Citizen Computer Co. Ltd
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famed Japanese producer of clockworks and wrist watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been in the first place chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The company was built in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch called Citizen, was placed 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 nowadays the idea behind watches made by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive – Models reaching from dress to athletics
For instance the first Japanese watch having a wake-up-function was launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen developed the first quartz watches with LCD display and later also the thinnest LCD watch of all time. 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 company was an outrider in producing dive watches for professional use. A highlight was the included bathometer – no one else was able to offer a similar special 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 offers a collection for everybody and every occasion.
