About CITIZEN’s Design Philosophy
At the “Designing Emotion” website below, we introduce the thoughts and commitment that our designers put into their creations.
https://www.design.citizenwatch-global.com/
※Eco-Drive is CITIZEN’s proprietary technology that powers watches using any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need to replace batteries. Certified as an Eco Mark product for the first time in the watch industry. GPS satellite-synchronised watches receive date and time signals sent by GPS satellites from space — orbiting 20,000 kilometers above the Earth — bringing ultra-precise timekeeping to wherever you are on the face of the globe.
<About CITIZEN>
CITIZEN WATCH is a true manufacture d'horlogerie with the capabilities to carry out the entire watch manufacturing process in-house, from creating a watch’s individual components to its final assembly and adjustment. The company operates in more than 140 countries and regions around the world. Since its founding in 1918, CITIZEN has held the belief of “BETTER STARTS NOW” — that is, no matter who you are and what you do, it is always possible to make something better, and now is the time to start doing it. Sharing this belief, we began making mechanical watches, invented and improved technologies and explored the future of watches such as our proprietary light-powered Eco-Drive technology and satellite-synchronised timekeeping. 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of CITIZEN’s world first light-powered watch, and we will continue to explore the future of watchmaking through innovation.
