Casio B640WB-1BEF digital watch

Casio is a cornerstone of the global horology and electronics industry, renowned for its innovation and durability. Founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1946 by Tadao Kashio, the brand gained international fame for its digital timepieces, calculators, and musical instruments. The watch featured in the image is a classic Casio digital model, part of their heritage collection that marries retro aesthetics with modern functionality.

While Casio is a Japanese company deeply rooted in Japanese engineering and design, its manufacturing footprint is global. Most of their mass-market digital watches are produced in facilities located in Thailand and China to maintain competitive pricing and high production volume, though higher-end models are still manufactured at their flagship plants in Japan. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Casio Computer Co., Ltd., maintaining its independence as a major multinational electronics corporation headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo.
