Citizen Watch Company’s acquisition of Prothor Holding SA in 2012 \u2014\u00a0owner of movement specialist La Joux-Perret, Arnold & Son and component maker Prototec SA \u2014 was expected to herald the dawn of a new era in high end watchmaking for the Japanese corporation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Progress has been incremental over the past nine years, with more focus on integrating Frederique Constant, Alpina and Bulova into the group.<\/p>\n

Attention is likely to turn back to Citizen’s premium watchmaking later this year with the introduction of a $6,000 watch using the brand’s first new mechanical movement since 2010.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Calibre 0200, made in collaboration with La Joux Perret, edges Citizen (the brand, not the group) upmarket at a time when the sub-\u00a3500 watch sector is being transformed by Apple Watch and other smartwatches from the likes of Samsung.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is expected to first appear in a finished watch in early autumn that will have a stainless steel 40mm diameter case, 10.9mm in thickness.<\/p>\n

The movement, which will be visible through a transparent case back, offers accuracy to an average of -3 to +5 seconds per day and power reserve of approximately 60 hours.<\/p>\n
