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!
