The analog-digital Casio G-Shock MRG-B2100B Kigumi sports the traditional Japanese art of interlocking woodwork. It is called “kigumi” and this three-dimensional latticework on the dial enables the solar powered charging system to work. As the openings of the dial catch enough light to charge.
The watch is not only about an open-worked dial that doesn’t look like it. It is also about extreme hard materials. The case of this 49.5 × 44.4-millimeter G-Shock is made from the super-hard titanium alloy Ti64, and the top of the 27-part bezel is from Cobarion. Also, an alloy developed in Japan, also super-hard, and with the looks of platinum.
Fully charged the Casio G-Shock MRG-B2100B Kigumi has a battery life of 5 months
The Casio caliber 5718 runs this G-Shock, and offers all the standard features like smartphone connection, full calendar, date and day display, stopwatch and more. The battery life is about 5 months when fully charged, but with normal use you will never run out of power, as long as you go outside with it when the sun is shining.
The bracelet of the Casio G-Shock MRG-B2100B Kigumi is from DAT55G, a titanium alloy that is three times harder than titanium. All the fancy materials lead to a price that is excessive for a G-Shock. However, the MRG-series is all about special materials and unique techniques, which makes a lot of these MRG’s very valuable. Another example? Look at this Casio G-Shock MRG-B2000SG Kabuto Helmet.
