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