Citizen Computer Co. Ltd
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a well-known Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch named Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the firm assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been chosen the name Citizen because they attempted to get a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still today the idea behind wrist watches built by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive – Models reaching from dress to athletics
For Example the first Japanese watch including a wake-up-function was established by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen developed the first quartz 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. Beyond 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 uncommon function. Additional, Citizen is famous for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered wrist watches. Fuelled only by light, it doesn’t need any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen provides a collection for everybody and every occasion.
