Seiko Watches advert from the 1980s.
The company started in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called “K. Hattori” (服部時計店, Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎, Seikōsha?). According to Seiko’s official company history, titled “A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko” (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning “exquisite,” “minute,” or “success.” (The meaning “exquisite” is usually written 精巧, while the meaning “success” is usually written 成功.)
