Watches marked with a "lightning" bolt were produced by SEIKO's "Daini Seikosha" (Second Seiko Factory); watches marked with a "whirlpool" were produced by SEIKO's "Suwa Seikosha". In 1881, Mr. Kintaro Hattori established "K Hattori" Hattori Clock Shop in Higashi-Kyobashi, Tokyo, primarily for clock repair and the sale of used clocks. In 1892, Mr. Hattori acquired a closed glass factory in Tokyo and founded Seikosha, focusing on clock manufacturing. In 1913, Seikosha officially produced its first wristwatch, the Laurel. In 1937, SEIKO established Daini Seikosha in Kameido, Tokyo, specializing in the research, development, and production of wristwatches. In 1959, the Suwa factory of Daini Seikosha and Daiwa Kogyo officially merged, establishing Suwa Seikosha as an independent entity. From then on, these two major SEIKO factories created one classic after another.
