Although the Seiko name was adopted in 1924with the introduction of its first wrist watch, the
company was actually founded 43 years earlierby a clockmaker in Tokyo's Ginza District.
Applauded for its accuracy and craftsmanship, the seiko watch became a
resounding success and by 1938, demand for the timepieces pushed
yearly production to well over one million watches.
Dedicated to technology advancement and precise manufacture, the Seiko Company has
repeatedly staked its reputation on performance, acting as the Official Timer of the Olympic
Games in Tokyo, Sapporo, Barcelona, Lillihammer and Nagano. Seiko's many design
innovations include the world's first quartz watch, the world's first LCD quartz watch with six digit
display, and the world's first intelligent analog

quartz watch with alarm and timer function.
In 1992, with the introduction of the Kinetic design, once again Seiko rewrote the state of the
art. The Seiko Kinetic collection is a line of quartz
watches that are electrically charged by movement. The Kinetic Auto Relay goes into
suspended animation when unworn for three days, thus conserving energy. With a few
shakes of the wearer's wrist, it wakes up and resets itself to the exact time.
