Citizen Watches
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a celebrated Japanese maker of clockworks and watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch called 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 find a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still nowadays the notion behind wrist watches built by Citizen.
