Casio choose menswear designer Robert Geller for its first ever G-Steel collaboration. The new G-Shock X Robert Geller G-STEEL is a limited edition model inspired by the Tokyo cityscape. The black ion plated stainless steel metal band, case and buttons, with gold accents on the face and a dark fuchsia second hand are nods to Geller’s recent collection and meant to evoke the Tokyo city lights against the buildings at night.
“My favorite time in Tokyo is walking through the city in the middle of the night, when it is impossible to sleep because of the jet lag,” said Geller. “The lights, smells and sounds are really magical and I wanted this watch to reflect that magic.”
“I have been working with G-SHOCK for several years, and was very pleased when we decided to create a watch together. I wore a G-SHOCK watch throughout my teenage years, so it is really exciting to be able to make my own, more grown up version,” said Robert Geller. “For the past ten years, I have been producing my ready to wear collection in Japan because I love the quality and care of Japanese craftsmanship. G-SHOCK shares this same love, which is why this collaboration is a natural fit for us.”
The new G-Shock X Robert Geller G-STEEL GST200RBG-1A ($420.00) is available now at gshock.com.
