“Kenya's watches and jewelry market is among the fastest growing in the continent. It is with this in mind that we are opening our second G-SHOCK store in Kenya and the first in Mombasa,” said Takashi Seimiya. “As more and more Kenyans desire CASIO watches, as a company, we are committed to meeting the market demand and providing exceptional products, coupled with unmatched service delivery, as we continue to expand our presence in the Kenyan market,” added Takashi.
Takashi Seimiya also mentioned CASIO’s celebrations of 50 years of business in the watch industry, rooted in innovation, high quality, and genuine watches, as a motivation in expanding their footprint in Kenya and larger Africa.
“We believe the store will directly impact the county and national economies. For example, It was built by local companies in the county, supporting business growth locally. This shows CASIO’s commitment to impacting local economies positively,” noted Takashi Seimiya. “The opening of the Mombasa store is special as it boasts a modern and dynamic design that captures the essence of the G-SHOCK brand. It also marks our 50th anniversary for CASIO. Our heritage is founded on innovation, delivering high-quality, original, and genuine watches that not only capture the essence of timekeeping but also expand its possibilities.

Making his remarks at the opening event, Mr. Mohamed Arif, Managing Director TOP TIME SHOP, the authorized dealer for CASIO in Kenya, assured customers of genuine products even as the counterfeit menace continues to hurt business in Kenya.
“I am delighted to be the choice of CASIO authorized dealer in Mombasa. TOP TIME SHOP is a known and trusted dealer in the country that sells genuine products. “At the store, we will sell genuine CASIO watches, including G-SHOCK brand, Edifice, Protrek, and Sheen for men and women, offering a wide selection of elegant styles to suit individual tastes.”
CASIO opened its first G-SHOCK store in Nairobi last year, which has seen tremendous growth in the demand for genuine CASIO watches in the market. CASIO plans double digit growth every year in the next few years, growing its market share. During the first week, many surprises await all the visitors who shop at the store.
