Citizen today boasts a litany of world firsts
Citizen today boasts a litany of world firsts
There is indeed much to be said about heading the Southeast Asian division of a company that has persistently been at the forefront of global watch technology.
Citizen today boasts a litany of world firsts which include the thinnest men's watch, the smallest ladies' watch, the Titanium watch and the Quartz watch.
It was also hailed as a trend-setter in Japan where it introduced the country's first shock-resistant watch, waterproof watch and wristwatch with an alarm setting mechanism.
As the 70s drew to a close, Citizen decided it was time to wear the social responsibility hat. The result was its Eco-Drive range which features environmentally-friendly watches that use any light as a power source.
The technology has made it unnecessary to change or dispose of batteries as the watch is able to store enough energy to last it six months in total darknesss.
“Citizen actually introduced this range 75 years ago but back then people were not concerned about the environment,” Tadahiro said. “All they talked about was its awkward bulky size.”
The company spent a great amount of time and effort explaining the Eco-Drive concept to the public when it was relaunched and it has paid off handsomely. Today the range contributes to more than 80% of sales.
“Buying an Eco-Drive watch makes the wearer feel that he or she is doing their bit for the environment,” Tadahiro smiled.

Is ballet suddenly
Trend Watch: Is ballet suddenly the new 'Twilight'?
Okay, I know, I know. But bear with me here: Both surround beautiful things that can cause bodily harm (Twilight: vampires; ballet: pointe shoes), both involve glitter (Twilight: sparkly vampires!; ballet: sparkly costumes!), both involve forbidden love (Twilight: between vampires and humans; ballet: between ballerinas and Hostess products), and both are women handbags enjoying their moment in the spotlight. That’s right: Ballet is so hot right now. Or, I should say, the dark underbelly of the ballet world is so hot right now.
Let’s run it down: For months now, chatter has surrounded Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, a ballet thriller about the art form’s dangerously competitive nature that has ignited Oscar talk for star Natalie Portman. Then a pack of black leotard-clad ballerinas toasted the a-hole that is Kanye West in his “Runaway” video. Furthermore, New York City Ballet principal Jenifer Ringer made headlines yesterday after The New York Times‘ Alastair Macaulay said the dancer “looked as if she’d eaten one sugar plum too many” in his review of the company’s Nutcracker. (Dude, as a writer, I love me my puns, but that was way harsh, Tai.) And finally, news broke today that Chloe Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley, and Bailee Madison have joined Kristen Bell in Dance of the Mirlitons, a film about a curvy ballerina with a stage mom (Bell) who attempts to make it in the tough business. (Co-director Daniel Dubiecki’s rep Seamless Tube confirms The Hollywood Reporter‘s report with EW; Madison will play the ballerina, Moretz will play the class’ ace pupil, and Haley will play a sadistic Russian ballet teacher in the film, which will also be helmed by Evan Greenberg.)
And yet, I’m conflicted about ballet’s trendy, dark turn in pop-culture: I love the romantic mood surrounding dance films like The Turning Pointe, and I love Center Stage‘s silly spin on the art (though, admittedly, even that frivolous film addressed eating disorders). But as a former ballerina, I’m also all too aware of the pain and suffering attached to dance. I’m happy to see it represented for what it is: A fairly painful art form that involves plenty of blood and gumption. (Not to say that Black Swan is 100 percent realistic or that youngsters should flock to the theaters to see the very R-rated film.) It’s important that the young folk realize the dangers of dance before becoming seduced by the glitter and glitz. (See? Like Bella!)
What about you, PopWatchers? Do you like Led lamp your ballet dark, or with plenty of cream and sugar(plums)?
