The Seiko Success Story

Seiko is synonymous with quality watchmaking ever since the company was founded in 1881. Known for quality timepieces, Seiko has built up a reputation for itself over more than a century. Back in the 60’s when the world was a much simpler place, the Seiko brand ruled the watch making industry. What you generally saw on the wrists of people was a Seiko watch. Seiko watches represented a class and style that was the trendsetter in those times.

The history of Seiko watches began when in 1892 Kintaro Hattori began producing clocks under the brand name Seikosha, roughly meaning a House of exquisite workmanship in Japanese.

Seiko has always remained a step ahead of the competition with innovation, precision, invention and they have been credited with a number of firsts in the watch making world. At a time when the world considered western made items to be of better quality than any other, the founder of Seiko was confident his timepieces would sell regardless of the common belief.

Seiko made history with its first wrist watch in 1924. This is the original Seiko with a neat, clear white dial, distinctive numerals and leather strap. Then followed the Seiko Marvel in 1956 which had a movement that was fully manufactured inhouse another exquisite timepiece.

In 1969, Seiko achieved two milestones. The company introduced the first automatic chronograph watch to the world followed by the Seiko Quartz Astron which was the first watch with a quartz movement. This triggered off the quartz revolution in the watch making industry. Seiko is known to make the best quartz watches in the world, in fact they invented the quartz watch. You can get one of the high-quality Seiko quartz watches in the £1500 range or pick up one from their most affordable line up of quartz watches for as little as £155.

Over the decades, people have loved the Seiko brand for its style, class and durability. Another plus point in Seiko’s favour is the affordability of their timepieces. Even the most affordable Seiko is a high quality and long-lasting timepiece that proves to be good value for money.

Seiko offers hundreds of models in their watch collections like the Seiko Astron Collection, The Seiko Prospex Collection, The Presage Collection, The Seiko Premier Collection or the Seiko Solar Collection. The Seiko 5 Collection is perhaps the most popular with the masses as the timepieces are cheap, durable and reliable.
