The story of Seiko began in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori - a 22-year old entrepreneur - opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. Today, after more than 130 years of innovation, Kintaro Hattori’s company is still dedicated to the perfection that the founder always strove to achieve by creating some of the fine masterpieces in the world and fine watchmaking craftsmanship in the history of horology.
