A BRIEF HISTORY OF RICOH

The Ricoh Watch Company, a subsidiary of the larger Ricoh Corporation, was established in the mid-20th century, likely during the 1960s. While Ricoh is better known for its imaging and electronics products, the company ventured into watchmaking during this period, capitalizing on the growing popularity of wristwatches.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Ricoh produced a range of wristwatches, primarily targeting the mass market. These watches featured designs typical of the era, often incorporating elements of modernist and futuristic styling. Ricoh watches were recognized for their quality craftsmanship and accurate timekeeping, earning them a reputation among consumers.

Despite its relatively brief presence in the watch market, Ricoh watches remain of interest to collectors of vintage timepieces. Their distinctive designs and historical significance as part of Ricoh’s product portfolio during the mid-20th century make them sought after by enthusiasts looking to explore the diverse landscape of vintage watchmaking.
