“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a legendary Japanese producer of clockworks and watches placed in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch named Citizen, was positioned 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 find a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still nowadays the idea behind 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 launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen developed the debut quartz watches with LCD display and after that also the smallest LCD wristwatch 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 concern 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 unique function. Additional, Citizen is famous 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 offers a collection for everybody and every occasion. Find out more about Citizen watches
