It began with a reckless challenge to the conventional wisdom of the day. A developer’s belief that it was possible to construct a watch that wouldn’t break, even if dropped. Project Team Tough was formed to build it in 1981.

Golden State is proud to partner with Casio G-SHOCK for these two exclusive episodes of Out of Office.
