Seiko Watches for Men

From LoveToKnow Watches

In Tokyo, in 1881, a Japanese man by the name of Kintaro Hattori opened a small clock shop named Seikosha. This small effort laid the foundation for modern watch and clock making throughout Japan. By 1982, Hattori had established a small workforce of ten employees, and began to expand his business. By 1913, Seikosha had all but mastered clock technology. It was this time that Hattori began production on “Laurel”, the first wristwatch ever produced in Japan. The company continues upward and onward, changing it’s name to Seiko in 1924. Today, Seiko stands as one of the world’s premier watch makers.

Seiko offers five product lines to choose from. Two of these lines - Vivace and Rivoli - are geared towards women. Seiko also employs kinetic technology in which a tiny electric generator in the watch is powered by wrist movement, eliminating the need for any sort of conventional battery.

Premier

The Premier line offers five different models, each coming in a variety of colors and styles. The newest and most impressive addition to the Premier line is the Kinetic Perpetual, which makes use of Seiko’s new kinetic power method. The Kinetic Perpetual boasts a calendar, which is guaranteed accurate until the year 2100, hence the name “Perpetual.” It also utilizes a new “sleep” feature. After the watch is not worn for an extended period of time, the watch will shut down. Once worn again (within four years), the watch will re-activate and adjust the time accordingly. The Premier line offers four more models, each crafted to display a classic, yet modernized style.
