Citizen Wristwatches
“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famed Japanese maker of clockworks and watches placed in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily founded 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 company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been chosen the name Citizen because they attempted to find a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still today the idea behind watches built by Citizen.
