NIGO® Brings Fresh Characters to G-SHOCK


 CASIO Computer Co., Ltd. has unveiled a groundbreaking global collaboration between its legendary shock-resistant brand G-SHOCK and internationally renowned creator NIGO®. This project introduces a lineup of original characters designed by NIGO®, each inspired by G-SHOCK’s most celebrated models — merging decades of watchmaking innovation with street culture artistry.


 Characters with Attitude


The collaboration reimagines four signature G-SHOCK models as bold characters that embody the brand’s philosophy of toughness and resilience:

🕹️DW-5000 → the square-faced original, a tribute to G-SHOCK’s very first design.
🕹️DW-6900 → instantly recognizable with its three circular digital displays.
🕹️GA-2100 → sleek with its octagonal bezel, loved for its minimalist yet edgy look.
🕹️GA-110 → oversized and dimensional, a statement of power and presence.


The new characters — including Goro Rock and Duno Wang-Teng — are brought to life with vibrant coloring and unique detailing, reflecting NIGO®’s deep cultural roots and signature creative vision.


Each character is a symbol of courage, representing those who take on challenges without fear of failure — the same enduring spirit that defines G-SHOCK.


🌐 Digital Storytelling & Logo


A dedicated special website has been launched, complete with immersive visuals and upcoming animated stories that showcase these characters in action.

Adding to the project’s identity is a bespoke logo, “NIGO: G-SHOCK”. The colon (:) at its center mirrors the digital clock’s hour-minute separator, symbolizing the unbroken bond between G-SHOCK’s legacy of precision and NIGO®’s timeless creative voice.


👑 The Visionary Behind the Art


NIGO®, a pioneer of global street fashion, rose to prominence in the 1990s with his trend-defining brand that reshaped the cultural landscape. In 2010, he founded HUMAN MADE, expanding his influence through countless creative collaborations.


Since 2021, NIGO® has served as Artistic Director at KENZO, bringing fresh perspectives to the LVMH-owned maison. In January 2025, he unveiled a highly anticipated collaborative collection for LOUIS VUITTON with Pharrell Williams, cementing his role as one of today’s most influential tastemakers.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Welcomes New Artist in Residence

Teang Borin, popularly known as ‘DinArt’, is an audacious, self-taught artist whose work captures and exalts the essence of Cambodia’s rich religious and societal heritage. His latest exhibition, inspired by the majesty of Khmer royalty and the distinguished colour palette of the Raffles Royal Doorman, features vivid, brilliant hues often set against a stark backdrop. “The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer royalty, specifically focussing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons. Historically, the colour of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance,” said curator Nat Di Maggio of the local Tribe Art Gallery.
