In 1881, Kintaro Hattori opened a shop known as "K. Hattori" in Tokyo’s Ginza district,
beginning what would evolve into today’s Seiko. Guided by a philosophy to be “Always one
step ahead of the rest,” he went on to produce Japan’s first wristwatch in 1913.
Distinct designs in blue as a unifying accent pay tribute to Seiko Blue.
