G-SHOCK - Perhaps many are still wondering, where does the origin of G-SHOCK's watch come from being so famous and valued by many? This is a historical sharing of the G-SHOCK watch you should know.
Known for its durable brand of watches, this year, 2016 is the 33rd year of the Casio model watches that existed in the world. Since the launch of the first watch in 1974, Casio (Holding Company for G-SHOCK) entered the market as a new watch industry by highlighting the digital technology watch.
In 1974, Casio launched CASIOTRON, the world's first digital watch with automatic calendars. Casio has been able to build a watch that can accurately display starting from seconds, minutes, hours, days, and months.
The G-SHOCK model created by Casio's worker begins when he is given a meal by his father, but when he wears the clock then falls and breaks. From there he began to think to build a tough and durable watch.
G-SHOCK is a very tough watch, built by Casio engineer on "Unbreakable watches" with Triple 10's development concept. The design team looks for watches that can withstand fall from a height of 10 meters, waterproof and can enter the depth of 10 bar (100 meters) in water, and its battery life can last for 10 years.
The number of prototypes made for this durability test is 200. Additionally, a 2-year period is spent on continuously developing this design in order to improve its quality. After a long and difficult attempt, G-SHOCK finally launched.
In 1983, Casio officially launched the G-SHOCK model in Japan. But uniquely, marketing is actually done in the United States and it continues to grow rapidly there. The durability of G-SHOCK has proven to be the world's toughest watch. The DW-5000C-1A model is the first G-SHOCK launched in April 1983.
A long-lasting watch, G-SHOCK has broken the notion that watches are the most fragile parts of jewelry, which must be carefully dealt with. This watch is the answer to the challenges Casio engineers take to develop the toughest watches in the world. Using 3 layers of protection for some parts, modules, and cases, G-SHOCK offers new radical watches without vibration.
This new watch became so popular that his sales spiked so much in the early 90's. In its development, G-SHOCK has a variety of new sensors, solar-powered batteries, radio control technology for calibration, and new materials to enhance the durability of their watches.
With the continued use of new technology at G-SHOCK, it has become Casio's main product for watches. From time to time casio continues to develop the technology and design of its watches continuously. We should thank 'The Father Of G-SHOCK', Kikuo Ibe, for his efforts, where we can use the ever-robust watches that exist in this world.
