Citizen Talks Time and Space at New York Flagship

While guests at Citizen’s New York boutique typically talk about timekeeping every day, rarely does the discussion extend to intergalactic topics. But during one evening last week Citizen invited guests to consider “Time, Space and Innovation with special guest speakers who are experts on these very topics as it celebrated the recent launch of its Satellite Wave-World Time GPS and Satellite Wave F900 watches replica.

Oded Aharonson, professor of earth and planetary sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, provided an illuminating up-to-the minute perspective on why precise timekeeping is so vital to space exploration. He discussed how advanced GPS technology similar to that used by Citizen made possible the discovery of water on Mars, a planet with which he is quite familiar. He notes that while non-GPS quartz watches replica are accurate to about five seconds a day, Citizen’s new Satellite Wave-World Time GPS and F900 are accurate to 1/20th of a second a day. Aharonson serves as an investigator in many NASA flight missions including the Mars Exploration Rovers and the Cassini Mission to Saturn.

Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, told the assembled guests why Einstein’s theories on relativity required his revolutionary understanding that time is not experienced the same way under all circumstances. Greene’s books, The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos and The Hidden Reality, have collectively spent 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list; and were the basis of two award-winning NOVA mini-series, which he hosted.

Citizen’s vice president of technical support Jay Spring also spoke, describing how the Satellite Wave-World Time GPS and Satellite Wave F900 watches replica receive GPS signals quickly to allow the multi-motor timepieces quickly reset to local time anywhere on earth. The 43mm Super Titanium Satellite Wave F900 ($1,995 to $2,400) features satellite GPS timekeeping technology with synchronized time adjustment available in forty time zones, a 1/20-second chronograph, perpetual calendar, alarm, light level indicator and dual time. The newest model, the 43.5mm steel Satellite Wave World-Time GPS ($1,150) utilizes the power of four GPS satellites for even quicker (3-second) GPS signal reception anywhere on earth. This three-hand day-date model also shows daylight savings time, power reserve and light level power. Amazingly, when fully charged, the new model’s power can last up to seven years in the dark with its power save mode.

Citizen also displayed photographs by artist Michael Benson, whose exhibit Otherworlds: Visions of Our Solar System opens next year at the Natural History Museum in London. Citizen and the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning also honored physics student and Bergen County Technical School senior Michelle Baird as a Science Star of the Future in recognition of her abilities and drive, which inspire for her academic community.

We could not be more pleased to introduce our important new advancements in Citizen Satellite Wave technology with this stellar team of leaders from the worlds of science, space and innovation, said Jeffrey Cohen, president of Citizen Watch Company of America.
