Founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori, Seiko stands as one of the most influential watch brands in history. From producing Japan’s first wristwatch to introducing the world’s first quartz watch, Seiko has consistently shaped modern watchmaking through innovation, reliability, and exceptional value. What truly sets Seiko apart is its vertical integration, designing and manufacturing everything in-house, from movements to dials.
Today, Seiko’s diverse collections cater to a wide spectrum of watch collectors, each series offering a distinct blend of technology, design philosophy, and craftsmanship.
