G-Shock ‘Shock The World’ Kuala Lumpur 2013 Collaboration Watches

G-Shock Joe Chia Collaboration Watch

G-Shock X Joe Chia RM599 (DW-6900 model)

The inspiration behind the watch is parallel to that of our new our new SS14 Collections – Chapter 03. Deliquescent, we say – to disappear as if by melting. With our signature monotonous colour palette and geometrical lines, we have created gradient and disappearance from basic lines, bringing a twist and modern edge to the ordinary melting scene by Joe Chia.

G-Shock Irman Hilmi Collaboration Watch 

G-Shock X Irman Hilmi RM599 (GD 100 model)

The main motif is based on radio wavelengths of the first pulsar ever observed, then dubbed CP1919. Though the motif was famously used by Peter Saville for Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album, the actual image itself came from an American scientific journal in 1971 which was published without a copyright. The seemingly random motif has been made famous since, and various re-interpretations of it exists, with this watch being an obvious homage to the original image.
