kodo (which is the Japanese word for heartbeat) is Grand Seiko’s first mechanical complication. Inside the 43.80mm platinum and titanium case is an innovative calibre whose verified accuracy of +5/-3 seconds/day remains stable thanks to a constant-force mechanism which, for the first time in horological history, combines with a tourbillon as one unit on a single axis. The surface of the calfskin strap is hand-painted with Urushi lacquer. Kodo was designed by an elite group of Grand Seiko watchmakers and designers who will join a new studio in Ginza, Tokyo, close to where Seiko was founded, that will become the stage for Grand Seiko’s mechanical complications.
