Citizen Watches
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a best-known Japanese producer of clockworks and watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been in the first place chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a tiny pocket watch named Citizen, was placed on the market. In 1930 the firm assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founding fathers once have been selected the name Citizen because they tried to find a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still today the notion behind wrist watches made by Citizen.

In the 1970ties Citizen built the first quartz wrist watches with LCD display and afterwards also the smallest 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.
