Citizen Watch, A Century Of Global Vision

In 1924, Citizen introduced its first timepiece, a pocket watch from the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, aimed at developing essential watchmaking skills for the Japanese market. The name "Citizen," suggested by the mayor of Tokyo, symbolized the hope that watches, then a luxury, would one day be accessible to all Japanese citizens and beyond. Over the past century, Citizen has relentlessly pursued its goal of creating watches that provide genuine value to wearers. Today, Citizen stands as one of the world's largest watchmakers, offering an unparalleled range of wristwatches in design and technical innovation. The company's history reflects the evolution of watchmaking through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. A pioneer in using titanium, Citizen has introduced numerous advancements, from creating ultra-thin watches in the 1960s and launching the Promaster line of professional diving and pilot watches in the 1970s to developing Eco-Drive technology and the Caliber 0100, which boasts accuracy to within one second per year.
