More Info About Replica Seiko

The Seiko story begins in 1881, when Kintaro Hattori opened a watch repair and jewelry shop in the Ginza district of Tokyo, Japan.  In 1892 he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha, which according to Seiko’s official company history,  is a Japanese word meaning  ‘success’, ‘minute’, or ‘exquisite’.  Today, Kintaro’s great grandson, Shinji Hattori, as president of Seiko Watch Corporation, is still dedicated to the standard of perfection the founder always strove to achieve.

From humble beginnings the Seiko Watch Corporation has grown to be a visionary and innovative company on the world stage of timekeeping.  By consistently being in the forefront of new technology in watch making they remain a leader in the watch market.

In 1895, Seiko builds the first pocket watch.  In 1969, they introduced the world’s first production quartz watch, the Astron.  They followed that up with being the first company to produce the first quartz chronograph watch.  They were also the watch company to manufacture the first watch with computer functions, the UC-2000. Most recently, Seiko Watches rolled out the ultimate mechanical movement, the Seiko Spring Drive, which provides 72 hours of power compared to 40 hours of the other traditional mechanical movements.  According to company records this revolutionary mechanism delivers accuracy comparable to other quartz watch movements.
