The first, and perhaps most obvious, is the concept of quiet luxury, or “stealth wealth,” for those who know, and MR-G is an exceptional example of Japanese craftsmanship from a brand that is capable of much more than the resin watches for which it’s best known. Like so many high-end watches cherished by collectors, it relies on the wearer establishing an intimate connection with his or her watch.
The joy and satisfaction that can be experienced by making an informed purchase of an under-the-radar piece shouldn’t be underestimated. Knowing exactly what went into the creation of the watch on your wrist and indulging in its flawless operation daily is what many watch aficionados value above all else.
The second cultural reason is that Casio is able to make its own rules thanks to its fame and cult status. Many watch lovers, even collectors of the rarest and most expensive timepieces, cut their teeth with Casio. In some ways, it’s generational, but the next generation of collectors will have been started down the same path by their resin-rocking parents.
The 2100 series first answered the tastes of a mature and contemporary consumer, while simultaneously appealing to those that grew up with G-Shock. Rendering the 2100 in the MR-G line is a masterstroke which brings the design’s sleekness to new heights. It taps into the nostalgia many watch aficionados have when they see the likes of a DW-5000C but, now older with grownup budgets, it also satisfies the refined tastes they’ve since developed.
