DNA day and Watson history

DNA day and Watson history

🧬 April 25 – DNA Day

In 1953, we learned something that changed everything:
DNA is a double helix. Two strands, endlessly twisting — elegant, efficient, and universal.

It wasn’t just a biological breakthrough.
It was a new lens for understanding life itself — from inherited traits to genetic diseases, from crime scenes to family trees.
A single structure, holding the code for everything from cats to coral reefs.

Every April 25, we celebrate the molecule that gave us modern biology.
We’re still discovering what it can do.


🏭 Around the same time, in Kobe…

In 1951, a small rubber molding factory named Fukae was founded.
It had no labs, no genomes, and no idea a scientific revolution was unfolding.
But it had something else: a drive to make better things, one shape at a time.

🔬 Decades later… came Watson

In 1988, we launched our own brand — Watson.
Not a discovery, but a quiet contribution: lab tools for people who study DNA and everything around it.
Built in Kobe. Used worldwide.
