The Pulsar Story

Back in the '70s, when the whole space age thing was hitting its peak, the Hamilton Watch company came up with a new style of watch. In 1972, they released their first 'Pulsar' watch into the market place. This watch was the first of its kind - electronic quartz with a light emitting diode (LED), digital display and a radically new space-age look. A contemporary press report described the source of the watch name as 'those strange distant spinning stars which send quick and regular radio 'bleeps' from our space.' Sound far-out to you?

Well, not to the general public. Those strange spinning stars inspired an incredible trend. Pulsar watches were a huge hit and to this day the original watches are highly-prized collectors items. In time, the original boom waned; but not before the Pulsar brand name had made an enduring impression worldwide.

In 1979, following a series of changes in brand ownership, Pulsar watches with new looks and new features were introduced to the United States market by SEIKO Corporation of America. This series was the first full line of all-quartz men's and ladies' wrist watches.

The brand was a huge success and in 1980, Pulsar was launched in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and other important European markets. The brand grew rapidly, as it did in the United States. Today, Pulsar is a major brand in all European countries, as well as in Australia, Canada, Africa and Israel.
