There is an interesting story about Casio G-shock. In 1981, Casio hired a 28-year-old young engineer Kikuo Ibe. He received a mechanical watch from his father before his graduation. One day, the watch was broken when he knocked into one of his colleagues. Thereafter, he decided to create shock-proof watches. His experimental site was the three-story Casio office building which was 10-meter high at that time. He dropped the watch from the window of Casio office block every day until he created a case that was robust enough to withstand the shock of 10 meters. Since the first Casio G-shock watch came out, G-shocks have created their own popular culture across the world. Who are the Casio G-shock wearers? You will see that they are worn by armed forces, by hip-hop stars, by scientists, and by fashion followers.
