 PROFILE
With thousands of styles of watches, Seiko Corporation keeps a lot of time. Seiko markets watches such as the Kinetic series -- in which movement of the owner's wrist generates the watch's power -- and the Ruputer -- which incorporates PC features. Luxury watch brands include Credor and Lassale; mass-market brands include Pulsar, Lorus, and Alba. It also markets alarm clocks, large-scale public clocks, golf clubs, jewelry, and other consumer products. The company markets the watches made by other Seiko companies, including luxury watches made by Seiko Epson (which also makes printers and LCDs) and mass-market watches made by Seiko Instruments. The Hattori family controls Seiko.
