Human Craftsmanship, Engineering and AI Are Powering Casio’s Future
Due to this commitment to innovation, they created their groundbreaking first major invention – the 14-A all-electric calculator in 1957, a desk-sized machine that transformed calculations with its quick processing and user-friendly keypad, marking the beginning of CASIO COMPUTER Co., Ltd. Later, they dominated the pocket calculator market, and in 1974, made a significant shift into watch manufacturing with the introduction of Casiotron. This watch stood out for its revolutionary features, such as the world’s first auto-calendar function that automatically accounted for different month lengths and leap years. Initially faced with skepticism from a market accustomed to viewing watches as luxury items, Casio’s novel use of plastic for durability eventually set the stage for the G-SHOCK brand’s distinct focus on robustness.
