About Citizen
Citizen traces its origins to the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, established in Tokyo in 1918. The institute completed its first pocket watch in 1924, and the watches were given the name Citizen. Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. was established in May 1930, with Yosaburo Nakajima as its first president. The company is headquartered in Nishitokyo, Tokyo.
In 1976 Citizen introduced the Crystron Solar Cell, described by the company as the first analogue quartz watch powered by a solar cell; its light-powered watches are now sold under the Eco-Drive name.
Citizen also owns other watch companies. Bulova became a subsidiary in 2008, Prothor Holding, owner of the movement maker La Joux-Perret and the Arnold & Son brand, in 2012, and Frédérique Constant in 2016.
