Explore The Watch Brand: Seiko
Seiko is Japanese company
manufactures watches, clocks, electronic devices, semiconductors and other
optical products. Seiko is Japanese word meaning “exquisite” or “success”. The
company was founded in 1881 as a small jewellery and watch store called ‘K.
Hattori’ by Mr. Kintarō Hattori in Ginza area of Tokyo. 11 years later in 1892,
he began to produce clocks. And later in 1924, the first watch produced under
the brand name of Seiko. Seiko introduced world’s first quartz watch in 1969
and later introduced first quartz chronograph as well.
At one time Seiko was famous for making watches entirely in-hose. This includes not only major items like microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also includes items such as oils used in lubricating, luminous compounds used in the hand and dials. Even today, the movements are made in their own plants in Japan and their subsidiaries in China, Malaysia and Singapore. The fully integrated in-house production system is still practised for high-end luxury watches in Japan. Talked too much about the company. Now let’s see it’s collections in brief.
