Why I like Citizen Wrist Watches
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famed Japanese producer 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 company was built in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch named Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been chosen the name Citizen because they tried to get a direct way to the peoples heart. This is still nowadays the notion behind watches built by Citizen.
First watch with Eco-Drive – Models reaching from dress to athletics
For Example the first Japanese wristwatch including a wake-up-function was launched by Citizen in 1958. In the 1970ties Citizen originated the first quartz watches with LCD display and afterwards also the thinnest 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 firm 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 unique function. Additional, Citizen is famous for its Eco-Drive collection of light powered wrist watches. Fuelled just by light, it doesn’t need any batteries. Designs reaching from dress to athletics (e.g. professional dive watches), Citizen has a collection for everybody and every occasion.
