Engineer Kikuo Ibe spent three years and over 200 prototypes trying to build a watch that could survive a fall from a third-floor window. The solution was elegant - a hollow suspension structure that cushioned the module inside the case, isolating it from shock. Simple idea. Extremely difficult to execute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DW5000C didn't look like other watches. Its squared-off resin case and flat digital display had a blunt, utilitarian honesty that owed more to military hardware than to jewellery. It was water-resistant to 200 metres, had a stopwatch and an alarm, and could take virtually any punishment its wearer could find. Within a few years, the G-Shock had become a cultural object - adopted by skaters, hip-hop artists, surfers, and anyone who valued durability over decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Axisophy","offers":[{"title":"Large (50 × 70 cm | 20 × 28 in)","offer_id":45864086012065,"sku":"AXS-GIZ-GSK-P-500x700-AM-COL","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XLarge (70 × 100 cm | 28 × 40 in)","offer_id":45864086044833,"sku":"AXS-GIZ-GSK-P-1000x700-AM-COL","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/1546\/5889\/files\/Axisophy-CasioGShock-mockup-1.jpg?v=1770906890"},{"product_id":"casio-c80-calculator-watch-gizmo","title":"Casio C80 calculator watch","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy 1981, Casio had already miniaturised the calculator. The C-80 asked what happened if you strapped one to your wrist.
