Seiko's Over a Hundred-Year History

Seiko's history stretches back to 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry store in Tokyo. Kintarō Hattori started his business by building and repairing clocks and a little later he started a collaboration with the engineer Tsuruhiko Yoshikawa. Together they founded a watch factory called Seikosha. Seikosha released its first pocket watch in 1895 and its first watch in 1913. The continuity of operations was at stake in 1923 due to a large earthquake. Seikosha's factories and warehouses were destroyed, but Hattori did not give up and rebuilt the factory. This was also a turning point in Seiko's story, because only a year later the first Seiko watch was released, whose name is short for Seikosha. Later, Seiko's story will include numerous significant achievements in the watch industry.

High-Tech Seiko Watches

Seiko means 'excellent' and the goal of Seiko's founder, Hattori, has always been to be one step ahead of the competition. With its development work, Seiko has succeeded in bringing several important inventions to the watch industry, both the first in Japan and the first in the world. One of its most important achievements is the world's first introduction of a quartz watch in 1969.

Seiko was the first to introduce an automatic watch in Japan in the 1950s, and its Diashock shock absorption technology was better than any Japanese competitor at the time. Entering the 1960s, it launched the first Grand Seiko watch, aiming to be the world's best in precision and accuracy. In 1964, when it was the official timekeeper of the Tokyo Olympics, Seiko offered 1,200 different stopwatches for timing the Olympics, and as a tribute to the event, it released a commercial version of the chronograph watch, the first on the Japanese market. The Crown Chronograph was a chronograph that operated with one button technology. The chronograph was followed by the first diver's watch on the Japanese market, the Seiko Divers 150M, which is also the origin of the Seiko Prospex sports watch collection. In the late 1960s, there was a fierce struggle in the watch industry to release the first automatic chronograph, and in February 1969, Seiko introduced the world's first automatic chronograph. This remarkable event took place in the same year when the company released the world's first wristwatch with a quartz movement. Seiko's mechanism is used by several watch manufacturers around the world.

Seiko's innovations also include the Spring Drive movement, which is considered the most significant invention since the release of the quartz movement. In the Spring Drive mechanism, the escapement characteristic of mechanical watches has been replaced by a Tri-syncro regulator. In this way, an extremely accurate and elegantly finished mechanism has been created, with a second hand that moves smoothly without the stepping typical of mechanical and quartz watches.

Even today, Seiko watches are known for their uniquely high technology and their technological innovations are unparalleled. Seiko is also known for the elegant and valuable appearance of its wristwatches. Seiko has been successful not only in product development but also in designing timepieces for more than a hundred years.
