Citizen were established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen "so that it would be close to the hearts of people everywhere" and soon after adopted the company's formal name "Citizen Watch Company".

During the last 75 years, Citizen have expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as a global brand. The last 25 year period has seen Citizen expand rapidly to become the worlds largest manufacturer of watches, a distinction held since 1986.

Beyond size, Citizen is recognised as a world leader in technology within its field, from the slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the worlds first professional divers watch with an electronic depth sensor. Citizen's record of world firsts is unmatched.

Most recently Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in alternative energy timekeeping with its Eco-Drive collection of light powered watches. With over 80 models ranging from dress models to sports models, Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of light for a lifetime of use and they never need a battery. Maintenance timekeeping has arrived and Citizen is leading the charge.
