“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a celebrated Japanese maker of clockworks and watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been mainly chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The concern was established in 1924 when the first product, a small pocket watch named Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too. The founding fathers once have been chosen the name Citizen because they tried to find a direct way to the peoples emotions. This is still nowadays the notion behind watches constructed by Citizen.
