Baby-G Launches 2 New Ranges Of Watches In Celebration Of 20th Anniversary

Hi Huneybees,

Casio Singapore is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and they have released a couple of new Baby-G watches. 

Launched as a sister brand to G-SHOCK, Casio’s popular line of shock resistant timepieces, the Baby-G inherits the same absolute toughness but in a smaller and more slender form suitable for ladies. Baby-G has gained immense popularity among young ladies since it was first introduced in the early 1990s and blazed a trail for digital watches to become an integral part of women’s fashion with its signature “Tough & Cute” concept and trendy colours. 

The first collection would be for the ardent fans of Baby-G and Korean pop sensation and face of Casio Baby-G brand, Girls Generation! The limited edition Baby-G BA-111GG range are already available in Singapore at a suggested retail price of SGD199.00.

The range comes in three stylish colours, black (BA-111GGA), green (BA-111GGB) and orange (BA-111GGC), with engraved back plates featuring the signatures of Girls’ Generation stars Yoona, Seohyun, Sooyoung, Tiffany, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Taeyeon, Jessica and Sunny.

The black multi-dimensional watch face of the unique BA-111GG range exudes a sophisticated avant-garde style with a contrasting pop of colour on the hands and dials. The watches are both shock and water resistant and sport resin bands for maximum comfort and durability.

Each watch comes packaged in a unique Girls’ Generation autographed box, together with a custom easel, making it a must-have collectors piece for all Baby-G fans.

The other release is the new Baby-G BGD-500 range sporting a nostalgic design of the classic Baby-G, DW-520. Paying tribute to the world’s first Baby-G, the BGD-500 range incorporates its simple square form, wired watch face protector and Baby-G’s original round “G” logo.

Available in 3 vibrant colours of classic black (BGD-500-1), original turquoise (BGD-500-3) and striking yellow (BGD-500-9), at a suggested retail price of SGD129.00. The watches also come packed in an exclusive 20th anniversary box featuring two stars to signify two successful decades of Baby-G.

To mark this significant milestone, Casio also introduced a fresh new look for Baby-G with plans to further elevate the brand as the sister brand to G-SHOCK. Casio fans and Baby-G collectors can look forward to a new BABY-G logo adopting a refreshed concept of “Tough & Cool” in upcoming timepiece designs.

1st G-Shock Concept Store in Asia

Hi Huneybees,

Casio G-Shock opens their very 1st concept store at Plaza Singapura, as part of the celebration of G-Shock's 30th Anniversary. The concept store aptly named "G-Shock", differs from other Casio G-Factory stores, as it is dedicated to house only watches under G-Shock and its sister brand, Baby-G.

Designed to immerse shoppers in a holistic experience of the G-Shock brand identity of "Absolute Toughness", the new G-Shock concept store features a black corrugated metal exterior, rigid concrete blocks that line the walls and brown wood flooring to form a rugged and industrial atelier.

At the opening that day, Sheikh Haikel was there to host as well as a speech by Mr Watanabe Shunichi (Managing Director of Casio Singapore Pte Ltd) was made.

In collaboration of the G-Shock concept store opening, Ace of Spades (DJs Andrew T, Dave Does, Stanley, T.T, Hapa & N’fa) together with The Killer Gerbil designed 2 limited edition G-Shock watches and were unveiled at the opening ceremony.

The watch by AOS (G-Shock X AOS G-8900A) is basically white and since they are all DJs, this is a watch for clubbing! Clubs are typically dark, thus the white watch that definitely will stand out. Also, the strap has sound wave motif that resonates the power of music, expressing the beats on a DJ deck and this is definitely a watch that represents the group’s passion for their profession. 

The next one if my favourite of the 2 and thanks to G-Shock I am the proud owner of the watch!

The Killer Gerbil’s watch (G-Shock X The Killer Gerbil GD-100), has the signature Killer Gerbil logo and on both sides of the dial and on top of the the black belt is the Killer Gerbil! Definitely a super signature Killer Gerbil watch and fans of Killer Gerbil like me will love to "show off" in this watch!

Both G-Shock X AOS G-8900A &  G-Shock X The Killer Gerbil GD-100  watches retail at $209.00 each and are sold exclusively at the G-Shock concept store.

After the unveiling ceremony, DJ Andrew T, Stanley and Dave Does took on the DJ console and performed their individual signature club pieces, accompanied with Sheikh Haikel's rapping, for a moment, the guests were clubbing to the beats!

Killer Gerbil also did a live graffiti on the 2 oil cans right in the front of the store.

The evening concluded with a fashion show of streetwear label, Flesh Imp, and its sister brand, FEMMEX. The models had G-Shock and Baby-G watches on them to match their outfits and the watches were displayed in a few variety of themes such as “Toughness” and “Sporty”.

Don’t forget to check out those fiery red G-Shock’s 30th Anniversary limited edition watches too! I'm very tempted to get one!

The G-SHOCK concept store is located at #03-63, Plaza Singapura; opening hours are 10.00am to 10.00pm daily.

Upcoming G-Shock Design Competition in January 2013In conjunction with G-Shock’s 30th Anniversary and the watch’s Shock The World celebrations next year, Casio will be organising a G-Shock design competition, where G-Shock enthusiasts can try their hands at creating a unique watch design of their own and stand to win attractive prizes. More details will be revealed on the Casio Facebook Fanpage at a later date.

Visiting Casio G-Factory @ JCube

Hi Huneybees,

My FIRST watch was a BABY-G.

Writing this blog post brought back alot of memories. The first watch my parents bought for me for passing exams with flying colours was a Baby-G. It's now ranked as "antique" in my watch casing, but Casio has created a huge hype with their watches for years....

Casio's corporate creed is "creativity and contribution." It expresses the company's commitment to contributing to society by offering the kind of original, useful products that only Casio can.

Some interesting facts on Casio..

In 1974, Casio introduced the world's first digital watch - Casiotron, that features a fully automatic calendar, including month lengths and leap years. The first G-Shock model (DW-5000C) was born in 1983 and this tough watch has raised challenges insatiably based on its shock-resistant structure. I believe the G-Shock generation has revolutionized the watch industry and now who don't know G-Shock right?

G-Shock represents Absolute Toughness...

G-Shock has always been the tough looking kind of watch. Not surprising, throughout the years, G-Shock has raised challenges insatiably based on its inherited shock-resistant structure. Nevertheless, in the recent years, bigger design (Extra Large Series) and more colours (Shocking Colour Series) have been added to the collection to makes the wearer feel younger while looking tougher at the same time. I'm a fan of G-Shock, as it reflects my character. Hehehehe....

This is the watch that I've set my eyes on.
It's cool and the gold parts shows fashion and toughness go well together.

Baby-G makes you look Cute, Cool and Tough....

For the more girly ladies, you can go for the sweeter Baby-G. With added designs and colours of completely feminine appeal, while inherited the G-Shock "tough" image, Baby-G is continually offering surprising innovative functions and fashionable styling that appeal to active, free-spirited woman!

The current Baby-G ambassador is the sweet Taiwanese singer Liang Wen Ying.

 

So cute! The numbers seems to pop out!

OMG! The Leopard print Ke$ha Baby-G watch is so cool! I want I want!!!

There's always a Casio for everyone.....

Other than the G-Shock and Baby-G range, Casio also has the classic and more metallic range too. For people to wear to work, for a more classy look...

Timeless pieces that will forever be in fashion, easy to match and suitable for any occasion.

There's also a range for the younger crowd and the adventurous tougher person.

The SHEEN collection......

Beside Baby-G, Liang Wen Ying also carry an elegant, smart and shining collection called SHEEN. It's more dressy, with bling blings and metallic colours. Very suitable for night functions...

The NEW Baby-G ambassador is.......  
Yes!!! Casio is pleased to announce our new Baby-G ambassador - Girls' Generation!

Girls’ Generation is a highly versatile girl pop group whose members not only sing, but also appear as models and actresses on TV, in commercials, and in films.

Girls’ Generation is the ideal match for the Baby-G brand, with the group’s adaptable yet tough, active image and sporty, healthy beauty, topped by the individuality of each of the nine members’ fashionable lifestyles. Girls’ Generation will represent the face of the brand in eleven countries, including Singapore, China and Korea.

By appearing in product catalogs and advertisements, Girls’ Generation will promote the Baby-G worldview to young women, the brand’s target demographic.
