 PROFILE
Seiko Corporation of America keeps US time for Japan's Seiko Corporation, one of the world's largest watchmakers. Seiko Corporation of America, one of more than 60 Seiko subsidiaries and affiliates across the world, markets watches and clocks under brands such as Pulsar, and Seiko. Watches in Seiko's Kinetic series are powered by wrist movement rather than batteries; if the watch is set aside, a chip stores the time for up to four years. The company is reintroducing its Lassale dress line of watches to emphasize the Seiko brand more as a fashion accessory. Seiko Corporation of America was formed in 1970; its parent will be the official timekeeper for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
