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