Moving ahead. Touching hearts. 

Truly Seiko has moved ahead up to this time, continuously touching hearts along the way.

Seiko Holdings Corporation or simply, Seiko, is a Japanese company that manufactures and sells watches, clocks, jewelry, and other electronics.

The company was brought to life in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori, who opened a watch and jewelry shop called “K. Hattori” in Tokyo. In 1892, he also produced clocks under the brand “Seikosha” which means “House of Exquisite Workmanship”. The word Seiko means “exquisite”.

Seiko’s first watches were made available in 1924.
