Outline

Introduction of the JCWA

The Japan Clock & Watch Association (JCWA) was established in April 1948 as a voluntary organization for the development of the domestic horological industry.

In November 1982, with the approval of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), it was reorganized as an independent and non-profit incorporated association.

Since its establishment, the JCWA has been continuing in its endeavor to cope with important horological issues and promote further expansion of the global horological industry.

The JCWA celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1998.
