In 1924, Citizen management completed the first Citizen watch to create a domestic pocket watch. The origin of the name “CITIZEN” means “citizen” as long and widely loved by citizens. The photovoltaic technology "Eco-Drive" was developed ahead of the rest of the world. Citizen watch celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2018. Citizen's mission is to open up the future of watches. And Citizen's belief, Better Starts Now, means, "At any time, we can always do something better as long as we act with the start of the now."
