One hundred years have passed since 1924 when we made our first product, a pocket watch with the name CITIZEN. Now we have given new form to the concept of a watch ‘widely used and loved’ implicit in the CITIZEN name. Rather than just replicate the past, we have reinvented it, taking the ‘now’ of 2024 as our starting point and making an even better watch.
An unrelenting focus on accuracy and aesthetics.

The same devotion to excellence that inspired the original 1924 CITIZEN pocket watch lives on today. We honour the original layout by keeping the Arabic numerals and the small seconds at 6 o’clock, but also add some truly gorgeous new touches. Electroforming, clear coating and polishing are used to create the unique dial pattern, an evocation of the build-up of snow during a snowfall that suggests the accumulation of time gone by.

The braided cord watch chain is made by Domyo, a Tokyo company that has been producing kumihimo braided cord since the mid-seventeenth century. Pure Japanese silk, it has been dyed a ravishing indigo especially for this limited edition.
