Seiko
Japanese manufacture
Seiko's history reaches back to 1881, when a twenty-year-old Kintaro Hattori opened a watch sales and repair shop in Tokyo's Ginza district, going on to found the Seikosha factory in 1892. In 1913 the brand unveiled the Laurel — the first Japanese wristwatch — laying the foundation for one of Japan's leading manufactures. For generations Seiko has combined the discipline of craft with a relentless pursuit of perfection, remaining a symbol of precision and reliability.
Above all, Seiko is a spirit of innovation. In 1969 it introduced the Quartz Astron — the world's first quartz watch — sparking a genuine revolution in timekeeping. The decades that followed brought Kinetic, which turns the motion of the wrist into electrical energy, and Spring Drive, ingeniously uniting a mainspring drive with quartz-level regulating precision and a gliding seconds hand. All of these achievements are born in Seiko's own manufacture, where the brand oversees every stage of a watch's creation.
Seiko's rich line-up spans the versatile, automatic Seiko 5, the professional Prospex divers and sports watches, and the elegant mechanical Presage models, which draw on Japanese aesthetics. These are watches with dependable, in-house movements that pair flawless execution with accessibility. Seiko appeals equally to lovers of classic elegance and to adventurers who prize durability — for everyone who expects precision proven across generations.
