“Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.” is a famous Japanese maker of clockworks and watches located 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 tiny pocket watch named Citizen, was placed 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 attempted to find a direct way to the peoples heart. This is still nowadays the notion behind wrist watches constructed by Citizen.
