INDEPENDENT is a watch brand listed as a related brand of Citizen. Its first model, released in 1996, introduced a simple, sharp, cutting-edge design. It subsequently released models that foregrounded design, including a reworking of Ana-Digi Temp, distinctive digital displays, and collaborations with fashion brands. Unlike ATTESA and PROMASTER, which focus on function and use, and The CITIZEN, which pursues precision and quality, INDEPENDENT is positioned around watch design and its connection to fashion.
