Legendary Watches – Developed by Casio
In April 1946 Casio was established by Tadao Kashio, an expert and engineer in processing technology parts, in Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. First the firm was named Kashio Seisakujo. Not until 1957 the firm has been renamed Casio Computer Co.,Ltd. He was sure that people’s lives could be bettered by society innovative goods. Today it is a multinational firm with 13.000 members of staff producing electronic apparatuses with its HQ in Tokyo, Japan. It is not only known for its great sized and long-lasting wrist watches but also for digital cameras (EXILIM), laptops, musical instruments, calculators, audio equipment, electronic lexicons, computer printers, and cell phones.
A very lucrative idea
His earliest key product was the famous “yubiwa pipe” allowing the smoker to smoke the cigarette to its knob. The pipe consisted of a finger ring and the wearer had the possibility to smoke while he had his hands free. After the Second World War Japan was destitute and cigarettes were expensive. So Kashio’s innovation became successful. In 1957 Casio made the world’s leadoff compacted calculator (all electric) with relay technology public. In the 1980s the company reached great popularity with its home keyboards and low-priced electronic instruments. It also became best-known for innovative and varied wrist watches. Furthermore Casio wrist watches could tell the time in several zones, display altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and – in addition to that – GPS positions. The company was also among the first manufacturers of analog and digital quartz crystal wristwatches.
A great mixture of models
The primary G-Shock watch, the famous “DW-5000C”, was published in 1983. Twelve years later the “DW-5600E” – a G-Shock wristwatch including a modern EL LCD panel – was released. In 2007 the world’s slimmest chronograph powered by solar was announced. The “OCW-S1000J” called the “Oceanus Manta” is only approximately 8.9 mm in size. Peculiarly popular are Casio’s special dual function watches called Wave Ceptors (analog and LCD). To keep exact time they incessantly receive signals from an atomic clock.
