In 1999, when the concept of "genuine watches" was still unfamiliar, Citizen, one of Japan's prominent brands, decided to expand its distribution system in Vietnam. Instead of choosing large-scale partners or widespread advertising, they prioritized a reputable brand.
After careful research, surveys, and consumer feedback assessment, the Japanese company signed an agreement with Tan Tan, a company with over a decade of experience in watch retailing, known by many collectors for its meticulous service and after-sales commitment.

"Today, that handshake has become a symbolic relationship. 25 years is a journey of stability and trust. Both sides have built service standards together - a place where watch buyers are always treated like family," a Tan Tan representative said.
As a strategic partner, Tan Tan not only distributes famous collections like Citizen L, Promaster, Super Titanium, Series 8, Eco-Drive One, Tsuyosa, but also has many exclusive editions.

At the showroom, watch enthusiasts receive detailed advice on each model and how the artisans crafted the product. Some choose watches for their distinctive personality, impressive metallic design, and exposed movements. Others love the sophistication of the white face, thin case, leather strap, and traditional three hands.
The company representative said they do not follow popular trends, but want to create value - where each Citizen design is selected to express the wearer's personality.

Besides distribution, Tan Tan is also an authorized Citizen warranty center. Each watch, after years of use, returns with scratches, loose straps, or erratic timekeeping, carrying the marks of its journey.
Wedding gifts, promotions, graduation presents. The beauty of a watch is not just in the time it measures, but in the memories preserved with each visit.
"With each inspection, battery replacement, oiling, or parts quote, the Tan Tan team not only repairs watches but also keeps a promise: to accompany and protect the most precious sentimental values," the company representative shared.
