Corporate Message

Since its founding in 1881, Seiko has introduced one revolutionary product after another. After accumulating experience manufacturing a wide range of timepieces starting with wall and table clocks, then pocket watches, Seiko introduced Japan’s first wristwatch in 1913. Continuing its pursuit of accuracy and quality, it became an industry pioneer with the launch of a quartz watch in 1969, which gained wide spread popularity around the world and made it possible for anyone to easily know the correct time. Seiko has continued to innovate the timepiece industry with creations like Kinetic, which is powered by the wearer's own body movements, and Spring Drive, which features quartz accuracy without any battery. Seiko is also introducing landmark products in such diverse fields as optical lenses and camera shutters.

The firms within the consolidated entity are now engaged in a variety of operations that include watches, electronic devices, semiconductors, eyewear, clocks and other products.

Seiko’s fundamental concept of group management is to be “a company that is trusted by society”, and our commitment is to deliver “reliable quality”-- reassurance and satisfaction -- to our customers.
