This new series was created by assembling five world-popular G-SHOCK models that were specially selected by JAHAN LOH, a visual artist based in Singapore who is noted for combining "highend visual pop art" and "modern street art.” LOH then used these G-SHOCK models to create exciting new original designs.
The design themes for these models are the Chinese philosophy of Five Elements and Five Virtues. The five elements are those that make up all things: fire, water, wood, metal, and earth, while the five virtues are the five virtues of Confucianism. JAHAN LOH represents each of these concepts with the images of five generals from Chinese history, and each model is given its own distinctive look using original printing technology.
Model Themes
GW-B5600SGM-1: WISDOM
GW-B5600SGZ-7: BENEVOLENCE
GA-110SGG-3A: RIGHTEOUSNESS
GA-110SGH-4A: FAITH
GX-56SGZ-2: PROPRIETY
The packaging of this new series also features designs that are befitting of special new models.
These new models embody Chinese philosophy and history, and mark still another collaboration that blends G-SHOCK toughness with cultural aspects from around the world.
