Last week, Mr. Ibe, the engineering genius behind Casio’s G-SHOCK has set foot in Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur for the launch of the brand’s latest timepiece MRG-G2000HT, a limited edition model of its flagship MR-G series in Malaysia.
With a limited run of 500 watches worldwide, the MRG-G2000HT features a metal plate at the 10 o’clock position embossed with ‘2017 LIMITED’ and a unique serial number engraved on the back case, further denoting its limited edition status.
Casio’s cutting edge MR-G series is G-SHOCK’s premium collection which boasts intricate Japanese craftsmanship reflected on the timepiece through its collaboration with Bihou Asano, a third-generation master artisan in the field.
The unique handmade patterns can be seen on the bezel and centre row of the band through the use of the Japanese Tsu-i-ki technique; a traditional craft method that creates a patterned finish of overlapping hammered lines through hammering.
The new MRG-G2000HT features a Connected Engine 3-Way system which will automatically updates the watch’s internal data on time zones and daylight savings time (DST) from a smartphone, keeping it updated at all times.
What’s more, the watch can also receive both radio wave and GPS satellite time calibration signals while connected to the internet or by pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth connectivity.
Interested? Head over to your nearest The Hour Glass or Casio outlets to view the limited edition timepiece.
