As much of the Hodinkee staff clamors for their own trips to Japan The New York Times takes us there first with this visit to the G-Shock factory which looks far more "futuristic science-y" than "skateboarding on the walls and link dirt biking through link the halls" than I link expected.

Really it's funny that the link Hemipode is known for being a round watch when well most watches are round. link Of course the Hemipode is notable for how round it is the same as say the Cartier Pebble. But for a designer like Newson it was only a matter of time before he started to play with shapes in link watchmaking and that's what happened with watches like the Ikepod Manatee Platypus and eventually the Solaris.
