ALL CITIZEN-MADE
What manufacture means
to CITIZEN.
Manufacture is a French term for an integrated watchmaker that makes all the parts for its watches in-house. Some people interpret the term loosely and equate being a manufacture with simply making watch movements. That's not enough for us. Of course, we make movements. But we also make everything else, from the tiniest parts to hands and cases. There is only a handful of genuine manufacture brands in the world. CITIZEN is proud to be one of them.
It's all
to make
the ideal watch.
Why is CITIZEN so committed to being a manufacture? It's simple. To create a more accurate watch, you need exceptionally precise parts. To create a more beautiful watch, you need a finer finish. To create a smaller watch, you need to make individual parts that are unprecedentedly small. In other words, we believe that being a manufacture is the only path to making the ideal watch.
