Citizen Watches
June 30th, 2009
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a legendary Japanese maker of clockworks and watches placed in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business 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 chosen the name Citizen because they tried to get a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still nowadays the idea behind wrist watches made by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive - Models reaching from dress to athletics
For instance the first Japanese watch including a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen built the debut quartz watches with LCD display and after that also the thinnest LCD wristwatch 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. Beyond that the company was an outrider in developing dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the included bathometer - no one else was able to offer a similar specific 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 provides a collection for everybody and every occasion. Find out more about Citizen watches
