Watches By Citizen
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a well-known Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and wrist watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch named Citizen, was placed on the market. In 1930 the firm assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founding fathers once have been chosen the name Citizen because they attempted to find 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 Example the first Japanese watch including a wake-up-function was launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen built the first quartz watches with LCD display and after that also the smallest LCD 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 company 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 specific function. Additional, Citizen is famous for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered watches. Fuelled just by light, it doesn’t need any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen provides an assortment for everybody and every occasion. Find out more about Citizen watches
