To celebrate the Casio Watch’s 50th anniversary, the Japanese cult brand brings back the very first ring watch. Both practical and playful, the head-turning watch expresses Casio’s uniqueness and originality, and doesn’t compromise on even the smallest detail:
To create the 3-button digital watch that fits on a finger, Casio downsized the standard watch module by a factor of 10 and combined it with a small button battery – and even at this small size, the watch features a 7-segment LCD that displays not only the time down to the second, but also the date, dual time, and stopwatch functionality. Using metal injection molding (MIM), the case, case back, and ring are molded in one piece, with even the dimpled design on the band faithfully reproduced.
A special glass adhesive technique ensures a tight seal for a watch built to be water-resistant while still allowing the battery to be replaced. And if you preset the time of your choice, the ring watch gives off a subtle, flashing light – not only handy for keeping time, but also a poetic nod to the fleeting twinkle of time.
The strictly limited Casio ‘CRW-001-1’ ring watch releases at BSTN on Wednesday, January 22nd. Pick up yours via the button below before it’s gone!
