Authorised retailer for Seiko Watches. Seiko began as a clock repair store in Tokyo
in
1881, founded by the current CEO’s Great grandfather, the name derived
from ‘Seikosha’ or ‘House of precision'. With a purpose to pursue
watchmaking excellence, Seiko has grown into a global timekeeping
presence. Renowned for horological innovation with a stream of world
firsts including the first TV watches, Seiko created the first ever quartz
watch in 1969. Seiko timepieces deliver precisely beautiful Japanese

stuck to that vision, boasting many world
firsts - it's no
surprise that Seiko watches are world renowned for quality
and style.
Brand History
Seiko were originally founded in Japan in 1881 when Kintaro
Hattori opened the K Hattori Clock Shop at the age of 21.
The first clocks and watches were produced during the 1890's
under the name Seikosha which means "House of Exquisite
Workmanship.” Japan's first wristwatch was produced by the
company, called the Laurel, in 1913. The first watches were
released under the Seiko brand in 1924 and have been
officially used on all watches produced by the
company since 1937. The Seiko brand have become synonymous
with precision timekeeping. Because of their stellar
reputation they have become the official timekeeper of a
number of events including 6 Olympic Games and 4 FIFA World
Cups.
