SEIKO - A Brand Built on Tradition and Reliability
By John P Stevens
SEIKO is a Japanese word, which means precision. This indicates reliability, and hence, one can easily say that the very name of Seiko, as a brand, conveys its reliability. This is why, Seiko is perceived in the minds of people as very reliable. Precision and reliability are things that you can always expect from a Seiko watch.
Watches are considered classic, and they are like an essential accessory. They not only offer functionality, but they also possess style. This makes watches an element of tradition as well as style. Seiko is the brand that delivers reliability, and style as well as tradition. The word Seiko has built such reputation over the years of its existence that it is now associated with quality, and reliability.
In the past as well as now, Seiko has been an important brand when it comes to watches. In the past, Seiko focused more on functionality and technical excellence than on style. This has made Seiko do a lot of research in movement innovation. Due to this, Seiko is popular in the world due to its precision, and hence the reliability.
Seiko started with wall clocks in 1881, and then made pocket watches. It started making wristwatches in 1913, and since then, there has been no looking back. Seiko has been making vast improvements in its technology, and has been making great designs over the years. The long history of Seiko makes the brand a heritage, and a tradition.
Seiko makes watches with innovative technology, and unique design for both men, and women. Over the years, Seiko has been the first one to do many innovations in watch making. In 1969, Seiko was responsible for making the first quartz watch of the world. Later on in 1973, Seiko made the first LCD quartz watch, which was capable of displaying six digits.
In 1982, Seiko made the first TV watch of the world. Showing that it is on the forefront of watch technology, Seiko made a watch in 1984 that possessed computerised function. Rising to its reputation for innovation, and innovative technology, Seiko made the first ever watch in 2008, designed exclusively for space walks. All this, and much more are the basis on which, Seiko is considered a heritage, and tradition when it comes to watches.
Recently Seiko has collaborated with the Honda F1 team. Seiko was not only the official team watch partner for the 2006, and 2007 seasons, but it also made special watches with motor racing themes for men as well as women. Some models of these limited edition watches also had the autograph of the F1 team on the back.
The major collections by Seiko include Arctura, Sportura, and Coutura. The items in each of these have different characteristics. Other than that, Seiko also makes technology watches including Chronograph, kinetic, Analog digital, Kinetic chronograph, kinetic perpetual, and others. The features and prices of all the watches vary from one another.

The Ethos of Seiko - Innovation and Refinement
The Ethos of Seiko - Innovation and Refinement
By John P Stevens
Watches are essentials for men and women, as they are necessary for every wardrobe. They represent the style statement, and their functions fulfil the requirements of the wearer. In 1881, for the very first time, Kintaro Hattori opened a clock shop in Tokyo, which was the foundation of SEIKO. A brand was launched by the name of Seikosha, which became the parent company of SEIKO.
After a decade, Hattori launched a factory with 10 employees, and their efforts pocket introduced watches in 1985. In 1899, the company produced alarm clocks, followed by table, and musical clocks in 1902. The next year the company of Hattori designed first Japanese made Seikosha wristwatch. In 1924, SEIKO was officially created. After 43 years, the company made the first SEIKO wristwatch.
Since that time, there has been much modern advancement to the world of watches. Throughout the times, Seiko has maintained its performance in the timepiece industry. In 1956, SEIKO produced the first self-winding wristwatch made in Japan. In 1964, SEIKO released the quartz chronometers for the very first time, and became the official timer of the Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo.
In 1968, they launched the first quartz wall clock of the world. The following year, Seiko released the first quartz watch in 1969. In the same year, Tiffany & Co. began to sell the Seiko Astron 35SQ, which was covered in solid 18kt yellow gold. During the next years, SEIKO introduced many watches by which, entire world was unfamiliar. First multi-function digital watch, and the first LCD quartz watch with six-digit digital display were introduced then. Seiko has made four types of major innovations, and refinements
Spring Drive is the created by SEIKO since the quartz Astron in 1969. It is based on the principles of all mechanical watch technology. It contains a mainspring, but uses an entirely new system for time regulation. It delivers the equivalent of 1 second per day accuracy, and comes with unique features.
SEIKO Quartz ASTRON has brought innovation to the history of watches developed in 1969. It featured crystal oscillator cut in the shape of a tuning fork, and an IC, and step motor were developed to operate signals from a crystal oscillator. One of the major characteristic of quartz is Step motion second by mounting and an open step motor.
SEIKO automatic movement 6R20 is designed to place the SEIKO firmly in the high quality mechanical market. The 6R20 movement is made of parts, which are produced, and are assembled by SEIKO Instruments Inc. The movement is featured by engraved rotor, hairline shading on the main surfaces, and polished edges to the bridges. This movement delivers accuracy of -15~+25 seconds a day. The Spron 510* mainspring generates a reserve of more than 45 hours.
On the platforms of mechanical and quartz, seiko created Kinetic prototype, which was introduced by the name Og AGM. It was the first watch of the world to convert the kinetic movement into electrical energy. It was the first step to the development of Kinetic watches. After 20 years, many Kinetic Identicals were introduced featuring high performances, and long-lasting convenience to the users.

The Origins and History of the Japanese Watch Industry
The Origins and History of the Japanese Watch Industry
By John P Stevens
Since the ancient times, the concept of time has been existent in one way or another. It is a fact that clocks and watches were developed much later, but the people in the ancient times have always used some phenomenon to measure and keep track of time. In ancient times, there has been everything from hourglasses and water clocks to fire clocks and sundials.
Watches were made in Japan in different forms, before watch making became an industry. According to the Chronicles of Japan, it was in 671 that the Emperor Tenchi produced a water clock. As far as the watch industry in Japan is concerned, it goes back to the time of arrival of Christianity. This happened in the mid sixteenth century.
The first mechanical clock is believed to have been made in Japan in 1551. This is the oldest clock to have existed, and it was a given to a feudal lord of Japan as a gift from a Spanish missionary. After this clock, more mechanical clocks followed. This is believed to be the start of clock and watch-making in Japan as an industry.
This was called as the Pre-Edo period, in which the Japanese learnt from the Christian missionaries not only the art of making watches and clocks, but also organs as well as astronomical equipment. The Edo Era followed the Pre-Edo era, and in this period, the Japanese produced many unique ornamental clocks.
This period lasted from 1603 to 1868. The clocks in this period were truly Japanese because the traditional Japanese time system had been incorporated in these watches. In the Japanese time system, the day was divided into night-time and daytime, and each of these was further divided into six segments.
There were many master clock and watchmakers in the Edo Era. The clocks in this era consisted of wall clocks as well as those that were spring driven and could be placed on cabinets or shelves. By this time, the production of clocks with complex functions had started. These included calendars, chimes and alarms.
1868 to 1945 was the period of the birth as well as growth of the modern watch and clock making industry. This era is known in history as the Early Meiji Era. The start of this modern era was when the manufacture of wall clocks started in 1875. It was in 1894 that Osaka, which was a Japanese company, started making pocket watches, with the assistance of equipment and engineers from the US.
By the end of this era, there were more than twenty factories in Japan that were making more than 3.8 million timepieces on an annual basis. From that time till the end of the World War II, pocket watches were manufactured by Japan and were widely used.
The Japanese watch industry had support from the government, and a private sector institute was established that constantly worked on the improvement of domestic watches. In the 1920s, the manufacture of wristwatches was started by the Japanese; and, instead of a necessity, wristwatches became a symbol of fashion and still remain to be so.

Seiko Watches

With a history of over one hundred years, the Seiko watch is one of the most recognized watches in existence today. In Japanese, the word Seiko is translated to mean "success", which is exactly what has transpired with Seiko and its products. In 1924 the first Seiko brand watch was produced. Seiko's "Astron", a quartz watch which cost about the same as an automobile was introduced in 1969. It followed with its chronograph watch.
By this time Seiko was building a reputation for its accurate time keeping, where it was best known for its wristwatches and advanced technology. In addition, its entire line and accessories such as oils and compounds used in the production of Seiko watches were being produced in-house. Even though it was already well known on the international market, Seiko watches were worn by "007 actors" Roger Moore and Sean Connery giving this exquisite time piece even further world wide recognition.
In 2005, Seiko introduced its spring drive which is intended to provide up to seventy two hours of power rather than their usual forty hours. In favor of a Tri-synchro regulator, it replaces the previous balance wheel escapement. Spring power turns the wheels and generates power for the oscillator.
By today's standards, Seiko is known for its efficiency, accuracy, dependability, and performance. Many have tried to match Seiko's reputation but few have endured its staying power. Consumer needs change almost daily and Seiko changes right along with them ( in many cases ahead of them), re-inventing the watch and what it can do. As a fashion statement, Seiko is a cut above its competition, with its UC 2000 computer functioning watch, the Lumibrite and the Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph.
Maintaining its reputation as a kingpin of watch sellers in Japan and worldwide, Seiko is alive in over 60 countries and in 2008 reportedly profited five billion Yen. With it knowledge of keeping perfect time and its reputation for endurance, Seiko was granted the official timer status for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In 1968 its durability was responsible for receiving the award for "Best Mechanical Wrist Chronometer" with the highest score ever earned.
With so many years in production and as many different models, finding the right Seiko watch to fit your lifestyle, could present a dilemma, however, here are a few models you may wish to consider. Coutura Kinetic Perpetual snp008, Black Dial Yellow Gold Plated srkz90 and Black/Rose Gold Alarm Chrono snac42 all from the Coutura Collection.

In Japanese, the word Seiko is translated to mean "success", which is exactly what has transpired with Seiko and its products. In 1924 the first Seiko brand watch was produced. Seiko's "Astron", a quartz watch which cost about the same as an automobile was introduced in 1969. It followed with its chronograph watch.
By this time Seiko was building a reputation for its accurate time keeping, where it was best known for its wristwatches and advanced technology. In addition, its entire line and accessories such as oils and compounds used in the production of Seiko watches were being produced in-house. Even though it was already well known on the international market, Seiko watches were worn by "007 actors" Roger Moore and Sean Connery giving this exquisite time piece even further world wide recognition.
In 2005, Seiko introduced its spring drive which is intended to provide up to seventy two hours of power rather than their usual forty hours. In favor of a Tri-synchro regulator, it replaces the previous balance wheel escapement. Spring power turns the wheels and generates power for the oscillator.
By today's standards, Seiko is known for its efficiency, accuracy, dependability, and performance. Many have tried to match Seiko's reputation but few have endured its staying power. Consumer needs change almost daily and Seiko changes right along with them ( in many cases ahead of them), re-inventing the watch and what it can do. As a fashion statement, Seiko is a cut above its competition, with its UC 2000 computer functioning watch, the Lumibrite and the Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph.
Maintaining its reputation as a kingpin of watch sellers in Japan and worldwide, Seiko is alive in over 60 countries and in 2008 reportedly profited five billion Yen. With it knowledge of keeping perfect time and its reputation for endurance, Seiko was granted the official timer status for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In 1968 its durability was responsible for receiving the award for "Best Mechanical Wrist Chronometer" with the highest score ever earned.
With so many years in production and as many different models, finding the right Seiko watch to fit your lifestyle, could present a dilemma, however, here are a few models you may wish to consider. Coutura Kinetic Perpetual snp008, Black Dial Yellow Gold Plated srkz90 and Black/Rose Gold Alarm Chrono snac42 all from the Coutura Collection.
