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. Seiko has historically produced and continues to produce, some of the most accurate and innovative watches ever made. Their corporate philosophy, artisan culture, and technological innovation ensure that they will remain on the cutting edge of watch design far into the future. 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.
