A few years ago, he was able to go to one of HODINKEE's pop-up events in LA and not only meet some of the members of the gang, but also buy his Grand Seiko SBGW231. Michael fondly recalls not only his father's Seiko watches when he was growing up, but also those his uncle would bring back from business trips to Japan. With its impeccable finishing, time-only functionality, and hand-winding movement, his SBGW231 is a stripped-down expression of what he loves about watches and is the one watch that keeps him connected to his father and uncle.
