My Favorite Watch Is a Citizen Watch

Posted on Monday 10 August 2009

“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a best-known Japanese maker of clockworks and wrist watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The company was built 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 selected the name Citizen because they attempted to get a direct way to the peoples heart. This is still today the notion behind watches constructed by Citizen.

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


For Example the debut Japanese wrist watch including a wake-up-function was launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen built the first quartz wrist watches with LCD display and afterwards also the slightest LCD 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 producing 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 celebrated for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered wrist watches. Fuelled simply by light, it doesn’t need any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen has a collection for everybody and every occasion.
