The Company of Seiko began in the year of 1881 when a jewelry store was opened by a Japanese man named Kintaro Hattori. The store was called “K.Hattori” and it was opened in the city of Tokyo in Japan. Kintaro started producing clocks eleven years after he opened the store and used the name Seikosha. The name Seiko was chosen for the line of watches because it means success, minute or exquisite in Japanese.

The first Seiko watches were introduced in the year of 1924 and 42 years later the Seiko Astron watch was introduced. This watch was a big hit as it was the first quartz watch produced in the world. When this watch first hit the stores it was approximately the same price one would pay for a new car. Once the buzz of this particular watch subsided, Seiko watches then introduced the world’s first quartz chronograph. Then Seiko and Orient watches went into partnership together in 1985.

Seiko watches have also been used in many of the main sporting events because they are known for their accurate timekeeping and excellent quality of watches. Seiko watches were used at the Olympic Games as well as many soccer FIFA world cups in Italy, Argentina, Mexico and Spain.

Seiko has undergone many changes over the years, some of them include;

• In 1917 Seiko was incorporated

• In 1983 it was renamed Hattori Seiko Co

• In 1990 was renamed again, this time to Seiko Corporation

• It turned into a holding company in the year 2001

• In 2007 it was renamed Seiko Holdings Corporation and remains that way today

The Seiko group consists of three companies, Seiko Holding Corporation, Seiko Epson Corporation and Seiko instruments. The Seiko Holdings Corporation is the company that markets the watches and the other two companies produce the movements for the watches. The company of Seiko watches is popular for their magnificent timepieces and they are also one of not so many wristwatch producers that make everything the watch requires in-house. Everything from the smallest components of the watch to the lubricating oil is made by Seiko factories.

These watches can go up to a high price; it all depends on what you are looking for. But whatever it is, you will get good value for your money, brands that don’t produce high quality pieces will not be one of the world’s best manufactures, so with Seiko there is nothing to worry about.
