The chronograph

A chronograph is a stopwatch built into the watch. On most models one pusher starts and stops it and another sets it back to zero, while the time of day runs on regardless. The counters on the dial add up the elapsed minutes and, on many models, the hours.

III · The manufacture

Seiko since 1881

Kintaro Hattori opened his watch and clock shop in Tokyo in 1881. The Seikosha factory followed in 1892, beginning with wall clocks. The Laurel wristwatch of 1913 moved that manufacturing experience onto the wrist. In 1924, a wristwatch carried the Seiko name for the first time. The Quartz Astron introduced quartz regulation to the range in 1969. Spring Drive arrived in 1999, combining mainspring power with electronic regulation. The Astron GPS Solar of 2012 added satellite time reception to solar power. Today Seiko Watch Corporation develops and manufactures watches within Seiko Group, based in Japan.

IV · Ownership

Wearing and caring

  1. 1

    An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.

  2. 2

    Water resistance of 100 m and more is for swimming. Keep the crown screwed or pushed in, and do not use the pushers under water.

  3. 3

    Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
