“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a celebrated Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business organization was established in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch named Citizen, was placed on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been chosen the name Citizen because they attempted to find a direct way to the peoples heart. This is still nowadays the idea behind watches made by Citizen.

First watch with Eco-Drive - Models reaching from dress to athletics


For Example the debut Japanese watch including a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen developed the debut quartz watches with LCD display and later also the thinnest LCD wristwatch of all time. 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. Beyond that the firm 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 specific function. Additional, Citizen is famous for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered watches. Fuelled simply by light, it doesn’t need any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen provides a collection for everybody and every occasion.
