“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a legendary Japanese maker of clockworks and wrist watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch named Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the firm assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been chosen the name Citizen because they tried to get a direct way to the peoples spirit. This is still today the idea behind wrist watches constructed by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive – Models reaching from dress to athletics
For Example the first Japanese wrist watch having a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen built the debut quartz watches with LCD display and afterwards also the slightest LCD wrist watch ever. In the early 1990ties Citizen originated the premier series production of watchcases consisting of titanium. In addition to that, they designed the leadoff voice recognition watch which was another big milestone in their history. More than that that the company was an outrider in evolving dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the embedded bathometer – no one else was able to offer a similar great function. Additional, Citizen is celebrated for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered wrist watches. Fuelled only by light, it doesn’t need any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen has a collection for everybody and every occasion.
