Citizen has been marketing the Campanola

Pictured above is a rare Citizen Campanola Grand Complication with a cream face, roman numerals, on a metal bracelet. This watch features the most complications of any Citizen Campanola watch, including a perpetual calendar, chronograph, minute repeater, moonphase, and 24 hour indicator. A truly lovely example of the aesthetic beauty of Japanese design along with its everyday wearability. In fact, Japanese watch makers hardly make any watches not suited for everyday wear. This is contrary to many Swiss watch makers who often design watches that are only meant to be worn on occasion due to their fragile construction and use of exotic and expensive materials. It is exciting to see such widespread interest in high-end quartz watches, especially the Citizen Campanola. The signal is clear to watch makers; Americans are declaring that they want high quality watches without the obscene price tags usually associated with them. Watch makers be on notice, your American market exists and is waiting.
