EP17: Interview with the Godfather

We're back! After an extra week pause for the Thanksgiving holiday, the boys are back on the mics for a very special interview with none other than Kikuo Ibe, the inventor and godfather of the G-Shock. Word on the street is that while Mr. Ibe has given plenty of interviews in his native Japan, this is the first time he's been on a podcast in the United States, and we're very lucky to have him. In this episode, he shares a little insight into the inspiration and development of the iconic G-Shock, and also shares his own favorite watch – it's one you just don't want to miss, so tap in! —— Here are the G-Shock watches featured in this week's episode:  • Rob's pick: G-Shock MRG-B2000⁠ "Kachi-Iro" • Russ' pick: G-Shock 40th Anniversary Full Carbon • Zach's pick: ⁠G-Shock Full Metal "Virtual Armor II" GMW-B5000TVB-1⁠ • Mr. Ibe's pick: G-Shock GW-M5600 (Black)
