Staying driven for 20,000 miles embedded inside the wheel of a bus. Currently being ejected from a fighter plane. Currently being shot. These are all things that Casio G-Shock watches have survived. It is fair to say then that G-Shock is often a brand which privileges function above kind - though that hasn't stopped it gaining a style following plus a Tinie Tempah shout-out (in "Pass Out", surprisingly, not "Invincible"). Almost thirty many years because its inception, it has now launched a Premium range, combining style and take-a-licking-and-keep-on-ticking substance.
How quite a few broken watches do you may have at G-Shock HQ?
When we 1st launched the G-Shock Mr Ibe, who developed the initial G-Shock and broke 100 watches every day. But now we've a fundamental structure, so to create one particular new model we break ten. Obviously we've a level, how far we can go, but we like to test for the maximum. The model can go even larger than the level we advertise, so we go even increased so we are able to know exactly how far.
What is the most extreme factor you have carried out to a watch?
Sometime we drop the G-Shocks through the sixth floor. We just do it as an experiment!
What about your clients?
We've received a number of letters from users. But a great illustration is there was a commercial in which a G-Shock was hit by an ice hockey stick. Viewers believed it wasn't genuine but a Television programme really tested it as well as the view nonetheless worked. Our engineers were nervous, nevertheless it nevertheless worked...
In which do you get your inspiration?
The concept is G-Shock for the ultimate atmosphere. We had conversations with folks who work in extreme jobs for instance firemen. For the aviation model we exchanged opinions with pilots. By acquiring a conversation, we create.
What's up coming for G-Shock?
Not surprisingly we produced G-Shock having a toughness notion but we are now contemplating developing a "smartwatch" which is connected to smartphone utilizing Bluetooth. That's a brand new planet for G-Shock.
Are you able to go far more premium than this?
On the moment our most premium model is Mr G. We would like to go further but we should keep the toughness and functionality so at the second we are not sure how far we can go. But not surprisingly we would like to go more.
Numerous other gadgets now tell the time. Will we generally wear watches?
There was a second when we had been concerned about that but now we think that there is certainly a worth plus a status inside a view. At that time we developed watches even though ignoring their value: just make it bigger, bigger, greater. But now we're focusing around the special worth of watches we can still survive...
