The Citizen Watch Brand
Originally founded as Shokosha Watch Research Institute in 1918 the Citizen watch collection was born in 1924 when the company created their first pocket watch. The name "Citizen" was bestowed by the then Tokyo Mayor, Shimpei Goto.
Many more innovations would follow. Citizen is now famous for its Eco-Drive collection. These light-powered watches use a battery recharged by a solar panel housed under the watch face. There was also an Eco-Drive Thermo model that used the temperature difference between the wearer's skin and ambient temperature to charge the battery. The only Eco-Drive system currently shown on the Citizen Watch web site depends solely on light to recharge. All Citizen Eco-Drive models are made in Japan.
The Skyhawk collection can synchronize with atomic clocks in Japan, North America, and Europe and will choose the correct frequency for doing so based on the location of home time zone. The watch actually tracks two time zones, home and world, but synchronizes to the 'home' zone. When traveling, the wearer can swap the 'home' and 'world' zones and enable correct time signal reception on a different continent while retaining the home time. Day, date, and Daylight Saving Time settings are also set automatically when the watch is synchronized.
