Why We Chose This
In the early 1980s, leading CASIO watch designer Kikuo Ibe had a vision to create an indestructible watch. He and his team tested a vast range of materials and prototypes were subjected to the most stringent requirements—but Ibe was still not satisfied with even the hardest of metals that were tested. Inspiration struck when he saw children playing with a bouncing rubber ball and, after two more years of testing, the hollow-case resin design of the first shock-resistant G-Shock watch was perfected.
Innovative Function
Function plays a large role in defining good design. When designers look at an object, they don't just consider its aesthetic appearance—they should also challenge it to be more versatile, to respond to the user's need, or to achieve its purpose more elegantly. Good design has the capacity to solve problems that sometimes we didn't even know we had. This is one of the ways design touches and enriches our everyday life.
