Seiko Institute of Horology / Automatic
The Seiko Institute of Horology (now The Seiko Museum) was opened in 1981 as part of a project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Seiko. The museum displays research materials related to time and timepieces produced in Japan and other countries around the world.

After the war, together with the restoration of Japan, the country also drew itself away from imitation of foreign goods, and from the latter half of the 1950s, the Japanese clock and watch industry accomplished major progress. At Seiko, Japan's first automatic winding mechanical watch, the Automatic, was debuted on the market.
