Seiko began its long and distinguished watch making career under the name of K.Hattorri & Co. Ltd. , established by Kintaro Hattori in 1881. Seiko started as a clock supply factory in 1892, using the name Seikosha, then it moved to manufacturing watches in 1895 (the fob watch). Seiko produced its first wrist watch, and Japans first wrist watch, in 1913. Then in 1924, the first watches appearred bearing the brand name Seiko. Seiko Watch - The Astron
Seiko Watch - Sports, Mens and Ladies
The continual research and development effort by Seiko has seen it produce Japans first self winding watch in 1955, then the production of the worlds first commercially available quartz watch in 1969 (The Astron). Then 1978 saw Seiko introduce the worlds first very-fine adjusted ultra-accurate twin quartz watch, with less then five seconds deviation per year. In recent times, Seiko has introduced the Thermic range, powered by the body heat from the watch wearer (1998), and the the Seiko Kinetic, a range of quartz watches power by human movement (1994).




The Seiko Kinetic has become a leader in the watch market today. The unique Kinetic Quartz technology that charges its battery store by movements from the wrist of the wearer allows for this range of watches to never need a battery change. The Kinetic watches make use of power saving options when the power supply of the Kinetic model runs low, (low can be 8 hours worth or 24 hours worth of time) such as only moving the second hand every two seconds or not advancing time until the watch is moved to charge it again (kinetic auto relay). Using these energy saving techniques the kinetic watch is able to extend the length of time that it can be placed down and not moved while still keeping time. The kinetic series has a stylish range of men and womens models to suit all tastes.

Seiko has become one of the biggest names in wrist watch development, with an impressive range of watches that cater to all aspects of the market, including the sports watch market. Seiko has an impressive list of sporting events that it has been offical timer for, including both the winter and summer Olympic games.
