Casio America is gearing up for COUTURE 2025 (June 4–8), the premier event for luxury jewelry and timepiece design, where G-Shock will spotlight its latest MR-G innovations. Known for merging advanced engineering with refined materials, the MR-G line exemplifies G-Shock’s commitment to durability, precision and elegance.

Among the newest models on display are the MRGB2100R-2A, MRGB2100B-1A and MRGB2100D-1A. These pieces draw inspiration from kigumi, a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that assembles structures without nails. The titanium cases and bracelets showcase intricate patterns that echo kigumi joinery, while Sallaz polishing and sapphire crystals add a high-end finish. Each model blends G-Shock’s iconic shock resistance and solar-powered functionality with subtle, artisanal details.

Also featured will be the MRGB5000B-1 and MRGB5000D-1, digital icons that pay homage to the first G-Shock silhouette. Crafted from lightweight yet incredibly strong titanium and finished with the same meticulous polishing techniques, these models elevate the original design into the luxury segment. By combining G-Shock’s heritage with premium materials and artisanal craftsmanship, the MR-G collection continues to redefine what a high-end sports watch can be.

This year, Casio is also unveiling “Making Art with MR-G,” an initiative that invites contemporary artists to reinterpret the MR-G ethos. For COUTURE 2025, acclaimed urushi lacquer artist Genta Ishizuka has created a one-of-a-kind lacquer piece inspired by the MRGB2100B. Forged from a Japanese alloy called Cobarion—four times harder than pure titanium—this latest MR-G model provided the creative spark for Ishizuka’s handcrafted work. Future collaborations are already in the works, promising fresh intersections between art, technology and design.

G-Shock’s presence at COUTURE 2025 marks a turning point for the brand, showcasing its evolution from a symbol of toughness to a serious contender in luxury watchmaking. By combining cutting-edge materials, precision movements and artisanal finishing, G-Shock is redefining collector expectations and carving out a unique space at the crossroads of engineering and elegance.
