Citizen Watches
30 June 2009“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a well-known Japanese manufacturer of clockworks and wrist watches located in Tokyo (Japan). Citizen has been primarily founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in the year 1918. The company was established in 1924 when the first product, a little pocket watch called Citizen, was positioned on the market. In 1930 the company assumed the name Citizen Watch Company, too.
