Seiko Watches


Since producing their first timepiece in 1924, the name Seiko was synonymous with excellent craftsmanship, and Seiko watches are well famous worldwide for their superb design, elite performance, and heritage of style.

Initially founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori, a watch and jewelry store proprietor in the Ginza area of Tokyo, the business initially started producing wallclocks in 1892 under the name Seikosha: Seiko is Japanese for"achievement","miniature" or even"exquisite" and Sha means"house". During the upcoming few decades, Seikosha climbed and started producing pocket watches and wristwatches, and in 1913 debuted the Laurel, the initial timepiece ever produced in Japan. The quartz watch phenomenon allowed Seiko to expand quickly. Generation reached about 21 million in 2001. The company became recognized as the pioneer in timekeeping accuracy, and Seiko products were often used to time major sporting events including The World Cup, and the Olympic Games.

Seiko is also known for using state-of-the-art technology. From the first days in the Seiko history, Kintaro recognized the importance of having in-house components and motion production in order to stay ahead of competitions. With the construction of its original balance wheel in 1910 and the initial dial in 1913, Seiko has sinced developed a unique line of quartz and mechanical watches such as the Seiko automatic Chronometer series, the Bell-Matic, with a mechanical alert, the luxury Credo, King Seiko, and the Grand Seiko lines. Seiko's Kinetic watches accounts for the vast majority of the organization's watch sales because it combines the self-energizing feature of an automatic watch with quartz accuracy, and recharges itself entirely from the power and movement of the wearer. By now Seiko has 6 different Kinetic movements including the Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay. It has a power saving feature at which it hibernates when not used and wakes up again up to 4 decades after the suitable time. The newest technological advancement from Seiko is the Seiko Spring Drive introduced in 1999. Spring Drive is a mechanical watch with all the precision of a quartz watch. The mainspring from the Spring Drive powers a rotor whose electric output signal induces a quartz crystal to emit a reference signal that modulates the speed where the mainspring unwinds. It has a power reserve of 72 hours, among the greatest amongst all watches.

With innovation in the heart of its firm, Seiko is bounded to be at the forefront of fresh watch technologies.
