It is widely said, in collector circles, that Seiko is traditionally considered #1 [Ichi Ban] in Japanese watch production (at least for the 1955-to-Present time period), Citizen 2nd, and Orient 3rd [which, by default, leaves "Ricoh" 4th]. Is this indeed true?



In a research paper, "The Watch Industries in Switzerland, Japan, and the United States" from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Japanese watch production figures in 1970 are shown as follows:



Company / Est. Share of Japanese Production :



K. Hattori = 60%

Citizen = 28%

Orient = 9%

Ricoh = 3%



So indeed, it appears that the conventional wisdom of the Japanese watch forums is true, at least during that time period! Remember that "Hattori" was the name of the actual corporation that produced the brand, Seiko!
