“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a legendary Japanese producer of clockworks and watches based in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been in the first place chartered as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The business 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 founding fathers once have been chosen the name Citizen because they attempted to get a direct way to the peoples heart. This is still nowadays the idea behind watches built by Citizen.
