Congratulations to Mark McGarry who was drawn as the lucky winner of a new Citizen Signature Collection Watch.

TopGolfer member Mark filled out the entry form for the Citizen Competition after competing in a TopGolfer Tour event, held at Woodenbridge Golf Club. Entry forms were distributed to over 2,500 competitors on the TopGolfer Tour in 2010. Mark, who plays off 7 from Newlands GC was “thrilled” to be drawn out of the hat which capped off “a very exciting week”, having earlier in the week hit 6- under par gross for 9-holes on his home course.

Information on Citizen Signature Collection:
It takes highly accomplished watchmakers to build legendary timepieces.

They start with a thorough understanding of watches: a history spanning over 500 years, technologies that have challenged human ingenuity for just as long, and an artform resulting in the epitome of functional design.

The Signature Collection derives its name from the mid-16th century medievil Latin word “signatura” representing an official mark given to something of importance. Coincidently this word came into being around the same period that clockmakers began striving for miniaturization, ultimately resulting in the wristwatch.

What makes a Signature timepiece worthy of its name? Let’s begin with its heritage. The result of 91 years of watchmaking excellence by Citizen Watch Company. The Signature Collection embodies the bloodlines of one of the most successful and prolific watch manufacturers in the history of time.

In addition, it is the genius inside each Signature timepiece that further distinguishes its name. Every Signature timepiece is powered by Citizen’s exclusive Eco-Drive technology and never needs a battery replacement. Eco-Drive watch movements harness the power harness the light from any natural or artificial light source and convert it into energy which is stored in a permanently rechargeable lithium-ion cell that recharges continuously in any kind of light to run forever.

Explore the Signature Collection and you will discover the pinnacle of art and design in time. Observe the quality and attention to detail in the finishing of the cases and bracelets. Examine the diversity of functions and how beautifully they display their various dimensions of time.

From Grand Complication to Perpetual Calendar and Flyback Chronograph models for men to diamond accented models for women, the Signature Collection lives up to its name.

Citizen Watch Company has Padraig Harrington as an Unstoppable Brand Ambassador for Citizen Eco-Drive to launch The Signature Collection. Ranked in the top-five worldwide, winner of the last two consecutive British Open Championships and the 2008 PGA Championship, Harrington is virtually unstoppable in his career and displays qualities of a true champion - consistency, precision, drive, reliability - qualities that are well-matched to represent Citizen Eco-Drive watches.

“I am delighted to sign with the world-class watch brand, Citizen. I believe that it is attention to detail and the ability to execute consistently that makes a good golfer a great golfer. The same holds true for Citizen and I look forward to wearing The Signature Collection watches and being featured in their marketing programs,” states Padraig Harrington.
