Casio turns its attention to history with the latest timepiece -- the MRGB2100B-1A. This is the latest addition to the brand's G-SHOCK Mr G series. It is inspired by the traditional Japanese practice of intricate wood joinery known as kigumi. It is fitted to the wrist comfortably and has a full-metal construction at the exterior that is created from elevated materials.
All of the features are done by hand with intricate detail by master craftspeople. This ensures that the finished product is sophisticated and the silhouette is polished before it is assembled to truly spotlight the fine details. The dial's design celebrates the art of kigumi specifically as the corrugated base is painted with intricate openings that create a geometric pattern.
