The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 351: Joe Kirk of Grand Seiko Returns!

On this episode of the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re happy to be joined by Joe Kirk from Grand Seiko. Joe has been on the podcast a few times, most recently in 2022, and he’s always a fantastic guest. In this episode, Kat Shoulders and Zach Weiss chat with Joe about the recent crop of releases from Grand Seiko at this year’s Watches & Wonders event, including watches powered by the new 9SA4 caliber, and the incredible color changing dial featured on the SBGC275. They also talk about a huge variety of other topics, including servicing your Grand Seiko, the story behind the new Kodo, and what makes the new Grand Seiko flagship boutique in New York City special. He also provides some insight into the release of the new Locomotive from Credor, one of the most unexpected and exciting new releases this year. This is an episode you won’t want to miss if you’re a Grand Seiko fan, new or old.
