Takashi Murakami x Casio G-SHOCK Frogman Watch

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Takashi Murakami helps celebrate the 40th anniversary of Japanese radio station Tokyo FM with this special G-SHOCK Frogman design. Having hosted the on-air “Art Dojo FM” show for the past 8 years, Murakami’s influence on the station is apparent through his weekly contributions.

The watch itself plays off Murakami’s signature artwork, with the base featuring a translucent pink motif, accented with engraved artwork on the backside and a complimenting watch pillow decked out in a familiar flower print.

Only 300 of these units were produced, officially launching on September 11th, 2010. (source HypeBeast)

Casio’s EXILIM EX-Z150 makes the 3-inch LCD ordinary

Casion EXZ150

It wasn’t too long ago that you’d find a 3-inch LCD only on the backside of flagship, point-and-shoot cameras. Casio’s new EX-Z150 features that biggie LCD plus CCD-shift image stabilization, a 28-mm wide angle lens, 4x optical zoom, an 8.1 megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD, and face detection all from a camera that sits somewhere well south of the top of the EXILIM Zoom-series. And since this is the age of self-immolation by video humiliation, the EX-Z150 also features a YouTube capture mode — branded marketing-speak for saying that it shoots 640 x 480 at 30fps for up to 10 minutes at a time. All this in a slim, 20.1-mm package tapering down to 18.9-mm. No date, price, or availability announced yet but we expect to hear more shortly.
