Pulsar, a division of Seiko watch Corporation of America (SCA), is among the leading watch brands worldwide. In 1972, the first Pulsar watch was made public by the Hamilton Watch Company. The expertise and novelty, through which it was created, mesmerized some contemporary press reports to shower a huge amount of praise on it. The world's first electronic digital watch, created a sensation when it was unveiled in New York in 1972 and it changed the world's perception of time. At the time, it was the first of its kind incorporating digital display and electronic quartz. In fact the $2,100 limited edition 18K gold P1 watch, designed by the late Jean Wuischpard, is one of only a few watches on display in the museum at the smithsonian institute in Washington, D.C.
When the brand was taken into the Seiko Corporation stable in 1980, the move became a huge sensation and brought eminence to the brand. It brought further surprises to the world, the first calculator watch in 1980 and the first all-quartz watch line in 1981 were among its industry-leading achievements. And throughout the '80's and 90's Pulsar continued to bring to market new products that were born to be different. The Avant-garde collection in 1980's set a new style in women's watches and Spoon in 1990's were unique designs which further cemented Pulsar's image as an ingenious and surprising watchmaker. To replicate the accomplishment of the U.S. market, in the 1980s, the Pulsar brand was rolled out in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, and other European markets.
Even after more than 30 years, Pulsar continues its tradition of technological fineness and exceptional design. From the time of its market entry, it has maintained its cutting edge of approach and expertise. Right throughout in its stupendous journey, the company built nearly each and every Pulsar watch to match the topmost values of quality.
Towards a Modernist Future Today, Pulsar remains loyal to its heritage. It was born to be different and it will remain so. Each Pulsar watch has the hint of the futurism and modernity that have always been its hallmark. Pulsar is a brand for the individual who appreciates real value and seeks quality with individuality and flair.
Many of the watches feature the same "Hardlex" crystal found in the more expensive Seiko watches.
