Seiko is not a new name in the world of watches, but it remains one of the most relevant and popular. Seiko actually began in 1881, with the establishment of K. Hattori & Co., which later became the Seiko Corporation (in 1924). In 1938, Seiko’s production surpassed one million watches per year.
Seiko has been at the forefront of many advances in watch making, albeit significantly different kinds of advances than those of the more “horologically pure” watchmakers of Switzerland. Not only did Seiko make the world’s first quartz watch, it has also made a number of other unique and interesting innovations. 1992 saw the introduction of the Seiko Kinetic, a watch that can go into “suspended animation” when not in use, and can reset itself to the right time with just a few shakes.
