With more than 100 years of horological expertise, Japanese master watchmaker Seiko certainly deserves its prestigious spot in the watchmaking industry.
Seiko watches have been delighting women for decades, so much so that Seiko is almost always every girl’s first watch. Stylish, affordable and with an excellent timekeeping reputation, Seiko watches never fail to impress — whether quartz or mechanical.
Seiko’s history dates back to 1881 when Kintarō Hattori founded the brand in Tokyo, Japan, at a young age of 21. The founder’s fascination with clocks and watches started at 13 when he worked in a clock shop to learn everything he could about watches. At such a young age, the enterprising boy decided he wanted to open a clock shop that will not only sell clocks but also repair them. More than 130 years later, his legacy still lives on.
Here are our top 10 picks for the trendiest ladies’ Seiko watches to help you up your fashion game.
