Since producing their first timepiece in 1924, the name Seiko has been synonymous with fine craftsmanship, and
Seiko watches are known worldwide for their superb design,
elite performance, and legacy of style.
In 1881 Kintaro Hattori opened a clock shop called "Seikosha" in Tokyo's Ginza district and laid the foundation for modern clock and watch making in Japan. The company soonafter produced
clocks, pocket watches, alarm clocks, table clocks, and musical clocks. Then Hattori began working on and obsessing over the perfection of the Japanese wristwatch in 1913.
In 1924, the first wristwatch is produced and Seikosha became the Seiko Corporation, parent company of Seiko Corporation of America. Seiko continued to produce innovative, quality watches,
fallowing with the windable wristwatch, quartz clocks, transistorized table clocks, and the world's first quartz chronometers which were used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The world's first wall clock followed in 1968.
Seiko watches are known for using state-of-the-art technology. From the early days in the Seiko history, Kintaro recognized the importance of having in-house parts and movement production
in order to stay ahead of competitions. With the building of its first balance wheel in 1910 and the first dial in 1913, Seiko has sinced developed a unique line of quartz and mechanical
watches including the Seiko automatic Chronometer series, the Bell-Matic, with a mechanical alarm, the luxury Credo, King Seiko, and the Grand Seiko lines.
Seiko’s Kinetic watches account for the majority of the company’s watch sales because it combines the self-energizing attribute of an automatic watch with quartz accuracy, and recharges
itself entirely by the energy and movement of the wearer. By now Seiko has 6 separate Kinetic movements including the Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay. It has a power saving feature whereby it
hibernates when not used and wakes up again up to 4 years later to the correct time. The latest technological advancement from Seiko is the Seiko Spring Drive introduced in 1999. Spring
Drive is a mechanical watch with the accuracy of a quartz watch. The mainspring in the Spring Drive powers a rotor whose electrical output induces a quartz crystal to emit a reference
signal which regulates the speed at which the mainspring unwinds. It has a power reserve of 72 hours, one of the longest amongst all mechanical watches.
