There are a variety of different companies that make watches and timepieces today but there are not many that have been around as long as the Citizen Watch Company. Furthermore, there are only a handful of companies that have stayed true to their principles when it comes to the quality of the products that they were founded upon. The Citizen Watch Company is the exception to the rule when it comes to the watch industry and they have yet to succumb to the almighty dollar and reduce the quality. This is why they are now the largest maker of watches and timepieces in the world with a presence in every major country. The uncompromising quality and style of the Citizen Watch has made this so.

The first Citizen Watch was created in 1924 using a new type of expertise to make it the smallest and thinnest of the time. It is very hard to distinguish this timepiece against the watches that are manufactured today but anybody with a little knowledge can easily identify the craftsmanship of the piece and know that it is a Citizen Watch. This was the springboard for the piece and it went all uphill from there.

The actual Citizen Watch Company was established six years later in 1930 and was an instant success. This was due in part to the founders necessity to bring better and brighter things to the market as soon as possible. Unlike a lot of companies that will hold off on new technology so they do not hurt their current market, the Citizen Watch Company launched the many products that it developed from the start and made a big splash in the world.

The Citizen Watch Company now employs more than 3,000 people all over the world. Based in Japan, they are the first company to make some of the finest innovations in the world and still sustain a market presence in the standard watches that they manufactured as well. This is something that the other companies were having a lot of trouble with and making a lot of enemies along the way was a daily event for this company.

The Citizen Watch Company was the sole responsible party for the first shock resistant watch to ever be produced. This was a big deal for the many hard working people in the world who were tired of having to take their watch in for repair because of shock problems.

Citizen also made its mark on the diving world with the first professional dive watch that features an electronic depth sensor. This enhancement on the old design of diving watch has forever endeared the company to the many diving enthusiasts around the world.

They were also responsible for the first Analog Quartz watch to be manufactured which single handedly changed the way the world told time. Today the Citizen Watch Company has taken the watch making world to a whole new level with Eco Drive System. Tapping into the resource of being environmentally friendly, the Eco Drive System employs a hidden solar cell that is embedded into the works. This cell gathers power from the sun and artificial light sources and turns it into energy to power the watch. By far this is the most popular watch to be found today and it has more benefits for the environment. No longer do you need to go to the store to purchase a new battery and worry about the old one polluting the ground in a land fill somewhere.
All in all the Citizen Watch Company has been responsible for some of the best things to happen in watches and timepieces for the past many years. Today they are still one of the most admired watch brands in the world and make up a large share of the market with the newest products that can be found almost anywhere.
