1. IBES Dream Watch

 Casio America Inc. is excited to announce a special one-of-a-kind AI-created timepiece to celebrate G-SHOCK’s 40^th anniversary, introducing the G-D001.

Designed to mark the milestone chapter for G-SHOCK, following 40 years of premium innovation, design, and durability, G-D001 challenges new and exciting frontiers for the brand. Inspired by “Break the Boundary” as the development theme, the new G-DOO1 follows the footsteps of its initial 2018 dream project, which celebrated the G-SHOCK 35^th anniversary.

Today, dream project #2 features innovative, exploratory use of generative design — a computer-aided design technique that uses AI to optimize the design process — for the watch’s exterior design. A full-metal, shock-resistant structure with a creatively original organic form was achieved using a process of co-creation between human developers and AI.

Eighteen-karat yellow gold is employed for the case, bezel, and band. Careful hand polishing is applied in meticulous detail by skilled craftsmen, down to the most challenging spots, giving the components a stunning luster with a look of both profundity and precision. Incorporating bumper components in organic forms, the face of the timepiece features a see-through, dial-less design that lets the internal mechanism show through plainly. Designed specifically for this one model alone, the movement employs a metal main plate, silicone cogwheels, and ruby bearings to enable hand rotation with greater precision.

To further commemorate the brand’s 40^th anniversary, the G-D001 features an exclusive package worthy of this monumental creation. With its toweresque form, incorporating a front cover designed to slide up to open and down to close, the case features an intricate openwork design adorned with the model numbers of past and present G-SHOCK timepieces. With an LED light housed inside, the display case can also be used to provide indirect lighting in interior spaces, creating a captivating ambiance of interwoven shadows and light projecting G-SHOCK history.

The G-D001 is a beautiful tribute to the “Father of G-SHOCK”, Mr. Ibe’s legacy and mission of embracing the challenge of continual evolution. With the launch of the first-ever Dream Product five years ago, and today with the launch of Dream Project #2 in 2023, for the 40^th the G-DOO1 continues to push the limits and reinforce G-SHOCK as a leader within the watch industry.

This timepiece comes equipped with G-SHOCK technology including:  

• Shock-resistant structure
• 200 meter water resistance
• Solar charging system
• Multiband 6 radio control
• Dual time
• Stopwatch
• Visibility assistance for dark locations (solar cell luminescence)

G-SHOCK G-D001 will be offered for sale as a charity item in an auction to be held by Phillips, one of the world’s foremost auction houses, on December 9 – 10, 2023 in New York. All proceeds will be donated to environmental organizations. For more details, please refer to the PHILLIPS website.

19. PINK RIBBON – BCRF

 Casio America, Inc. announced its donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) to support its mission to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research.

Ahead of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October 2023, G-SHOCK has donated $20,000 to BCRF in hopes of eradicating the disease. As a brand synonymous with toughness, G-SHOCK wanted to bring that same mindset to those living with the disease, and BCRF made for the perfect partner. G-SHOCK’s donation will fund 400 hours of lifesaving breast cancer research led by world-class BCRF investigators.

Since its founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has backed researchers who have been deeply involved in every major breakthrough in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and metastasis. As the most common cancer in American women, with about one in eight women (13 percent) developing invasive breast cancer in their lifetime, research is of the utmost importance. Though these statistics are staggering, G-SHOCK hopes its donation will help make the positive and necessary strides to render breast cancer a thing of the past.

“Breast cancer has long been a disease that has impacted many, and we are proud to be donating to BCRF’s decades-long research efforts to find a cure,” said Tadashi Shibuya, Vice President of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “Their dedication, care, and unwavering commitment are inspiring to all those affected. Know that G-SHOCK stands with you, and we are eagerly awaiting the day when breast cancer is behind us.”

Inviting all to join in on the cause, the timepiece brand is going pink this October, and all year round, with the introduction of the G-SHOCK GMAS2100P-4A and the GA2100P-1A, for women and men, respectively. The GMAS2100P-4A features an all-pink design for a bold representation of the wearers’ cause, whether they’re a breast cancer thriver, relative, friend, or simply wish to show their support. The GA2100P-1A’s all-black design with hints of pink throughout showcases a subtle, yet substantive reminder of those who are living with breast cancer.

• Shock Resistant Structure
• 200 Meter Water Resistance
