Seiko’s origins begin with “K.Hattori”: a humble watch shop named after its owner and founded in Japan in 1881. 11 years later, his business expanded to “Seikoha” – a name that was later simply abbreviated to Seiko. The respected stopwatches eventually developed into the first wristwatch to be developed and built in Japan. This first watch – the Laurel – was launched in 1892.
