G-Shock Watches

Taking Toughness to the Limit

G-SHOCK, the watch that brought the new concept of toughness to the timepiece.

It began with a reckless challenge to the conventional wisdom of the day, a developer’s belief that it was possible to construct a watch that wouldn’t break, even if dropped. Project Team Tough was formed to build it in 1981.The team created over 200 prototypes one after another over a period of about two years. They finally arrived at a shock-resistant structure. This marked the birth of a technology that is tough to the core.

About G-Shock

ICONS ARE BUILT OVER TIME

From Shepherd’s Bush to the world stage, two things have stayed consistent: Central Cee’s relentless pursuit of greatness. And the brand on his wrist.

Time moves forward, but legacies endure. The future belongs to those who are #BuiltDifferent.
