This year, library visitors enjoyed our exhibit "The Evolution of Seiko and Grand Seiko," featuring Japanese timekeepers from 19th-century wadokei through to Seiko's 21st-century wristwatches (see the cover from our exhibit catalog, image 3). link Some of these have never been exhibited outside Japan. The Seiko Quartz Astron 35SQ (the first quartz watch) and the Grand Seiko 3180 (the first Grand Seiko) were particular favorites with our visitors.
