Casio MW-240 Analog Watch

Casio is a world-renowned Japanese electronics brand founded in 1946 by Tadao Kashio. While the company gained early fame for its revolutionary electronic calculators, it transitioned into the watch industry during the 1970s, becoming a pioneer in digital timekeeping. The MW series, shown in the image, represents Casio's line of simple, durable, and affordable analog watches that emphasize functional design and reliability.

Today, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. remains the ultimate owner of the brand. While the company is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, its manufacturing footprint is global. Most mass-market analog watches like the MW-240 are assembled in large-scale facilities in China or Thailand to maintain cost-efficiency, though certain high-end movements and specialized collections are still produced in Japan. The brand is managed directly through its regional subsidiaries across the globe.
