Founded by Kintaro Hattori in 1881, Seiko is one of the world's most successful and innovative watch manufacturers. Always pioneering, always one step ahead, Seiko has consistently been at the forefront of technology with a heritage of impressive 'firsts'.
Beginning with the production of Japan's first wristwatch in 1913, the company has consistently pushed forward the boundaries of watch capability and design, including the creation of the world's first quartz watch in 1969 and the first digital watch in 1975. More recently Seiko created Kinetic watches which use the wearer's own movement to supply energy - and these watches celebrate their 20th birthday in 2007.
Cutting edge innovation and luxurious refinement embody Seiko watches today.
