From instantly recognisable digital designs to the legendary G-SHOCK, Casio watches have become a staple of modern watch collections. Combining innovative technology with distinctive style, Casio offers timepieces to suit everything from everyday wear to more adventurous lifestyles.
With a new selection of Casio watches now available at The Jewel Hut, we're taking a look at the history behind this iconic brand and some of the styles you can discover today.
Casio's story began in Tokyo in 1946, originally operating as Kashio Seisakujo. The company became known for its technological innovation, particularly after launching the world's first compact all-electric calculator, the 14-A, in 1957.
This passion for technology soon extended to watches. In 1980, Casio introduced the C-80, a digital watch featuring a built-in calculator. This was just the beginning of the brand's innovative approach to watchmaking, with later models introducing features including data storage and other digital functions. Then, in 1983, Casio introduced one of its most iconic creations: G-SHOCK.
The first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C, was created with one ambitious goal: to develop a watch that could withstand significant impact. After years of development, Casio created a revolutionary shock-resistant structure that transformed expectations of what a wristwatch could withstand.
Since then, G-SHOCK has evolved into a global icon. Its bold silhouettes and durable construction have made it a favourite among sports enthusiasts and streetwear fans, while its distinctive designs have also secured its place in contemporary fashion.
Born from the spirit of G-SHOCK, BABY-G offers a more compact take on Casio's iconic shock-resistant style. Combining playful designs with everyday durability, BABY-G watches are made for those who want a practical timepiece without compromising on personality.
From pastel shades and vibrant colourways to classic black and white designs, there's a style to suit every look. Whether you're searching for an everyday watch or a statement accessory, BABY-G adds a fun, sporty touch to your wrist.
