Shinji Hattori
Chairman, CEO, and CCO
Seiko Watch Corporation

Ever since its beginnings in 1881, Seiko has pursued a path of innovation true to our founder Kintaro Hattori's philosophy to be "Always one step ahead of the rest."

For over 140 years, our history has been shaped by innovations in the field of horology. Seiko revolutionized the industry forever with the world’s first quartz watch, and pioneered other world firsts, such as Spring Drive and the GPS Solar watch, continually shaping the future of timekeeping. Every Seiko creation, crafted with passion and world-class technology, is a milestone on our journey.

At Seiko, we regard watchmaking as a solution to challenges—creating what never before existed and making possible what was once deemed impossible. We are driven by an enduring spirit to persevere in the face of challenges, which has been passed down to us from the days of our founding. Continuing on this mission and carrying this spirit forward to the next generation is our solemn pledge.

We remain committed to the constant pursuit of innovation, inspiring trust and delight, enriching society, and creating a future filled with smiles.
"Moving Ahead. Touching Hearts."
