Citizen

Citizen was founded in 1918 and became known as “Citizen” in 1930 when the Citizen Watch Company began manufacturing its world-renowned timepieces. In the following years, Citizen applied the precision miniaturization and precision manufacturing technologies developed through watchmaking to offer a wide range of electronic components and products.

Citizen has a holding structure and four main product groups: Watches, Machine Tools, Devices & Components, and Electronic Products. Our Code of Conduct ensures that standards such as product safety, fair and transparent business transactions, andproactive engagement in environmental issues are maintained across these four businesses. More than a century has passed since Citizen's founding. Therefore, today, we are leveraging our accumulated capabilities and potential to pave the way to the future
