Casio is a multi-national brand, founded in Japan, in April 1946, by Tadao Kashio. It might not be common-knowledge but his first product wasn't a watch but a finger ring, called 'Yubiwa pipe' that held a cigarette. In fact, it wasn't till 1974 when Casio wanted to bring more diversity to their product line, that they released their first watch, named 'Casiotron', which only sounds like a giant robot. The watch featured a fully automatic calendar, which included month lengths and leap years. Some time after this in 1983, the very first 'G-Shock' watch, the DW-5000C was released. In 1995 the 'G-Shock' watch had an upgrade, it now featured an 'Illuminator' or 'Foxfire', back-light. The DW-5600E was the first 'G-Shock' sporting a full EL, LCD panel. Then, something more recent, in 2007, the OCW-S1000J, is dubbed the world's thinnest, solar-powered chronograph, being only approx 8.9 mm in thickness!
Now at the risk of sounding like someone who works strictly for Casio, their corporate creed is 'creativity and contribution'. It expresses the company's commitment to contributing to society by offering original and useful products. With over 50 years in Business, it is enough to say that Casio, is one company founded with inventiveness. That foundation has continued right through to the present day.
