Citizen is mostly known by a larger audience for its fairly-priced yet in-house produced mechanical and Eco-Drive watches. However, this would be reductive to the watchmaking capacities of the Japanese brand that has shown in the past proper expertise, with for instance the Eco-Drive Caliber 0100 (one of the most precise watches in the world) or a more traditional watch with a tourbillon. Today marks a new step in Citizen’s path for high-end watchmaking, with the unveiling of The Citizen Mechanical Model NC0200-90E, equipped with a new automatic movement, the Caliber 0200 made in collaboration with La Joux-Perret S.A. in Switzerland.

Very nice but 6 grand?

Actual shop prices will more than likely run lower. I could do without the small seconds dial; but it's a beautiful watch.

Yes, it is sweet, but very pricy, if it retails for around $6,000..

Ebels are a lot like women that lack a low cut dress that zips up the side...neither get the love that they deserve...

Not crazy about the dial- the price is nuts.

$6k is a lot and I wouldn't pay it but it isn't excessive compared to Grand Seiko, Rolex and Omega. And I reckon this looks better than any of them.

Comparatively speaking you're absolutely correct- I guess it's somewhat bone jarring for me to see prices like this from manufacturers not particularly known for haute heritage.
