Citizen Wristwatches
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a best-known Japanese maker of clockworks and watches placed in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been in the first place chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch called Citizen, was placed on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founding fathers once have been selected the name Citizen because they attempted to get a direct way to the peoples emotions. 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 debut Japanese wristwatch having a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen developed the first quartz watches with LCD display and after that also the smallest LCD wrist watch 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. More than that that the firm 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 uncommon function. Additional, Citizen is well-known for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered wrist watches. Fuelled just by light, it doesn’t require any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen provides a collection for everybody and every occasion.
