Casio G-Shock x LRG - 10th Anniversary Frogman

The Lifted Research Group (LRG) celebrates ten years of making it and establishing itself as a major player of the industry with none other than Casio’s G-Shock. The 10th Anniversary is marked with a collaborative Frogman, a specialized technical diver’s watch from the Japanese digital maker.
With the iconic asymmetrical look of the Frogman, the watch is finished off in a clean white base with orange accents and features specific functions such as a Dive Log. The LRG G-Shock Frogman is limited to 1,000 worldwide, and for those who can shell out $600, they are available online via Primitive.

Casio G-Shock X LRG - DW-6900 2009 Edition

Casio G-Shock had previously collaborated with Lifted Research Group (LRG) to create matt Obama-blue DW-6900 with red accents earlier on in May (and two more collab models prior to this). Now, the team is back with a new colorway - a bright yellow DW-6900 with green and white accents (signature of LRG) and “RESEARCH” in white printed over the bottom strap.
We predict this will become a fast sold-out item just like the previous collaborations, so tune in for more release information and update. As for those interested in something other than the classic DW-6900, the two brands also recently released a 10th Anniversary collaboration Frogman.

Sport watch Concept by - Max Germano

It fits across the back-of-the-palm and its selling points are easy access to the dial, and a clear view to the heart-rate, stats etc. The flip-side is that it could compromise the grip of the racket or whatever it is that you are holding as the straps may interfere. However, since the watchband is made from super-soft elastomer, it just may-be comfy.

Botta Design UNO Automatic Watch

Simplicity in its purest form, the Uno Automatic features only a single hand on top of a clean black or white face. Only the hour hand is present marking exactly how far it is between one hour and the next, eliminating the need for clutter and excess information.
While simple in terms of design the watches takes seven days to assemble precisely by hand to assure high quality movement. The stainless steel dial features an angled scale ring which ensures optimal readability.

Alarm! Date! Time! and Chronograph! which is such a fancy word for “stopwatch” that my unsophisticated self had to look it up.

The 12 dots represent hours (months in date mode) and the row below counts minutes. Housed in stainless steel with an LCD display, the watch has an EL backlight, leather straps and a stainless steel buckle. It is 35 x 35 x 10mm with 28mm wide band.
