2. What is the history of Casio watches? Can it really last for eight years? Casio brand first appeared in people's field of vision. It was in 1946 that founder Tadao Sumio formally established Sumio Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Sanying City, Tokyo.

The company name comes from the Japanese pronunciation "Kashio" of "Zuwei". The factory was originally a small subcontracting factory, mainly manufacturing microscope parts and gears.

Later, the younger brother of founder Tadao Tsuo joined his brother's work office with his deep electrical knowledge. In the early days, Keio Manufacturing Co., Ltd. devoted itself to the study of relay-type electric calculators, replacing manual calculators with gears and manual cranks.

1954 65438+February, the first small electric calculator prototype was completed. After Tadao Tadao's other two brothers joined in, the technology of electric calculator was further improved.

1June, 957: sold the world's first small electric calculator (Casio 14-A model) and established Casio Computer Co., Ltd. Subsequently, Casio went deeper and deeper in the research and development of electronic technology, and successively launched personal calculators and the world's first inkjet printer.

As for the appearance of Casio watches, it was in June 1 1.974. Prior to this, Casio was listed in Tokyo and Amsterdam by virtue of its previous accumulation.

Can Casio watches really last for 8 years without breaking down? That depends on how you use it. You have maintained your watch.

4. The historical background of Casio watches. The late founder of Casio Computer Company, 19 17, was born in Kurita Village, Kochi Prefecture (now South China).

City). 1923, after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, the Zuwei family moved to Tokyo at the invitation of their uncle who worked in Tokyo. After graduating from high school, Tadao Tsuo became a lathe apprentice. Because of his excellent work, he was appreciated by the factory owner and encouraged him to study at Waseda Technical School (now Waseda University) while working in the factory. In the past few years, Tadao Zunwei has been to several workshops and accumulated rich experience. He has made power lamps for pots and bicycles, won a good reputation for his exquisite skills, and was entrusted to process some parts. 1946, Tadashi Tsunami officially established Tsunami Studio in Sanying, Tokyo. The name of the company comes from the Japanese pronunciation of "Kashio" of "Tsukuo", and Tsukuo Toshio has developed some new products with its natural originality, including "cigarette rings". At that time, just after World War II, Japanese goods were in short supply, and smokers would take the last sip. Therefore, Toshio Tsuo invented a ring-shaped cigarette holder so that you can smoke at work. Tadashio Zunwei is responsible for making this kind of ring, and their father Shigeru Zunwei is responsible for sales. With more and more orders, cigarette rings quickly become hot-selling products. The profit of smoke ring laid the foundation for the development of new calculator.

Zunwei Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a small subcontracting factory, which mainly produces microscope parts and gears. Zunuozhongxiong has three younger brothers, namely Zunuojunxiong, Zunuojunxiong and Zuno Yukio. Toshio Tsuo first worked as a technician in Tokyo Office of the Ministry of Communications (now Japan Telegraph and Telephone Company), responsible for the construction and assembly of telegraph and telephone facilities. However, when he saw Tadao Tsuo exhausted from work every day, he decided to help his brother. When Toshio Tsuo was a child, he liked to think and worshipped Edison very much. He told his family that his dream was to be an inventor when he grew up. At that time, with deep electrical knowledge, Shounan had made some achievements in improving the working system, but he resolutely decided to quit his job and work in Shounan Manufacturing Company to give full play to his innovative talents.

After the smoke turn, the Zuway brothers began to try new products. At the first trade show held in Ginza, Tokyo on 1949, they turned their attention to foreign-made electric calculators. At that time, calculators still used mechanical gears, but no calculators used the popular electronic circuits. At that time, the most widely used calculator in Japan was the manual calculator, which used gears and manual cranks. Although electric calculators using small motors to drive gears have appeared abroad, it is impossible to manufacture such calculators in Japan, because the processing of its components requires very high professional skills and special materials. Although this kind of electric calculator is faster than the manual calculator, it is much slower than the current calculator, and it will also make sharp noise because of the high-speed operation of gears. With his knowledge of electricity, Tsuo Toshio thinks that many problems can be solved by replacing mechanical parts with complete circuits, and he decides to make his own virtual calculator. He adopted a solenoid and began to develop a gearless electronic calculator.

Zunuo Taxiong and Zuno Zunuo Toshio are busy subcontracting during the day and burying their heads in developing calculators at night. They showed their experiments to people, and then improved them according to the feedback, thus solving various problems encountered in the invention. After trying more than ten kinds of experiments, they made the first electronic calculator in Japan in 1954. The following year, Zunwei Brothers proudly brought their products to Wenxiangtang Company. Wenxiangtang Company is a company dealing in office supplies (including calculators). Unfortunately, the person in charge of Wenxiangtang said that their calculators are out of date because they can't multiply (a product times a number).

6. Seeking the corporate culture of Casio watches Speaking of G-SHOCK's dream, it inevitably reminds us of the historical origin and development of G-SHOCK series watches.

G-SHOCK series has been at the forefront of young fashion since the birth of 1983. The strong fashion and inclusiveness of G-SHOCK series make it pursue the latest and coolest culture, and also affect the cultural innovation of the watch industry.

G-SHOCK draws lessons from the design concept of keeping pace with the times and various trends. The following is the concept around the "first" G shock. Each of the following G-SHOCK watches has played a milestone role in the development history of G-SHOCK. They adopted the most advanced watch manufacturing technology at that time, or joined paramore's unique design concept, which made G-SHOCK's tough and high-tech product features deeply rooted in people's hearts, and with the development of time, people of different times enthusiastically sought after it.

1983: G came out. The basic concept of G-SHOCK's continuous development is earthquake resistance. The original G-SHOCK is DW-5000C, an epoch-making digital quartz watch, which conforms to Casio's three "10" standards. As far as its seismic capacity is concerned, it far exceeds the concept of ordinary people supporting watches.

In a practical sense, how many people are going to play the table with hockey? Isn't this crazy? However, Casio's engineers did not stop there, but constantly challenged. In fact, the original shock absorption system behind the protection device is not worth mentioning.

1993: It has reached a new depth for divers. 1993 frogman DW-6300 series came out. It calculates the diving time and water outlet time respectively in the market, and for the first time, it improves the waterproof function of G-SHOCK to the ISO-approved waterproof standard of 200 meters below the sea surface.

In order to meet the requirements of underwater working environment, DW-6300 series, which is suitable for divers, adopts spiral back cover, and the exposed part is completely coated with resin, which greatly improves its sealing and waterproof ability. This series later evolved into DW-8200 series, with electronic fluorescent lighting and titanium.

King of the deep water, of course you have to come up. When you glance at your diving watch, you will know that there are still a few minutes to be happy in the deep water, and you don't have to go back to that dull water world for the time being.

What watch are you wearing? It's a G-SHOCK frogman, and its fuselage is made of titanium, which is lighter than stainless steel and more rust-proof. Very suitable for people who work in seawater environment. Frogman can meet the extremely strict waterproof requirements of international standards association below 200 meters. It has many excellent qualities and special functions, and is indeed the best choice for divers.

Titanium case and frogman mascot The whole case is made of rust-proof light metal, and the back cover is engraved with the frogman mascot-a big bullfrog carrying diving oxygen. Divers who are experienced in diving timing and electronic fluorescent lighting know the danger of water pressure.

Before diving, divers should carefully calculate how long they can stay at a certain depth to ensure personal safety, and how long it will take them to dive again after they get out of the water. Never make a mistake.

Once you work it out, remember it firmly-don't ask yourself to remember it, but let your frogman remember it for you, enter your diving time, water interval and other data into your watch, and then press the "Start" button to dive into the deep water. Frogman will tell you what time it is, when you started diving and how long you have been diving.

Every time you press the button, the electronic fluorescence will light up the clock for two seconds, and you can clearly see these diving data even if you can't see the depths of the sea. Once you reach the surface of the water, you press the "start" switch again, and the frogman automatically starts to calculate your time on the surface of the water.

The resin shell and buttons have protective films, and the surface is titanium, which is completely wrapped by the resin protective film. There is a resin protective film on the important "function" and "adjustment" buttons on the left side of the watch to ensure that you will not press the wrong button or set the wrong time.

On the right is the "convenient" button. No protective film. Even in deep water, it is extremely convenient for you to press the fluorescent lighting switch or the diving data display switch. Comfortable and safe resin strap The strap is made of tough resin. Whether worn on the arm or wet protective gloves, they are very reliable and will not fall off.

Because of the use of the buckle, it is more firm to wear and convenient to wear or take off. Finally, there are some small grooves on the back of the strap, which can make water or sweat flow away faster and make the strap dry faster.

Full-automatic electronic lighting, showing a bunch of bright digital watches at night, has caused a revolution in watching time. Early electronic watches had many shortcomings, one of which was that they could not look at the time at night.

In order to solve this problem, early G-SHOCK watches all had a dim light to illuminate the LCD screen from the side of the case. Although dim light is better than nothing, you must choose the right angle of view to see the numbers on the LCD screen clearly.

The DW-6000 series introduced by 1990 is the first G-SHOCK instrument with low light illumination. Casio tried hard to study the lighting method of digital watches, and finally found a scheme of electronic lighting with alternating current.

This electron fluorescence illuminates the LCD screen from the bottom, so the visibility is greatly improved. 1994 introduced the famous DW-6600 series, which was first illuminated by color (blue) electronic fluorescence.

Casio also released several models developed according to the principle of DW-6900 series. There are interesting animations on these models.

Since then, the G seismograph has become a household name, and everyone knows that the sales volume has soared. 1995: completely rustproof. Everyone knows that G-SHOCK rice with high waterproof, dustproof and mud resistance can be bought, but there is no complete guarantee for rust prevention.

Since the introduction of Fisherman DW-8600 series, the problem of rust prevention has been completely solved. This kind of watch is for people who deal with the ocean.

Therefore, all the important functions related to the ocean are completely available, such as tide chart, sunrise/sunset time and so on. Rust prevention is also a very important performance of this watch. Fisherman is highly rust-proof because it uses titanium.

This light metal will not rust and will not cause allergic reactions. Titanium has also been used in Frogman /DW-8200 series before.

However, DW-8600.

7. What is the history of Baoluhua watches? The founder of Baoluhua Watch is a young man who immigrated to the United States, Joseph Baoluhua, so the brand name of the watch is also named Baoluhua.

19 1 1 year, the desktop clocks and pocket watches sold by baoluhua watches caused great repercussions, and many consumers came here to buy them, so the sales volume was very considerable. So in the second year, there was a Swiss watchmaking factory specializing in the production of Baoluhua watches. At that time, people thought that although desktop clocks and pocket watches were accurate, their portability could not meet people's needs. So Baoluhua and 19 19 began to produce watches that can be worn on the wrist, referred to as watches.

Therefore, Baoluhua began to create and develop more and more types, and then launched men's watches in the same year, which was favored by male consumers. Later 1924 introduced the ladies' series. In order to design the exquisite appearance of ladies' watches, Baoluhua began to add diamonds to the decoration of watches.

From then on, Baoluhua began to produce radio alarm clocks, electronic fixed clocks and satellite clocks. , and won a lot of praise and honor.

8. The History of Casio1In March 1995, two joint ventures were established in Guangdong Province, China: Casio Electronics (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd. and Casio Electronics (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., the former producing and selling electronic keyboards, and the latter producing and selling scientific calculators and electronic organizer. This paper introduces the QV- 10 LCD digital camera.

1April 1998, the megapixel digital camera QV-5000SX went on sale.

Casio Singapore Co., Ltd. was established in April, 20001,and received an order for Let'sPhoto for digital cameras. In August, Casio Microelectronics Co., Ltd. was listed on Jastak Stock Exchange.

In June 2002, EXILIM, the world's first card-sized ultra-thin LCD digital camera, went on sale.

In March 2003, EXILIMZOOMEX-Z3, a light digital camera, went on the market.

In March 2004, the long-life digital camera EXILIMZOOMEX-Z30/Z40 went on sale.

In April, 2004, we established a joint venture with Hitachi-Casio Hitachi Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. to develop mobile phones. The highest model of EXILIM series, EXILIMPROEX-P600, 6 million pixel CCD, is introduced.

9. Historical evolution of electronic watches Electronic watches appeared in the 1950s and have gone through four generations.

The first generation is called pendulum electronic watch (driven by electromagnetic balance wheel, not clockwork). This watch was developed in Switzerland on 1959, and it was made by using the mature experience and exquisite technology in the production of hairspring.

The second generation is called tuning fork electronic watch. 1960, the United States developed a tuning fork electronic watch.

This is a preliminary attempt to combine electronic technology with precision machining. The processing requirements and assembly adjustment process of this kind of watch are more difficult than that of mechanical watches, so it was replaced by the rapidly developing third and fourth generation electronic watches and was popularized.

The third generation is called pointer crystal electronic watch. Crystal is a common name for seasonality.

1930 made the world's first quartz clock. In 1960s, the development of semiconductor integrated circuits made it possible for crystals to be used in watch industry.

1969, Japan developed a timely electronic watch. The fourth generation is called LCD electronic watch, also called full electronic watch or solid-state watch.

In 1970s, Switzerland, Japan and other countries developed a timely electronic watch with liquid crystal display (the numbers are displayed directly on the dial). It is an all-electronic watch, without any moving parts, and its internal structure uses integrated circuits to make it keep time more accurate. This kind of watch was put on the market on 1973.

Then came the multifunctional digital electronic watch. The fifth generation is called a radio watch. The main body of a radio watch consists of an atomic clock and a radio receiving system. The National Time Service Center gives accurate time, and the radio receiving system is connected with a watch that can automatically tell the time.

Since Casio released the first radio watch (FKT- 100) in 1995, by May 2007, the global cumulative sales of radio watches had exceeded10 million. The watt-hour meter has a built-in small antenna, which has high sensitivity and can receive standard radio waves for automatic time synchronization, so it can achieve time accuracy.

Internationally, Germany, Britain, the United States and Japan have sent standard radio waves. In July, 2007, the newly-built radio transmission tower in Shangqiu, Henan, China began to emit radio waves.
