G-Shock MRGB5000HT-1 MR-G
Unleash the artistry of metalwork with a one-of-a-kind MR-G timepiece crafted with a unique hand-forged hammertone pattern and state-of-the-art metals.
The release of MR-G in 1996 brought to metal timepieces what the G-SHOCK revolution did for unbreakable watches. As the G-SHOCK flagship line, MR-G continues to push boundaries, staking out a unique and impactful presence on the timepiece scene.
The striking, limited-edition MRGB5000HT stands above, a veritable master class in metal craftsmanship. Each timepiece features a bezel and bracelet that are individually hand-hammered in a unique relief pattern by a master of the traditional tsuiki* hammering technique. The result is a stunningly rugged and original textural appearance.
The bezel and bracelet feature unique relief patterns realized with the traditional tsuiki hammering technique. In the world of tsuiki craftsmanship, the art lies in executing a pattern that is neither too regular, nor too chaotic — finding an organic rhythm that achieves the perfect balance for a unique and artistic finish, no two pieces exactly alike.
Each timepiece is hand-hammered by master tsuiki artisan Kazuya Watanabe, whose “fluctuating” yuragi hammering technique creates a powerful texture that is both impactful and satisfying. His subtle and exacting skill delivers a look and feel that cannot be replicated by machine.
The bezel and bracelet are not only beautifully textured with tsuiki, but also made with DAT55G, a special alloy that is three times harder than pure titanium. This extra-hard metal material is finished with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for significantly greater scratch- and abrasion-resistance.
* Tsuiki (literally, to shape with a hammer) is a traditional Japanese hammering technique used to shape metal. Different hammer blows and varying degrees of force are applied to create unique textured patterns that evoke the kind of warmth and individuality that only handcraftsmanship can achieve, with no two pieces the same. Used since ancient times to produce tea sets and ornaments, tsuiki is still regarded as a symbol of high art and sophisticated crafts in Japan today.
