Citizen Watches
June 26th, 2009“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a best-known Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been in the first place chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business organization was built in 1924 when the first product, a small pocket watch called 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 tried to get a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still today the idea behind wrist watches made by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive – Models reaching from dress to athletics
For instance the first Japanese wrist watch having a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen built the debut quartz wrist watches with LCD display and after that also the smallest LCD 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 firm was an outrider in producing dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the included bathometer – no one else was able to offer a similar great function. Additional, Citizen is famous 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 a collection for everybody and every occasion. Find out more about Citizen watches
