My Favorite Watch Is a Citizen Watch
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a celebrated Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and wrist watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been in the first place founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The concern was built in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch called Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the firm 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 emotions. This is still today the idea behind wrist watches constructed 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 developed the debut quartz watches with LCD display and afterwards also the thinnest LCD watch ever. In the early 1990ties Citizen started 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 evolving dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the embedded bathometer – no one else was able to offer a similar great function. Additional, Citizen is well-known for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered watches. Fuelled just by light, it doesn’t require any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen offers an assortment for everybody and every occasion.
