NHK World-Japan published a new episode of the “Japan’s Top Inventions” series about the creation and success of the G-Shock shock-resistant watch. The 15-minute video covers the development process lead by engineer Kikuo Ibe, the struggle after launch in Japan, and the role of the United States in building the popularity of G-Shock. Longtime G-Shock fans will already be very familiar with this story, but the video also includes some unique footage.
Visit www3.nhk.or.jp to view the video. The video is available until August 22, 2020.
