Casio has officially unveiled a new collaboration with Singaporean contemporary artist, Jahan Loh.
Together, they have launched the limited-edition G-SHOCK DW-5600JAH24-4, available exclusively in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and China.
The base model is the classic and iconic digital watch model, DW-5600, well known for its simple square design, originating from the original G-SHOCK line-up in the 1980s. The watch design features a bold red colour, inspired by Jahan Loh’s latest works, and it comes in specially-designed packaging that highlights the collaboration’s unique nature.
Unique Watch Design
The watch boasts a bold red base, and the words ‘Dragon Disruptive Pattern’ with special drawings on the face of the watch. Distinctive design accents decorate the watch strap, inspired by elements of Jahan’s personal stories.
These design accents draw inspiration from the dragon, Jahan’s birth year, and a unique interweaving pattern that reflects his thoughts on his journey through time, cascading back and forth between a futuristic vision and connection to the past.
Final touches include Jahan’s signature logo engraved into the caseback, and the distinctive patterns on the special packaging, making it a coherent theme throughout.
Watch Concept & Special Film Animation
The animation explores the relentless advancement of technology. In the West, humans have long been playing chess against AI, while in the East, they engage in Mahjong—a highly complex game, often likened to chess—where man competes against machine. Despite the rise of artificial intelligence, the human spirit and wisdom can out-manoeuvre AI’s algorithms with sudden, unexpected moves.
Much like the toughness of a G-SHOCK watch, human determination and wit will propel us forward into the future.
