Considered a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/traditional-arts-and-crafts-of-japan\/\">traditional<\/a><span> craft practice in the country, the hammering technique, which literally translates to \u2018shape with a hammer\u2019, forms the bezel and bracelet of the timepiece design, individually and thoroughly hitting the surfaces to create the textures. The brand says that each unit is hand-hammered by Kazuya Watanabe, a trained tsuiki artisan from Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, so no two pieces are the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>For the digital titanium-based watch, Casio uses the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/aluminum\/\">metal<\/a><span> called DAT55G. It is a type of titanium alloy that is about three times harder than pure titanium, which makes the timepiece\u2019s frame stronger and more resistant to damage. The outer surface of the design is finished with a diamond-like carbon coating to prevent scratches and wear, and as the wearer flips the accessory, they find that the rear is also made from titanium, closed tightly using a screw-lock system. In the middle of it lies the MR-G logo, engraved and pronounced, and because of the screw-lock system, the direction of the logo may not always align with the face of the watch, making the piece seem to be moving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of Casio<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">design homage to the first G-SHOCK released in 1983<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>For the MRG-B5000 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casio.com\/\">timepiece<\/a><span>, artisan Kazuya Watanabe hammers 25 different parts, each of which is shaped and polished one at a time. The bezel has a multi-guard structure, which uses small cushions between metal parts, and these absorb shocks and protect the inner parts of the watch from impact. The overall shape of the titanium Casio MR-G watch follows the design of the first G-SHOCK, released in 1983. Even though it uses traditional handwork on the outside, the inside of the MRG-B5000 has modern technology, with a digital display and G-SHOCK\u2019s usual shock resistance features. It also has advanced protection systems to handle strong impact or pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>The tsuiki technique has been used in Japan for a long time, often to make homeware and items like tea sets and metal ornaments. In the recent Casio MR-G watch made with titanium alloy, the tsuiki method is used on the outer metal parts. The pattern is created by changing the force and angle of hammer strikes, and the artistic approach is to create a pattern that does not look machine-made and does not repeat. The artisan uses a specific hammering method called yuragi, which means fluctuation, to produce natural-looking patterns with an organic texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Casio releases MRG-B5000, an indented titanium watch under the MR-G series<\/p>\n<p>the timepiece design uses the Japanese hammering technique named tsuiki<\/p>\n<p>the hammering technique, which literally translates to \u2018shape with a hammer\u2019, forms the bezel and bracelet<\/p>\n<p>the brand says that each unit is hand-hammered by Kazuya Watanabe, a trained tsuiki artisan from Sanjo City<\/p>\n<p>detailed view of the hammered bezel<\/p>\n<p>the rear features the model\u2019s engraved logo<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the bezel has a multi-guard structure, which uses small cushions between metal parts<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>project info:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>name: <span>MRG-B5000<\/span><\/p>\n<p>brand: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casio.com\/\"><span>Casio<\/span><\/a><span> | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/casiowatches_official\/\"><span>@casiowatches_official<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/casio-japanese-hammering-technique-tsuiki-titanium-mr-g-watch-b5000-07-29-2025\/\">casio uses japanese hammering technique tsuiki to create indented titanium MR-G watch<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casio\u2019s titanium MR-G watch features tsuiki technique \u00a0 Casio releases MRG-B5000, an indented titanium watch under the MR-G series that uses the Japanese hammering technique named tsuiki.
