Japan-based Seiko, which translates variously as “exquisite,” “minute,” or “success” in English, has been producing wristwatches since 1924. Today Seiko is one of the most worn watch brands in the world.
Seiko has continually been at the forefront of watchmaking technologies. It manufactured the first digital display watch, the first watch with the ability to record sound, and it even made a watch with a television in it. All are collectible, as are the company’s more traditional prewar models and its fashion watches from the 1970s and ’80s.
