Introduction

Joseph Awadarko is the founder and president of the Institute Museum of Ghana. He's also director of the Noldor Residency, an annual four-week program inviting emerging African artists to expand on their practice in a studio space. As an entrepreneur, art collector, and an artist, Joseph is among Ghana's leading voices and contemporary art. The new SBGW279 watch follows in this tradition, pulling cues directly from the very first Grand Seiko, which dates back to 1960.
