Surprise 3 - CITIZEN Tourbillon Debut?
Here is the last part of the report on the exhibit. This is an interesting "revelation", for those who think CITIZEN is just a solar-power Eco-Drive gagetary Quartz watches. Well, apparently not.
We have seen through the exhibit that CITIZEN is not just another "quartz watch" brand but much bigger than that, including the philosophy, creativity, "advanced" mentality and global mentality of the employees all over the world.
Now here you see the potential "NEXT" of CITIZEN. They say, this is just an experiment by our watchmakers to show our capability and intention. CITIZEN has been all about "TIME" and mechanical watch has been always in the heart of the manufacture.
This is IT! Can't see?
How about this?
Yes!
Very well executed. Can't wait to see the final product some day.
Slide projected on the wall about the manufacturing watches.
...and the history of watchmaking, including CITIZEN's own.
Other showcases. These hands were actually moving...
Small screws...
How small?
Well, that is about it. This exhibition is open to public at "Spiral Garden" in Aoyama, from November 14th to 24th for free. There were so many people there. I have been to this place for meeting (there is a nice cafe) many times, but I had never seen so many people here.
And finally.... well, please read on..

Thank you for this post, Ken. I love Citizen.
For many years but it always seem inappropriate to share until now. ...
Wow, you got that already!
TdotBean san, please share more with us. CITIZEN is a very respectable brand with long history and high spirits of "We love watch" culture. So, no need to hesitate! I would love to try that one, too! Ken

Seems that Citizen created a lot of "worlds firsts"
something which I really did not know. Citizen to me is usually associated with the Eco drive movements, but this is an eye opening and very educational report. Thanks for this, and that decoration made with base plates is very original and nice.
Me, too. But they are a lot of ...
... advanced and forward "thinkers" than I had expected. Need to stay tuned on them, I felt. Ken
thanks for the report, Ken. I will stop at that boutique in December and..
Make some comments. My images and report will not be on the same level as for the NY Seiko boutique.
Thanks Ken for the report ...
Citizen plays a major role on my watch addiction. Until today my son wears my old quartz "Blue Angels", that was an object of desire eons ago. More info about Citizen is always welcome. Cheers, Nilo
A big thank you, Ken!
Dear Ken, I always put a high level of attention to your posts, because they always hide a surprise, be it in the contents, or in the pictures or simply for their incomparable style. This time, you have reported us something slightly different from the "u...
