Casio Company Background
The Casio company began life in Japan in the year 1946 as a manufacturer of microscope parts. Before long the company tackled the task of creating Japan's first electronic calculator, and after years of research the company was successful in bringing an innovative electronic calculator to the market. Casio made a name for itself in the calculator field and after a couple of decades decided to branch out into other markets. While their products eventually grew to encompass everything from word processors to musical keyboards, they began their expansion with watches.
Casio Innovations
In 1974 Casio debuted its computerized Casiotron watch. This watch was innovative for the era because not only could it accurately keep time, but it could keep track of the day of the month, as well as recognize if the year was a leap year.
When Casio introduced its G-Shock watch in 1983 it created a new standard for other watches to aspire to. The G-Shock was a tough watch that could be dropped from atop a building and keep ticking. This shock-resistant watch was a novel concept when it was first introduced, but before long it caught on and other companies began introducing their own versions of the G-Shock.
