“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famed Japanese producer of clockworks and wrist watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly founded 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 firm assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founders once have been selected the name Citizen because they tried to find a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still today the idea behind wrist watches made by Citizen.
