Seiko - A History of Good Time.

Seiko is a name that commands historical respect in the timepiece industry. In 1881, Kintaro Hattori opened a clock shop that laid the groundwork for the modern watch making industry in Japan. The watch brand was called Seikosha. The present day Corporation is direct decedent of this company. The early production of pocket watches—followed by alarm clocks, table clocks, and musical clocks, were the company’s main products in the early years. In 1912, the Seiko Company considered the conception of a Japanese wristwatch.

Forward thinking and innovative, the Seiko Corporation has always been at the forefront of technology in the watch making industry. The company pioneered the first self -winding watch in the country of Japan. The 1964 Olympics in Tokyo ushered in the innovative quartz watch, whereby the company was chosen to be the official timer for the summer Olympic games. Seiko has a history of technological firsts as well. Seiko pioneered the first multi functional digital watch along with being the first to produce the LCD quartz.

Each Seiko watch is built with unmatched excellence and durability, and the Seiko watch brand warranties are as solid as the timepieces they represent. Seiko watches are known and respected the world over, and the brand is often a first choice for those who are sports minded. You can count on nearly every Seiko model being waterproof as well.

Whether you shop the market for style or functionality—or perhaps both—you can count on the Seiko brand for all of your timepiece needs.
