A perpetual calendar watch is a highly complex complication that displays the day, date, and month, and automatically accounts for leap years and the varying lengths of months, without requiring manual adjustment for decades. It's essentially a calendar on a watch that is designed to work indefinitely without the need for intervention. 
 
In the watch world, Seiko is a well-liked brand, and for good reasons too. The word "Seiko" means "exquisite" in Japanese, which accurately describes how their products are manufactured. Seiko is a pioneer in the watch industry, and their timepieces are known for their dependability, sturdiness, and fine craftsmanship.

SEIKO:
The history of Seiko begins in 1881, when businessman Kintaro Hattori, then age 22, founded the company. He started out by importing Swiss watches and his store swiftly expanded. Hattori then started making clocks under the brand name "Seikosha," which was ultimately abbreviated to "Seiko." 
In the late 1960s, Seiko became the first business to create a quartz-powered watch which they called the "Astron."
Many Seiko watch owners have experienced the longevity firsthand, with their timepieces lasting years if not decades. Some of these watches even become cherished heirlooms, passed down through generations with great sentimental value even if the watch itself did not cost as much as its Swiss counterparts.
