You should aspire without limits and move forward step by step, neither stopping nor hurrying......Kintarō Hattori

  Kintarō Hattori was  a Japanese businessman and one of the first and most important Japanese watchmakers in history, as well as the founder of Seiko, one of the world's hugest manufacturers of watches. He was a permanent council member of the Japanese Red Cross. In 1881, Hattori established his first business "K. Hattori & Co.", opening his own watchmaking shop. At 25 years old, K. Hattori initiated trade with the Swiss firms based in Yokohama, emphasizing on wholesaling and retailing of imported Swiss timepieces. After almost two decades of retailing Swiss watches from foreign firms, Hattori decided to manufacture his own watches locally, establishing a watchmaking factory in Tokyo called "Seikosha". Following the great success of his first Japanese manufactured timepieces, he traveled to Europe to inspect and buy machinery tools to keep up with western technology and productivity. With great success, Hattori returned to Japan with new watchmaking equipment and several new production lines were born as a consequence. At age 35, he launched a line of pocket watches called the "Timekeeper" and just a few years later released his first line of alarm clocks, in year 1899. By year 1905, Hattori had expanded his trading operations all over Japan as well as Shanghai and Hong Kong, and becoming the largest watch and clock dealer in Japan. In 1913, when Hattori was 53 years old, Seikosha manufactured and introduced the first Japanese wristwatch: the "Laurel." In year 1917, K. Hattori & Co. was converted to a joint-stock corporation "K. Hattori & Co., Ltd." (currently Seiko Group Corporation). In year 1924, the "Seiko" brand was launched. His company later revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the first quartz movement, becoming one of the world's largest watch manufacturers. Hattori died on year 1934, aged 73, in Tokyo, Japan. Kintarō Hattori was one of the key figures in establishing the watchmaking industry in Japan. His career accomplishments include founding the first watchmaking factory in Japan named "Seikosha", in year 1892. Kintarō Hattori also founded the watch and jewelry shop K. Hattori in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan, currently named Seiko Group Corporation and globally known as Seiko.

  This quote is superb. It teaches me to move on without limit, because there is a saying goes, the sky is the limit. Forget to tell you that I received Seiko watch as my birthday gift last year. That day, it was also the day of my middle school exam results day. The gift is served as a "reward" for my exam results with flying colours, besides birthday gift. It encourages me to go ahead for benefits. I really fancy of this gift..........................
