About Us

Our Heritage

History of the only manufacture with every watchmaking expertise.

The story of Seiko began in 1881, when a 21 year old entrepreneur,

Kintaro Hattori, 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.

Grand Seiko became an independent brand from Seiko

Grand Seiko has always been distinct in its design, character, presentation and, more recently, its calibers. In order to further reinforce its unique appeal and to

reach out to a wider audience, it was decided to take one step further and presenting Grand Seiko as an entirely separate brand.
