origami G-SHOCK watches by casio let users feel washi paper texture around bezel
Casio has unveiled a new series of G-SHOCK watches inspired by origami, allowing wearers to experience the texture of traditional washi paper around the bezel and band. These timepieces celebrate Japan's cultural heritage, particularly the Oshōgatsu New Year celebration, by incorporating the tactile grain of washi into their design. The watches feature a fibrous texture molded from polymer, with dotted line graphics mimicking the visual guides found in origami diagrams. This design choice not only enhances the aesthetic but also pays tribute to the craftsmanship of origami. The G-SHOCK watches also showcase symbolic elements, such as the crane, which appears on the display and the case back, representing longevity and peace. The crisp lines of the watch become more pronounced in light, enhancing the overall design. Even the packaging reflects the origami theme, echoing the colors and textures of washi paper. Each aspect of the watch, from the bezel and band to the packaging, is carefully designed to incorporate origami details, creating a cohesive and culturally rich product.
