“As we are a densely populated city, it isn’t easy to allocate space and resources to maintain nature. Most of my work is inspired by nature, and to have that somewhat accessible in the place where I live is something that I treasure.”

Why the darker colour scheme?

“People expect soft pinks and delicate flowers when it comes to 'flora and fauna'. But, our jungles are beautiful too – they are an explosion of earthy greens, muddy yellows and bright reds. It is a colour scheme that I rarely get to explore, and this was the right opportunity for a [G-Shock] product that represents toughness.”

“Conceptualising was rather quick because it was something I’d wanted to try, but didn’t get the opportunity to. The process, from sketching to production, took a few months.”

What are some challenges you faced when it comes to designing a watch?

“It is the same with any 3-D surface – small uneven areas etc. For instance, I like details but that is subjected to print limitations. Hence, the challenge for me is retaining enough details and integrity of the design, while making it simple enough to be executed.”

The G-Shock x Mightyellow limited edition timepiece is available at all G-Shock outlets (except its IMM boutique) for $219.
