CASIO G-SHOCK x Maharishi MUDMASTER Limited Edition Watch GWG-1000MH-1A

Maharishi Tie-up Model

Introducing the third release of models that are the result of collaboration between G-SHOCK and the English fashion brand maharishi, whose products are favorites as pacifist military and work fashion items.
Designer Hardy Blechman selected the MUDMASTER (GWG- 1000) as the base model because its special features let it stand up to the challenges encountered in a desert or jungle, or just about any other extreme environment.
The band design is based on the new DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) British Bonsai Forest Jungle Camouflage pattern, which is maharishi's collection theme for 2016.
The black ion plated band ring is decorated with the maharishi brand name, and the back cover is impressed with the brand logo. The lettering of the bezel is dark green, while the hour markers, second hand, and small dial elements are accented with flight jacket lining orange.
The original design of the special package further accents the unique nature of this model.
• Mud resist structure
• Vibration resistant structure
• Barometric pressure/altitude, bearing, temperature readings
• Double LED light illuminates the face and digital display for high readability
• Screw-in crown
• Auto hand position correction

Maharishi

Maharishi was started in 1994 by Englishman Hardy Blechman, a well-known London military item collector.
Since then it has continued to release original camouflage and other items that helped it gain fame as a core brand that is being worn by people throughout the entire fashion world. A distinctive feature of this brand is the use of the latest technology to create original designs. Made using the finest materials and attractive patterns, maharishi is the clothing brand of choice of celebrities around the globe.

A special vibration-resistant construction lets them stand up to wear while operating cutters, crushers, drills and other heavy machinery to clear away large obstacles. This is Casio’s first analogue watch to come with Mud Resist construction, which helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch when down and dirty work takes you deep into the dirt and sludge. Multiple gaskets are used on the pipes that guide buttons and shafts, which keeps mud out. These pipes not only act to protect buttons from impact, they also enhance button operation. The screw-in force of the screw lock bezel on an internal gasket further increases mud resistance. A new bezel structure lets you visually check whether the bezel has been screwed in adequately.

In addition, Triple Sensor Version 3 capabilities provide instant access to direction, barometric pressure, and temperature information when needed under tough conditions. The face of the watch is marked with large numerals as 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock for easy reading. The face is illuminated by a double LED light and protected by a sapphire crystal to ensure high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable.

The band surface is processed to resemble a cloth band texture, and the hour and minute hands are shaped with points that make them resemble warning markers. All buttons have a checkered surface for surer operation, and the overall design is tough and rugged.

Limited Edition Takashi Murakami x Casio G-SHOCK Frogman Watch - GWF1000TM

Minggu lepas ada bebarapa member bozzo yang bertanyakan pasal jam keramat ni. Nama dia Takashi Murakami X Casio G-Shock GWF1000TM. Jam ini memang limited edition dan harga pun memang boleh beli sebijik Vios. Silalah layan baca dan layan mata. Kalau tak cukup besar boleh klik kat gambar tu bagi lagi besar. Dianggarkan harga sekarang adalah UDS22,999.00. Di Malaysia pada 2 tahun lepas bozzo ada terbaca yang sebijik telah terjual kepada kolekter dari Johor dengan harga RM80,000.00. Fuhhh....

Why is this frogman so expensive?

This piece was designed by a famous artist Takashi Murakami. He make artworks that people have paid millions for so the price reflects that. It is desired by some art collectors who will only display it in its beautiful display case/box as a work of art by Murakami (this is reflected by the fact Casio never made any spare resin for it). Very few G-Shock collectors can compete with those crazy art lovers...So it is out of reach for most of us who can only dream of it. It was limited to 300 pieces. It debuted at $3000 in 2010 so now 7 years later maybe someone can pay that extreme price.

These came out in Japan in the summer of 2010 and was exclusively sold trough the Takashi Love store. 198 of them numbered 2-200 (01 was kept by Takashi himself) was sold in Japan for $3600. Thanks to the effort of Tyko Moon, 98 of them was released in the fall of 2010 in the US numbered 201-298. And they retailed for $3800-$4000 in places like Tourneau, Flight Club and some Macy stores.

2 of them where apparently sold in a watch store in Versailles France (presumably 299-300). Takashi was supposed to have exhibited the watch at an art exhibition in Versailles Palace. But he was prevented because the art exhibitor thought his watch would steal to much attention from another watch that was also at the exhibition (The Takashi G sure has super power appeal to cause such action be taken against it he he) 

The original plan was to exhibit one and sell one at an exclusive watch store (can not remember its name tough), so if people at the exhibition asked where to buy one he could refer to that store. But since he was not allowed to exhibit it, both watches ended up at that store.

This watch was not aimed at the G community, it is more of an art piece sold as an artwork intended mostly for display purposes in a nice display case or cup board. So mostly for Takashi Murakami collectors or cup board collectors ( a very common collector type in Japan). Some of Murakamis art work have been sold for millions. So perhaps this watch is a good investment for the future, who knows...

No siri terpaksa digelapkan atas sebab-sebab keselematan. Simpan katak jelly merah ni dah sama cam simpan Porshe 914. Kena sorok.

Anyway they seem to still go for around $22,999.99, last week one sold at that price on eBay.
