ABOUT THE BRAND -The story of Seiko began in 1881, when a 21 year old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. Today, after more than 130 years of innovation, Kintaro Hattori’s company is still dedicated to the perfection that the founder always strove to achieve. Those who know Seiko mainly for its lower-priced quartz watches and even many who have discovered the Japanese brand’s high-horology Grand Seiko timepieces may be unaware that Seiko’s history of watchmaking stretches all the way back to the late 19th century, and includes several watch-world firsts.
