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. This stunning edition is a modern masterpiece – perfectly crafted for those who respect resilience and elegance. 

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.

The MRG-B5000HT is not only a gorgeous timepiece; it comes packed with state-of-the-art components that help it stand out among the field. 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.

With only 300 pieces available worldwide, the MRG-B5000HT is an exclusive masterpiece blending artisanal craftsmanship, the latest technology, and dynamic aesthetics – must-haves for the serious watch aficionado.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge
Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help
Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend

Shinola’s new blacked-out Mackinac Night Race revives a rare sailing complication
The Detroit brand's new limited edition puts a one-of-a-kind forged carbon dial on a yacht timer — the countdown built for sailboat starts.
Wristwatch, Arm, Rope

Shinola has made watches about Detroit, about the Apollo program, and about a lake monster. Its newest one is about a sailboat race, and damn, is it good-looking.

The Detroit-based brand is launching the Mackinac Night Race, a limited edition built around the yacht timer — the countdown complication used to time the start of a sailing race, aka one of watchmaking's more specialized tricks. The name nods to the Great Lakes maritime history the watch draws on (so not technically an official race tie-in).

The West is a statement look with TAFT’s new edit
TAFT Longhorn collection gives you a stylish look with a little western flare
Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

One of the most iconic ways a man can stand out is to make a statement with his style. Now, this isn't as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, if a man doesn't know what he is doing when he goes to make a statement, he goes overboard. Colors, patterns, textures, they can all work together or battle each other out for attention and cause problems. For instance, wearing a bright color combined with a crazy pattern can make you look more like an optical illusion than a stylish man. You look like you are cosplaying The Joker instead of methodically piecing together pieces that are working together to give an outfit depth. One of the tricks I have always loved to incorporate with my looks is a statement shoe. A typical everyday outfit can be elevated easily with a shoe standing out with color or pattern. One of my favorite brands to go to when I want to do that is TAFT. They are the best in the game for a statement shoe, and their new edit is a way to capitalize on that idea.
