G-shock recently announced that it is launching a new collection of timepieces featuring a flame-like dial.

And the good thing about this collection is that it comes with a strap with a smoke-like hue to complement the dial. Think of the dial as the ‘cause’ and the strap as the ‘effect’ of what’s burning.

Since different types of flames burn in different colors, the G-shock flame series is also available in multiple colors. While the GA-2100FL-1A and GA-100FL-1A have a blue dial to depict the nature of high-burning flames, the GA-2100FL-8A and GA-100FL-8A have an orange dial.

The GA-100FL-1A has three purple-like subdials that effectively accent other shades on the dial, giving the whole timepiece a flame-like look.

Even though the GA-100FL-1A and GA-2100FL-1A are equipped with a blue dial, they have different hues.

The upper section of GA-2100FL-1A’s dial has a purplish shade to highlight different sections of a blue flame. Unlike the GA-100FL-1A, this timepiece has two subdials only.

When it comes to low-temperature flames, the GA-2100FL-8A and GA-100FL-8A depict how such flames look with a two-toned dial. The bottom section of the dial is deep red, while the top section is characterized by a light orange hue.

These new G-shock watch models were rolled out in Japan first, but they will also be introduced into other markets.

G-shock has yet to provide clear release dates. However, the models might be available for shipping by the end of the year.

Richard Mille dips its toes into gothic style with the latest sapphire model
A new gothic Richard Mille
Richard Mille RM 75-01

Richard Mille debuts another Sapphire model, RM 75-01, available in three colors (pink, green, and blue). It merges two styles—gothic and aqua aesthetics—into one, creating a balance between maximalism and minimalism. While the gothic style is highlighted by the open-work dial, the casing is reminiscent of water’s fluidity thanks to the casing’s transparent look. Think of it as an option that also creates a balance between aesthetics and mechanical precision.

One of the most striking details of this new model is the ‘flying’ architecture. Richard Mille removed components, like the tourbillon’s bridge plate, to create space—this makes it easier to enjoy the mechanical views. The tourbillon and barrel are cleverly suspended to take the aesthetics to the next level with the ‘flying’ layout.

Timex revives a 1970s classic with a modern twist in new Bespoke Post collab
A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.
