For half a century, Citizen has led the field in light-powered timekeeping, pioneering Eco-Drive in the 1970s and proving that a watch can be powered by any light—sunlight, desk lamps, even the glow of a city at night. What began as an energy solution became a philosophy: practical innovation, refined design, and real-world longevity. On Wednesday, March 18th, from 6:30–8:30 PM, Hodinkee and Citizen invite you to the Citizen Flagship Store to celebrate the legacy of the Eco-Drive movement.

To honor this celebration, the event will feature an intimate panel featuring voices spanning continents, companies, and design perspectives, along with a private look at what’s next. Noted guests will include Neall Brick, Director of Merchandising at Citizen Watch America; Shoichiro Morita, Eco-Drive Movement Engineer at Citizen; Yu Sekiguchi, Editor-in-Chief of Hodinkee Japan, and Mark Kauzlarich, Senior Editor of Hodinkee.
