Casio’s digital watches have always been more than just gadgets; they’re pop culture legends.

Born in the ‘70s and ‘80s, these bold, utilitarian timepieces were ahead of their time.

Remember “Back to the Future”? Of course you do. In it, Marty McFly and Doc Brown weren’t just rocking futuristic fashion—they were sporting Casio. That vintage A158WA-1A? It didn’t just tell time, it told a story. A story of nostalgia, innovation, and sheer coolness that would endure well beyond the movie’s iconic DeLorean.

Fast-forward to today, and they’re still making waves, proving that some styles don’t just fade into history—they become part of it.

Casio has found itself back in the spotlight, thanks to “Stranger Things”. The show’s 80s nostalgia tour made Casio watches cool again, connecting the brand to a whole new generation of fans.

Who knew that a simple digital display could be so full of cultural weight?

Last November, Casio celebrated its legacy with the Back In Time, Ahead In Style event at The Warehouse Talat Noi in Bangkok.

It was a three-day homage to everything Casio—a tribute to the classic A158, the quirky Casio Ring Watch, and fan favorites like the AQ240.

The event gathered a who’s-who of influencers, collectors, and the ever-growing Casio cult, all eager to admire an iconic watch that doesn’t just tell time, but captures it.

But this isn’t just about nostalgia. In a world where trends come and go, Casio’s digital designs remain timeless.

It’s a statement, a piece of history, and a wink at the future.
