Mr. Kikuo Ibe is the legendary Japanese engineer who created the iconic G-SHOCK watch. After breaking a cherished timepiece from his father, Mr. Ibe set out to design a watch that could withstand anything. His vision of “Absolute Toughness” led to the first G-SHOCK in 1983, redefining durability in watchmaking worldwide. At Windup, Mr. Ibe will share his personal story behind the creation of G-SHOCK and discuss his ongoing challenges and new pursuits. A postcard and product signing opportunity will be available immediately after his presentation.
