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. Eleven years later, in 1892, he established the 'Seikosha' factory in Tokyo. It was here that Kintaro Hattori produced his first clocks and these marked the beginnings of a company that was to become one of the world's most important manufacturers of timepieces With over 130 years of innovation, Seiko still remains dedicated to the perfection that the founder always strove to achieve.
