Whittled Timber Time Pieces

WOOD SHOCK is a Naturally Carved Version of the Casio G-Shock 6900

— November 16, 2012 — Fashion
Wood Shock turns the Casio G-Shock 6900 wristwatch into a stylishly altered oak timepiece.

The Casio watch is known for its bulky rugged aesthetic; able to keep the time even when being knocked about by a careless wrist. These watches use a natural wood face that is carved by hand. Fine lettering replaces the G-Shock logo at the top with W-Shock, and designates what the adjustable buttons on each side control. The smooth finish of the wood allows it to be beautifully painted in a variety of tones, so you could end up with a camouflage or even the green and red that is normally associated with the Gucci logo.

The WOOD SHOCK watches come packaged in an attractive pine box enclosure.
