Casio has teamed up with a Kyoto foil master to create a luxurious G-SHOCK watch, priced at 1.1 million yen and limited to 800 pieces worldwide. The exclusive MRG-B2100HR-1A draws inspiration from kigumi wood joinery design and hand-dusted platinum, blending ancient Japanese artistry with modern engineering. The concept of haruka, representing timeless strength and boundless duration, is at the heart of the watch's design.
Using traditional kigumi woodworking technique, watchmakers craft a three-dimensional lattice dial without nails or adhesives. Renowned metal leaf artist Hiroto Rakusho, an officially designated Traditional Craftsman, hand-decorates each dial with platinum leaf using sunago technique, resulting in an uneven distribution of platinum that creates unique brilliance and gradation on every watch.
The bezel and strap feature structural color technology, mimicking the iridescence of butterfly wings and mineral crystals through micron-level laser texturing. The MRG-B2100HR-1A merges Kyoto craftsmanship and modern engineering into a wearable piece of art that embodies the spirit of haruka.
