Citizen Watches
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famed Japanese maker of clockworks and watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly 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 called Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been selected the name Citizen because they attempted to get a direct way to the peoples spirit. This is still today the notion behind wrist watches built by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive - Models reaching from dress to athletics
For instance the first Japanese wrist watch including a wake-up-function was launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen built the debut quartz watches with LCD display and later also the smallest LCD wrist watch ever. In the early 1990ties Citizen started 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 concern was an outrider in developing dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the embedded bathometer - no one else was able to offer a similar special function. Additional, Citizen is well-known for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered wrist watches. Fuelled only by light, it doesn’t require any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen offers an assortment for everybody and every occasion. Find out more about Citizen watches
