Casio’s G-Shock line is widely respected for its exceptional durability and state-of-the-art technology since entering the luxury watch market and continues to uphold the brand’s penchant for elevation with the MRG-B5000HT, a timepiece embodying Japanese craftsmanship and innovation.

A bold design inspired by samurai heritage

The MRG-B5000HT takes its inspiration from the Japanese samurai sword, with a hammered Tsuiki-cho finish mimicking the handcrafted texture of ancient blades. The case and bracelet are made of premium titanium, ensuring lightweight durability that is coupled with a refined aesthetic. Deep crimson hue accents provide a stark contrast to the metallic tones and are an homage to traditional Japanese lacquerware. There are no shortcuts taken with any G-Shock models, and the construction of these timepieces has been curated to the finest details – from the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating to the screw-down case back. Meticulous craftsmanship lives and breathes throughout the MRG-B5000HT, and watch enthusiasts will be amazed by the talents of the artisans visible in each feature.

Prominent features include Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping which provides unparalleled accuracy by syncing with global atomic clocks, and Tough Solar charging system to harness the light to power the watch indefinitely. This elevated technology makes battery replacements unnecessary and as a result extends the life of the timepiece. Bluetooth connectivity provides seamless integration with smartphones for automatic time adjustments and world time updates, features that are important for those constantly on the go. The rugged aesthetic remains integral to this G-Shock release, yet the watch is wearable and extremely slim, making it the perfect accessory for weekend adventure or formal occasions.

Casio brings back its impossibly small ring watch
Second chance: Casio's miniature ring watch returns to American market
Casio Ring Watch CRW001-1

Casio announced the US restock of its Ring Watch CRW001-1 on July 1st, bringing back the small timepiece that sold out quickly after it came out in America in late 2024. The restock follows successful lottery sales in the UK and Japan, showing that people around the world want this digital watch that goes on a finger.
The Ring Watch CRW001-1 shows Casio's bold way of looking at wearable technology—it shrinks standard digital watch functions into a ring that measures only 25.2mm across and weighs 16 grams. Even though it is small, the timepiece keeps necessary features, including support for two time zones, a stopwatch that measures 1/100th of a second, and hourly flash alerts.
Casio US confirmed the July 1st restock on Instagram, saying the watch would only be available through the brand's online store, not in physical shops. Compared to the lottery systems in other places, American customers will buy the watch in the order they arrive—this might cause a lot of competition among people who collect things and those who like technology.
The small digital screen has a backlight so you can see it in different light. The stainless steel build makes it sturdy, even though it is small. The ring fits size 22 fingers (US 10.5, EU U), and you can adjust it down to size 19 (19mm inner diameter) or size 16 (18mm inner diameter).
The engineering needed to put normal digital watch parts into a ring shape shows how well they made it. The 1/100th second stopwatch is as exact as bigger Casio watches. Travelers who want to check the time without others knowing will like the two-time zone feature.
Casio did not say the exact restock time but told interested customers to sign up for email notifications about when it would be ready. That way may help manage the internet traffic while making sure serious buyers learn about buying chances in time.
The Ring Watch's appeal shows more people are interested in other types of wearable devices, not just ones worn on the wrist. Casio's good result with this unusual approach shows that people want new watch designs that question common ideas about what a watch should look like.
The quick sellout after the US launch, along with international lottery systems, suggests that collectors are very interested and that the watch might sell for more later. Casio has not said anything about more restocks in other places after the July 1st US availability, keeping the watch special.
This restock gives American buyers a second chance to get one of the most noticeable wearable technology releases of the year, bringing together Casio's history with digital watches and its push to make things very small.

Celadon Century Cloisonné collection: A masterful fusion of Chinese design and luxury horology
Celadon’s new Century Collection merges ancient Chinese cloisonné art with Swiss mechanical excellence in just eight pieces per design.
'Double Dragons' from the Celadon Century Cloisonné collection

The Celadon Century Cloisonné collection stands as a testament to horology, imbuing new life into the centuries old Chinese enamel technique known as cloisonné. To view these dials is to be witness to a diminutive masterpiece of ancient artistry, handcrafted by artisans layering vibrant glass pastes within delicate gold or silver wire partitions before exposing them to multiple high-temperature firings. The end result is nothing short of a marvel – a visually intoxicating display of color and light, featuring the collection's signature phoenix and dragon motifs. These stand as symbols of renewal and power in Chinese culture as they appear to float just above the dial's surface. This intense process requires more than 30 hours of labor for each dial, with no room for imperfections.

Swiss precision lies beneath the surface
