Citizen - Famous Company with Innovative Products
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a celebrated Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The company was built in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch named Citizen, was placed on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founding fathers once have been chosen the name Citizen because they tried to get a direct way to the peoples spirit. This is still nowadays the notion behind wrist watches constructed by Citizen.

In the 1970ties Citizen built the first quartz wrist watches with LCD display and later also the thinnest LCD wrist watch ever. 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.
