Seiko's Business

Watches are not all Seiko provides.

Watches are not all that Seiko has to offer society. Our business activities also include the provision of devices solutions and system solutions as well as the operation of a retail business.

Emotional Value Solutions Domain

We create aesthetically pleasing watches, clocks, and other products that are highly functional, impress customers with their attention to detail, and produce both emotional and social value.
We enhance our brand value and corporate value by providing a superior customer experience. We offer products that become an integral part of people’s daily lives, sharing their joyous moments, and becoming part of their fondest memories.

Watches

In keeping with our founder's credo to be "Always one step ahead of the rest," we have grown our watch business by combining original, advanced technologies and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. We are proud to be one of the few watchmakers in the world that integrates all the steps involved in watch creation — from initial design to parts manufacture, assembly, and adjustment, we do everything in-house. Handling every step of the process allows us to ensure the very highest quality possible.
Our core products are the five global brands: Grand Seiko, which pursues the supreme essence of watchmaking, Astron, which embodies Seiko's advanced technology and spirit, Prospex, the extremely popular successor to our first diver's watch, Presage, which expresses the Japanese sense of beauty, and a casual watch brand, Seiko 5 Sports, based on the concept of “five styles” and symbolizing today's world of diverse values.

Devices Solutions Domain

This domain contributes to the realization of a next-generation society that integrates cyber and physical spaces to help solve social issues by providing high-quality, highly functional device solutions born of technological innovation.

Devices Solutions

Using the precise, reliable technologies we created through more than a century of developing world-class timepieces, we are expanding development and production of electronic components and mechanical precision parts for use in a wide variety of products.

Electronic Components

The precision electronic components that emerged from our years-long development of quartz watches are now widely used in smartphones, cars, digital appliances, and industrial equipment. For example, rechargeable batteries and capacitors play a vital role in communications as the backup power supply for the memory and clock functions of digital equipment. Our quartz crystals and quartz oscillator ICs generate reference signals to synchronize multiple electronic components, while our infrared sensor modules are key components in security devices and home appliances as well as in contactless thermometers. All these components were created through our long history of innovation.

Precision Parts & Machines

We supply high-precision parts that are used in components for automobiles, hard disk drives, and miniature ball bearings. The machine tools that we have produced for bearing makers, automotive parts makers, and many other types of manufacturers are proving their worth daily in high-precision manufacturing.

Printing devices

Our thermal printers are compact, extremely quiet, and easy to maintain. Because of these features, they are widely used in devices such as POS cash registers and other kinds of payment terminals, medical equipment, and measuring instruments. Our inkjet printheads are key components of industrial inkjet printers. They contribute greatly to improved productivity and higher-quality printing for products such as advertising billboards, building materials, and textiles, among many others.
