Kuala Lumpur — Casio Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of its G-SHOCK brand in April 2018. To mark this milestone, Casio announced the release of BIG BANG BLACK, a commemorative collection of four G-SHOCK models featuring the new colour, matte black. By looking back to the origin of the brand, Casio produced this collection to share its commitment in creating new values in the coming years.G-SHOCK started when a Casio engineer attempted to develop a watch that was virtually unbreakable in 1981. Refusing to accept that wrist watches are constantly fragile and easily broken, he took up the challenge to prove otherwise. After more than 200prototypes, and a two-year development process, the first G-SHOCK model with a shock-resistant structure was released in 1983. Since then, the brand have continued to evolve based on the concept of “Absolute Toughness."”The BIG BANG BLACK collection which is the first set of the 35th anniversary models, employs a new kind of black, the symbolic colour of the brand. The matte finishing of the new base colour was achieved with the technology that incorporates particles into the paint. The gold colour back case expresses the instantaneous mega explosion of the Big Bang in contrast to the matte black.The back case of these models are engraved with the G-SHOCK 35th anniversary logo designed by Eric Haze, a world famous graphic artist, while the metal band loops are emblazoned with a star emblem that represents 35 years. The phrase, "SINCE 1983" is featured on the dials, and special packaging has also been created to further enhance this very exceptional collection.BIG BANG BLACK collection of four models■ MUDMASTER GG-1035A: Dust and mud-resistant structure equipped with twin sensors for measuring direction and temperature■ GA-735A: Three-dimensional dial and hands, as well as a large case for a dynamic look■ GA-835A: Medium-sized case and 3-hand analog mode■ GA-135A: Large case and precision face design

KUALA LUMPUR, To unveil the latest special edition timepiece from Casio’s G-SHOCK line, Casio Malaysia and The Hour Glass co-hosted an event at the Lot 10mall concourse to launch the MRG-G2000HT, a limited edition model of its flagship MR-G series in Malaysia.With a limited run of 500 watches worldwide, the MRG-G2000HT was unveiled for the first time ever in Malaysia and features a metal plate at the 10 o’clock position embossed with“2017 LIMITED” and a unique serial number engraved on the back case, further denoting its limited edition status. Casio’s cutting edge MR-G series is G-SHOCK’s premium collection which boasts intricate Japanese craftsmanship reflected on the timepiece through its collaboration with Bihou Asano, a third-generation master artisan in the field. The unique handmade patterns can be seen on the bezel and centre row of the band through the use ofthe Japanese Tsu-i-ki technique; a traditional craft method that creates a patterned finish of overlapping hammered lines through hammering. Historically, the Tsu-i-ki method has been used to make copper ware as well as armour and helmets. Presently the method is applied to produce components for the Japanese Railway, bullet trains and aircrafts. To lend a sense of refined elegance to this special edition, the bezel and back case are finished in a deep indigo“Japan blue”, a colour that is inspired from the colours of deep waters.The new MRG-G2000HT features a Connected Engine 3-Way system that always keepsaccurate time anywhere in the world. The three-way sync system, receives both radio waveand GPS satellite time calibration signals while also connecting to the internet time servers bypairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth connectivity. It automatically updates the watch’sinternal data on time zones and daylight savings time (DST) from a smartphone, keeping itupdated at all times.Guests who attended the launch event were customers loyal to the brand, watch enthusiastsand brand partners who apart from previewing the MRG-G2000HT, were also excited to meetwith Mr Kikuo Ibe who made a special appearance.The event kick-started with an opening speech by Mr SK Teh, General Manager of The HourGlass, followed by presentations by Mr Narito Yamamura, Overseas Marketing and SalesManager and Mr Shingo Ishizaka, Casio Chief Engineer, who respectively shared with guestson G-SHOCKS MR-G collection concept, and their plans for G-SHOCKS 35th Anniversary.Mr Narito Yamamura said, “Recently, G-SHOCK has set another memorable record with over100 million watches shipped worldwide. In view of this, we will be running special campaigns tocommemorate this achievement and together with G-SHOCKS 35th Anniversary next year, ourfans can expect many events and special editions headed this way.”The last presenter for the evening was none other than the Father of G-SHOCK himself, MrKikuo Ibe who endeared himself to guests during his welcome speech where he welcomedeveryone in Bahasa Malaysia and continued on in Bahasa for the first half of his speech.Through a presentation, he then regaled guests with the history of the G-Shock brand and theexperiences encountered throughout the development of the brand to the success it is today.He said, “The G-SHOCK began as a challenge to absurdity, a challenge to build a watch sotough, it woudn’t break if dropped. Thanks to my life-long held commitment to never give up,the G-SHOCK toughness concept was born.”The event was officially launched when the top Casio and The Hour Glass representativestogether with Mr. Joseph Yeoh, Vice President, YTL Land & Development Berhad and YTLHotels & Properties Sdn Bhd were invited up to the stage to perform the Kagami Biraki wherethey broke the lid of a large sake barrel with wooden mallets to retrieve the sake inside. Thesake was then served to everyone present. Kagami refers to the lid of the barrel and Birakimeans to open. Because of its round shape the kagami is a symbol of harmony good fortune.After the Kagami Biraki, guests were then encouraged to freely seek out the Father of G-Shock to obtain his autograph in The Hour Glass boutique and have their photo taken with him.The evening came to an end with a thank you note from Mr SK Teh, The Hour Glass GeneralManager who said, “I am extremely excited to showcase the MR-G as it is the epitome oftimeless fascination which also serves to meet every challenge.

Egyptian-American actor, comedian, producer, and director Ahmed Ahmed is one of the most diverse, multi-faceted talents in the entertainment industry today. His one mission - to prove that humour can breach cultural barriers. Thus Malaysia is one of Ahmed Ahmed’s destinations as he embarks on his world tour. Featuring locally reknown comedian, Andrew Netto, the show aptly called Double Trouble happens 27 October 2017 in PJ Live Arts by Jaya One. Ahmed Ahmed blends cultural identity and comedy in a stand up-act that allows audiences to laugh at themselves and appreciate others. He is an avid proponent of bridging the divide between the Middle East and West through comedy.

There isn’t a doubt that Ahmed makes BIG impacts on stage. His observations on race relations, Islamaphobia and the Arab-American experience resonates with crowds. Ahmed gained fame with the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, a highly acclaimed comedy tour aimed to stop prejudice towards Middle Easterner thorough a comedic approach. He can be seen starring as “Ahmed” on TBS’ hit comedy series Sullivan & Son, produced by comedian Vince Vaughn. Ahmed’s first big break was in the suspense, action film Executive Decision alongside Kurt Russell, Steven Segal, and Halle Berry. He then went on to appear in a handful of blockbuster and cult hit features including Swingers, Iron Man, and You Don’t Mess With The Zohan.In 2011, Ahmed made his directorial debut with his groundbreaking documentary Just Like Us, a celebration of culture and comedy, that follows Ahmed and ten American comedians through Dubai, Egypt, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia, performing in front of over 20,000 Arabs and Muslims across the region. The film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, and went on to be selected at 30 international film festivals, winning several “Best Director” and “Best Documentary” awards. Ahmed was invited to The White House to meet President Obama, and later Hilary Clinton- as they commended him on creating a project that made an effort to break down barriers and encourage cross-cultural dialogue. Ahmed is currently a paid regular performer at the world famous Comedy Story in Hollywood, The Laugh Factory, and the Comedy Cellar in New York City.
