Mens Watches

Almost every day you look at the time to see if you’re finally able to leave and head home, or if you’ve still got time left. Some people look at the clock on the wall, others look at the bottom of their computer screen. Many, however, look on their wrist. Wristwatches have been used for hundreds of years, but until the 1920’s they were always worn in the pocket. Shortly before World War I, however, women began to wear them on their wrists. At the time it was considered to be a passing fad, and more than one many said that he would have to put a skirt on if he were to wear a wristwatch. At that time, mens watches in this fashion simply weren’t popular.

During World War I, however, soldiers realized that it was fairly difficult to see what time it was with a pocket version. They often had to carry a number of other items with them, and they realized that one would be the perfect way to be able to tell the time while they had their hands full. They did this by taking their pocket models and by putting them into leather straps that had a cupped shape to them, allowing them to wear them on their wrist during battle.

History
As with everything, the watch then went through an evolutionary stage. The inside of the wristwatch, which is what keeps the time going, changed to become something much more accurate, and the outside of began to vary as well, as both men and women were wearing them. Soon manufacturers realized that they could make a living off of designing different models, as they began to become not only a necessary way to tell time, but also a fashion accessory. This is how Citizen watches came to be.

The company was started in 1918 in Tokyo, Japan, and was originally founded as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute. In 1930, however, the name of the company was changed to Citizen, and since then it has become one of the largest producers of timepieces in the world.
Movement
The Citizen Stiletto watch is one of the more popular collections from this brand. Older models feature an analog-quartz movement, while the latest models feature the patented Eco-Drive technology. In general terms, though, these are all the most well known for their beautiful design as well as for their smooth, yet durable style.
Style
Unlike other collections that you may find, Citizen Stiletto watches have styles for both men and women to wear. Some models, such as the Eco-Drive Stainless Rectangular Gold Tone have a square shape and are often reflective of a singular need such as formal or business dress. Other men, however, prefer the circular face, and although most of the models have a rectangular face, there are some that have the circular face to help meet the needs of more individuals. All of them, however, offer sleek styling that is ideal for almost any occasion.
What They Are Known For
It is known for being not only beautiful, but affordable. Unlike some luxury models that extremely expensive, the style as a whole is aesthetically-pleasing yet not as pricey as some models. Typically light-weight, it is scratch-resistant to offer a higher level of durability. Most are water-resistant to some degree, and as with all models from this brand, virtually maintenance free. Often a bit understated, this is the ideal compliment to almost any wardrobe ensemble.
