History of G-Shock: The Indestructible Secret That Revolutionized Watchmaking

June 19, 2026

Can a mistake change watchmaking? In Secrets of Watchmaking at Joyería Cánovas, we reveal the origin of a myth. In the 1980s, Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe broke a very prized watch. That accident sparked the idea to create a watch capable of withstanding drops, severe impacts, and the most extreme use.

Thus, in 1983, the legendary DW-5000C was born, breaking the standards of the time.

G-Shock has evolved from a technical piece to a global symbol of resilience. Casio's evolution hasn't stopped: 2010 (GA-100): An industrial, robust, analog-digital aesthetic that defined an era. 2019 (GA-2100): The acclaimed "CasiOak," a thinner, lighter, and urban-inspired octagonal design. Sport Line (GBD-800 and GBD-H2000): Innovation with Bluetooth connectivity, advanced sensors, GPS, and solar charging. Today, ruggedness meets advanced technology. As official Casio G-Shock distributors, we invite you to discover these pieces of engineering and history. Explore the catalog and buy yours here: www.joyeriacanovas.com.
