Seiko Quartz SilverWave 8229-7000 from 1979
"Seiko's story begins in 1881 when a young 22-year-old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opens his clock repair workshop in Tokyo. 11 years later, in 1892, he founds the "Seikosha" manufacture and produces his first clock, and in 1895, his first watch. Today, after 130 years of innovation, the watchmaking manufacture remains faithful to its founder's commitment: the pursuit of perfection" - Les Rhabilleurs
