 +
 +**Citizen** is a Japanese watch manufacturer and one of the largest watch companies in the world. Most watches have [[quartz]] movements or [[Eco-Drive]]. In [[1989]], Citizen introduced the [[Citizen Promaster|Promaster]] brand of [[tool watch]]es.
 +
 +Citizen is organised in several Corporate divisions. The Citizen Group is called {{tagpage>Citizen_Holdings|Citizen Holdings}}.
 +
 +The subsidiary [[Miyota]] is responsible for the production of mechanical movements at Citizen. Citizen, under //Citizen Systems Japan Co.//, also produces business and consumer electronic devices.
 +
 +The brand [[Bulova]], known for its former [[tuning fork]] movement in the [[Bulova Accutron]] (the first electronic watch), also belongs to Citizen.
 +
 +In March [[2012]] Citizen Watch, part of the Citizen Holding, has bought the mechanical movement manufacturer [[La Joux-Perret]] and the watch manufacturer [[Arnold & Son]].
 +
 +In May [[2016]] it was announced that Citizen would acquire [[Frederique Constant|Frederique Constant Holding]], owner of the [[Frederique Constant]] and [[Alpina]] brands.
 +
 +In [[2019]], Citizen introduced [[Calibre 0100]], claimed to be the most accurate watch movement ever produced. Accurate to 1 second per year, this [[quartz]] movement uses an "AT Cut" oscillator rather than the more conventional [[tuning fork]] shape and operates at much higher frequency.
