The degree of technology development in Japan is striking in its inaccessibility and constant improvement. Manufacturers of Japanese wrist watches surpass all others not only in power and innovative approach, but also in a special design that has futuristic and classic features at the same time. The Japanese brand Seiko has been producing accessories with a powerful mechanism for over 100 years, and the brand's women's wristwatches are an example of sophistication.

Brand history
In 1881, a watchmaker from Japan, Kintaro Hattori, decided to open a small workshop for the manufacture and repair of watch mechanisms in one of the small districts of Tokyo.... Initially, the workshop specialized in wall clocks, but with the development and gaining popularity among people, Hattori began to create his first pocket copies. In 1892, the workshop was transformed into a full-fledged company Seikosha, which is translated from Japanese as "exact".
Kintaro and ten watchmakers working at his factory did not plan to stop there, the brand continued to develop and powerful and reliable chronometers for wearing on the wrist were created within the walls of the company. It was a real breakthrough that turned a small business of one Japanese master into a real strong corporation.

In 1913, the wristwatch model was introduced in Japan as Laurel. Watch received many positive reviews and first expressions of general interest in the Japanese brand.
In 1929, the company became the representative of the Japan National Railway, the so-called "railway clock". Nowadays, pocket chronometers are still installed on the dashboards of Japanese locomotives, thereby maintaining the established tradition.
In 1960, the Grand Seiko wrist chronometers were released with high precision. They won the championship among luxury watches in Japan, beating many chronometers from Swiss manufacturers in terms of technical indicators.

Continuing to rapidly break out into the leaders of the watch market, in 1964 the company released a quartz portable chronograph and received the status of the official timekeeper at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. After that, the whole world learned about Seiko watches.
The creator of the company has always strived for leadership, confidently leading his brand to success. Using only the latest technologies, Hattori managed to gain a foothold at the top of the innovative Olympus and remain one of the most progressive companies from the moment of creation to the present day.

Features and Benefits
A particular advantage that Seiko watches have is the increased service life of the movement. It is enlarged using automatic power generation technology. This technology is used in the creation of quartz watches and consists in getting rid of the mechanism from unnecessary friction and rotation.

The fewer moving contacting parts, the longer the mechanism will last. A kind of transformation of kinetic energy into electrical energy. That is why the high cost of Japanese watches is fully justified - they will last for many years, unlike other mechanisms that break much faster.
It should be noted that the manufacture and disposal of Seiko products is not harmful to the environment, and the company maintains a strategy of caring for the environment. This has a beneficial effect on the company's image.

Technologies
Throughout its history, Seiko has repeatedly proven its right to be called innovators and creators of many technologies that have not been used before in any field.
In 1988, the Kinetic quartz movement was developed, capable of automatically generating energy. After the introduction of this technology, the Swiss colleagues adopted the Japanese experience, but Seiko went even further and improved the Kinetic, providing the models with an accuracy of 5 seconds and a calendar.
Also among the innovations should be noted the presentation to a wide range of buyers of quartz watches with an LCD screen, the first movements with support for multitasking, watches for submersion under water with a water resistance of up to 600 meters and watches that can be charged with solar energy.
