“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famed Japanese producer of clockworks and watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The company 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 tried to get a direct way to the peoples heart. This is still today the idea behind watches constructed by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive - Models reaching from dress to athletics
For instance the first Japanese wrist watch including a wake-up-function was launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen originated the first quartz wrist watches with LCD display and afterwards also the smallest 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. More than that that the company was an outrider in evolving dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the included bathometer - no one else was able to offer a similar special function.
