Citizen watch company was founded in 1930 by Japanese and Swiss investors. It took over Shokosha Watch Research Institute (founded in 1918) and some facilities of the assembly plant opened in Yokohama in 1912 by the Swiss watchmaker Rodolphe Schmid. The brand Citizen was first registered in Switzerland by Schmid in 1918. The development of Citizen until World War II relied on technology transfer from Switzerland.
