Introduction to Joseph Victor Ejercito
Joseph Victor Ejercito, widely known as JV Ejercito, is one of the more recognizable names in Philippine politics. The son of former President Joseph Estrada, he has built a political career largely on his own terms, serving as congressman for San Juan City and later as a senator of the Philippines. He has remained a consistent presence in the upper chamber and on the national political stage, and as of recent election cycles continues to seek a return to the Senate. Beyond his legislative work, Ejercito maintains a public profile that extends into social and civic causes, keeping him in the public eye between electoral campaigns.
When it comes to watches, the Joseph Victor Ejercito watch collection leans toward understated depth rather than flash. He has been spotted wearing the Grand Seiko Limited Edition SBGH257, a piece that sits firmly at the technical end of the Grand Seiko catalog. That choice is telling. The SBGH257 is not a watch that announces itself to a casual observer — it rewards familiarity with the brand. At its core is Grand Seiko's caliber 9SA5, a movement the brand introduced in 2020 as its first ground-up high-beat mechanical caliber in over fifty years. Running at 36,000 vibrations per hour and featuring a dual-impulse escapement developed entirely in-house, the 9SA5 represented a genuine engineering milestone for the Japanese manufacturer.
Choosing a limited-edition Grand Seiko with a movement of that significance suggests a collector who does his research. Grand Seiko occupies an interesting position — respected deeply among enthusiasts but still underrecognized in mainstream watch culture — and wearing the SBGH257 in a political environment where Swiss luxury brands dominate wrists reflects a degree of independent taste. Whether his collection runs deeper remains to be seen, but the one sighting on record already says something considered about where his horological interests lie.
JV Ejercito Spotted Wearing Grand Seiko Limited Edition SBGH257
Inserted 04/05/2023
The Grand Seiko SBGH257 houses the caliber 9SA5, Grand Seiko's first entirely new high-beat movement in over half a century, beating at 36,000 vph with a dual impulse escapement that Grand Seiko developed entirely in-house. Limited to a precise number of pieces, the SBGH257 features a dial inspired by the Shizukuishi landscape, rendered with the brand's signature Zaratsu-polished case. Filipino politician and senatorial candidate JV Ejercito was spotted wearing this quietly prestigious piece, a choice that signals genuine horological awareness rather than badge-driven flexing.
