Seiko QXE114 ZLH Mantel Clock

Story

Seiko revolutionized timekeeping in 1969 with the first quartz watch, and this clock carries that DNA. It was designed to bring the dignity of a grandfather clock to the modern bookshelf or desk without the need for winding.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1881 by Kintarō Hattori in Tokyo, Seiko began as a watch and clock repair shop. They eventually became a global powerhouse, famously serving as the official timekeeper for multiple Olympic Games and pioneering the quartz movement.

Condition & Value

The wooden case shows some visible wear and chipping along the bottom front edge. The battery compartment is missing its cover, which is a common issue that slightly reduces the value. Condition reduces value by roughly 30%. Value is driven by the Seiko brand reputation for reliability.
