" Never look back, look forward, step forward even if only half a step at a time, knowing how to be flexible in order to accept changes, be sincere "

Kintaro HATTORI - Founder of SEIKO

Since its establishment in 1881, SEIKO CORPORATION has continuously built a reputation for precision, reliability and excellence in advancing technology.

Power supplies for watches have changed over the years, in the beginning we used mainsprings that had to be wound daily, then in 1969 when Seiko produced the very first Quartz watch, the power was supplied by a battery, this is still used by many watches today. In the late 70's solar power was used with tiny solar cells designed into the dial.

Today in a large range of our watches we use Kinetic energy to produce power, this happens when consumers wear a Kinetic watch, as they move a weight inside their watch swings like a pendulum, this turns a magnet which produces an electrical charge, we harness this charge to power the watch, drawing off excess power into a KESU (Kinetic Electricity Storage Unit) for use by the watch when the consumer is at rest.
