Considering Citizen watches were founded in 1924, I think it’s safe to say that most of us can recall a parent or teacher who wore one.

Thankfully the company has kept up with the times, both in design and sustainability. Their Eco-Drive solar-powered watches use a conversion panel and energy cell that harness light from any source to generate electrical power so even if you live in Mobile, Alabama, the rainiest city in the United States, you’ll still get to your appointments on time: The Eco-Drive can run for six months, even in the dark. Find a great selection for men and women at Perfectly Natural Home.
