K. Hattori & Co., Ltd.

In 1881 Kintaro Hattori was founded as watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori". He built the base of the Japanese watch industry and is also called "King of Timepieces in Japan".
Seiko continues to send the first watch of the world one after another, such as the quartz wristwatch(1969), the 6-digit display digital wristwatch(1973), the spring drive wristwatch(1999).
Besides that, on August 28, 1953, they televised Japan's first television commercial (the time signal of the noon).

"Merchants must stay a step ahead of the rest, but just one step. If they stay too many steps ahead they will be seen as prophets, too far removed from reality. Merchants should not be prophets."

「すべて商人は、世間より一歩先に進む必要がある。ただし、ただ一歩だけでよい。何歩も先に進みすぎると、世間とあまり離れて予言者に近くなってしまう。商人が予言者になってしまってはいけない。」
