History
Kintarō Hattori founded the company in 1881 in Tokyo, initially as a clock repair shop. Seiko achieved global significance in 1969 by releasing the Astron, the world’s first quartz wristwatch. This event triggered the Quartz Crisis, fundamentally altering the global watch industry. The brand remains historically important for its development of diverse movements, including mechanical, quartz, and Spring Drive technologies, influencing both professional diving standards and everyday consumer fashion.
