In 1924, the seeds of what would become a legendary watchmaking brand were sown when the Shokosha Watch Research Institute introduced its first timepiece under the Citizen name. Fast forward a century, and Citizen stands tall among the titans of the watch world. To mark its centenary, the brand is revisiting its origins with the limited-edition 100th Anniversary Special Edition Pocket Watch. Limited to just 100 pieces, this timepiece pays homage to its inaugural model with a white dial, classic hour markers, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. But this isn’t just a reissue; it’s a celebration of progress and innovation. The dial features a unique pattern reminiscent of falling snow, achieved through a meticulous process involving electroforming, clear coating, and polishing.
While the 100th Anniversary Pocket Watch nods to history, it embraces the future with modern materials and technology. Crafted from lightweight titanium alloy and suspended on a Japanese silk cord dyed in an indigo charcoal hue, this timepiece blends tradition with contemporary flair. Inside ticks the Caliber 0270 hand-wound movement, boasting impressive accuracy and adorned with exquisite Côtes de Genève finishing visible through the exhibition caseback. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a statement—a testament to Citizen’s century-long commitment to excellence. Priced at $9,000, this commemorative masterpiece is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Celebrate a century of timekeeping mastery with Citizen’s 100th Anniversary Special Edition Pocket Watch.
