Casio is one of the most well-known brands in the world, and for decades the Japanese company has been producing high-quality watches to meet market demand. They remain an enduring symbol of timekeeping to this day, but alongside their range of watches, Casio also offers a huge selection of electronic products as diverse as calculators and musical instruments.Casio's most famous products are its watches, but to understand the history of Casio, it's important to know where the company stands in relation to the wider history of watches. Clocks have been around for centuries, with humans being able to tell time using the sun for millennia, but it wasn't until the 17th century that the clock went portable. Casio watches quickly became a hit after their release in 1974. The Casio company was pioneering the mass production of quartz watches, which were run electronically. These were the world's first successful electronic watches, and they were the height of fashion and technology. This first product was called the Casiotron and it sold like wildfire. The watch was innovative and trendy, with a small computer screen that allowed the wearer to not only accurately tell the time, but also tell the date too. These functions might be taken for granted today, but in the 1970s, this was groundbreaking technology.
