"Know, oh horological elitist, that between the years when the markets shrank from Swiss watches and it's hand made mechanical wonder, and the years of the rise of Swatch, there was an age undreamed of, when ugly but affordable plastic and iron watches lay spread across the world like digital analogue interface beneath the stars - Seiko and its innovative yet economical features, Citizen and its reliability, Timex and its robustness, to name but a few. Hither came Casio with the G-Shock, durable, elements resistant, solar powered battery reserve and outlandish technologies, with gigantic square melancholies and gigantic diameter face, to thread the watch market and the industry jeweled face under its resin strap."
