Seiko

The history of SEIKO began in 1881, when a young entrepreneur of 22 years, Kintaro Hattori, opened his watch repair shop in Tokyo. Kintaro was determined to become a pioneer in the watch industry and his goal was that "SEIKO was always one step ahead of the others". 11 years later, in 1892, he founded the "Seikosha" manufactory and built his first wall clock and, in 1895, his first wristwatch.
