Our beginnings go back to
1924, when Citizen's forerunner, the Shokosha Watch Research
Watch Institute produced its first pocket watch the
"CITIZEN". The then Mayor of Tokyo, Mr Shimpei Goto, named
the watch "CITIZEN" with the hope that the watch, a luxury
item of those times, would become widely available to
ordinary citizens and be sold throughout the world. Time and
again Citizen has pioneered groundbreaking technologies and
helped to make watches an indispensable part of modern life.
Introduced in 1956, Parashock was the first shock resistant
watch made by a Japanese manufacturer. And three years
later, Parawater was hailed as the country's first water
resistant watch. |
