Seiko

In 1881, Seiko was born when Kintaro Hattori began selling and repairing watches and clocks in his shop in central Tokyo. Twelve years later, Hattori opened a factory where his first wall clock was made. A few years later, the very first pocket watch was made and this paved the way for the future of Seiko and the production of wrist watches.

The Grand Seiko was created in 1960 where the most skilled and experienced watchmakers were tasked to create the best watch of their ability, something which would be durable, reliable, and showcased Seikos excellence in mechanical watch making. In 1969, the world’s very first quartz watch - the Seiko Quartz Aston was made and this was 100 times more accurate than any other watch. A huge milestone for Seiko.

Seiko have had over 130 years of success and have had the honour of becoming ‘world’s first’ for many of their watches. They continue to strive for perfection and are dedicated to delivering the highest quality of products to be the best in the industry.
