What a cool thread, Stephen! Casio was my first watch in my teens. Back then, friends and classmates wore Casio as they were both economical and needed for timed testing. My teenage son just got his first watch earlier this year…yep a Casio!

And how awesome is it to meet the innovator, especially the shared story behind invention!

Yes, it was a wonderful event. Everyone was so gracious and so appreciative to have Ibe-San there. Ibe-San held a paper cut-out of a heart up to his chest to show his appreciation to the attendees honoring him. It was…really great.

Thought the gang would like to see some more photos from the G-Shock event at Topper Jewelers...

Rob, one of the owners of Topper, interviewing Kikuo Ibe.



Ibe-san chatting with one of attendees during the event. I think this gentleman also spoke Japanese.


Posing for photos with guests...


This photo pretty much says it all...


Cheers, guys.
