The Casio G-SHOCK x Maison Kitsuné timepiece has been debuted as a collaboration between the rugged watch brand and the streetwear brand as a decidedly chic yet durable accessory.
The watch comes in the form of the Casio G-SHOCK 2100, which has been elevated with a variety of accents that nod to Maison Kitsuné. This includes an orange and gold color scheme that's described as being natural and neutral with an inspiration that comes from Haussmannian architecture. The decidedly cherry aesthetic will thus call to mind the glow of the setting sun.
The Casio G-SHOCK x Maison Kitsuné timepiece is engineered for 200-meters of water resistance and features the recognizable fox as the indicator for the day of the week. The watch is available now for €180.
