If you've got the money, honey, Seiko Epson has the time -- and the printer, computer, corrective lenses, and whatnot. Seiko Epson (also called Epson) is one of the two manufacturing arms of Seiko Group (Seiko Instruments is the other). Although known for its watches, Seiko Epson also makes products such as desktop and portable computers; electronic devices and components including semiconductors and LCDs; and corrective lenses, motors, magnets, and quartz timing devices. Seiko Epson is one of the world's top printer makers (second behind Hewlett-Packard), with about a fifth of the market. Heirs of Seiko's founder, including Seiko Epson chairman Reijiro Hattori and VC Yasuo Hattori, control the company.
