On the cutting edge of calculator evolution! Brief history of CASIO
CASIO has become famous among businesspeople worldwide. Before introducing the S100 model itself, let's learn more about the company's history.
The origins of CASIO are found in Kashio Seisakusho, which was founded in 1946. Four brothers, Tadao, Toshio, Kazuo, and Yukio Kashio, worked together to create a number of calculators using their respective areas of expertise.
In 1957, the company succeeded in developing the world's first compact purely electric (relay) calculator, the 14-A, and established CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. Their electronic desktop calculator, the 001, was launched in 1965 and was the first calculator with a memory function, making all calculations more efficient. Since then, they have continued to pioneer digital technology with the goal of "inventing products that meet the untapped needs of customers throughout the world." In that spirit, they continue to innovate to this day.
The S100 - uncompromising in design, materials, and functionality
Among all of CASIO's calculators, the S100 stands apart as their flagship model. Based on the concept of "pride in ownership and pleasure in use," this innovative calculator is produced to the highest standards in design, materials, and functionality. It created quite a stir when it was released in 2015. And in 2024, an exciting new model was born.
Yamagata CASIO, the CASIO Group's only manufacturing base in Japan, produces the S100. This cutting-edge production environment serves as a control center for CASIO production centers all over the world while crafting the highest quality products for global markets.
Thanks to this exacting development process, the S100 exudes an air of luxury unlike any calculator before it. The hairline-finished machined aluminum body's exquisite appearance invites being held. A diamond cut is applied to the outer edge, creating an elegant highlight. Everything from the visibility of the gorgeous LCD screen to the satisfying haptic feedback of each button press has been refined to the smallest detail.
High-quality packed into a compact size: the S100NB
Now, we'll explore the S100 series models in depth.
First up is the S100NB, which retains the high quality of the standard S100 but in a compact form. This new model was released in January 2024. Without compromising the vital elements of the S100 series, such as exquisite appearance and comfortable key touch, the S100 is compact enough to fit in the hand and highly portable. This model, as well as the S100X, which will be discussed later in this article, is available in two colors - black and blue - and can display 12 digits.
Perfect for working at a desk or in negotiations: the S100X
The second model we'll introduce is the S100X, which is designed specifically for working at a desk or in business negotiations. The inclined LCD screen ensures optimal visibility when working at a desk. Additionally, the stopper on the back provides better stability when the calculator is used on a flat surface.
Bring the joy of owning an S100 to your loved ones
The S100 has elevated the calculator, often viewed as a simple practical tool, to the level of a luxury item. The S100's biggest fans are those who are very particular about the products they purchase, like business owners and designers. Of course, businesspeople across the board, who use calculators every day, also rave about the S100. Every use feels luxurious, and the strikingly high quality is sure to make an impression during business meetings with important customers.
Not to mention, the exquisitely crafted S100 makes the perfect gift. Celebrate important milestones such as promotions or anniversaries with a practical and beautiful gift that expresses your heartfelt affection for your loved ones.
CASIO, which has been at the forefront of the evolution of calculators for more than half a century, poured all of its expertise and pride into the creation of the S100. In Japan, you can find these calculators at stationery stores, department stores, and some big box retailers, as well as on the CASIO ONLINE STORE. Feel the exhilaration of owning a premium calculator for yourself.
