Citizenshop - Citizen Watches

Citizen Watches was founded in 1924, and was so named by its founding father so it would be "Close to the hearts of People Everywhere." In 1924, Citizen�s forerunner, the Shokosha Watch Research Watch Institute produced its first pocket watch the "CITIZEN".

The then Mayor of Tokyo, Mr Shimpei Goto, named the watch "CITIZEN" with the hope that the watch, a luxury item of those times, would become widely available to ordinary citizens and be sold throughout the world.

The Citizen Watch Company, Ltd. was established in 1930.Citizen is the world�s largest watch company. More people depend on a watch made by Citizen than other timepiece. Citizen produced 292 million timepieces in 1999, about 24% of the world total.

Citizen has played a leading role in the international watch market for years and has set the standards for watch movements. The Japanese manufacturer has also been able to repeatedly develop pioneering technologies that take their power from natural energy sources.

One of these innovative energy solutions is called Eco-Drive and is already to be found in many Citizen watches.

Through the use of highly sensitive photocells, even the weak light from candles can be converted into electrical energy to power the movement.

The excess energy is automatically saved in storage cells and these watches can continue to keep time even after they have been in the dark for months.

Another advantage of the Eco-Drive models is that no battery change is necessary. This not only saves money but also helps protect our environment.

Besides innovative technology, the Citizen Watches are characterised by a high-quality finish, superior materials and an attractive design.

About 300 engineers and scientists, as well as dozens of designers work on the development of new watches at the Citizen research centres. Citizen has repeatedly set new standards in the watch market.

Since its beginnings Citizen has consistently drawn on its leadership in watch technologies to create new possibilities in information and electric equipment, precision parts and industrial machinery.

At the same time, Citizen is moving beyond the conventional thinking about watch engineering in its pursuit of "Beyond Watch Technology." Citizen Watches is recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology in the watch industry.
