TOKYO, September 16, 2011 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of new Baby-G watches featuring Ke$ha. Bringing her signature brand of style to fashionistas everywhere, global superstar and platinum selling singer/songwriter Ke$ha joins the Baby-G brand in announcing the launch of two Ke$ha-designed watches. Known for her fashion bravado, trendsetting accessories and overall style, when Ke$ha sang the most-played song of 2010 “TiK ToK,” the Baby-G brand listened. As ambassador for the popular watch line, the singer used her iconic imagery and one-of-a-kind style to develop this fall’s most exciting wrist wear.
Watches created in the collaboration between Ke$ha and Baby-G demonstrate the head-turning style that make both Ke$ha and Baby-G unique to their loyal fans. Ke$ha tackles two of her most signature themes in the design of her timepieces—animal print and All-American. Both watches are also adorned with Ke$ha’s signature “K$” logo.
The BGA-200KS conjures up Ke$ha’s wild side, as well as what is arguably the most identifiable theme in Ke$ha’s music, imagery and style, by using an animal print. She designed this watch with a leopard print pattern on the watch’s face and also its black resin strap.
For the second design’s look, Ke$ha created the patriotic BG-5600KS model, which features the colors and shapes of the American flag with red, white and blue in stars and stripes.
“Designing these two watches was very cool,” said Ke$ha. “I made them to be a reflection of my personality, music and style, and I hope people everywhere will have as much fun wearing them as I had designing them!”
The attention-grabbing watches also have the functionality that sets the Baby-G brand apart. Both models are shock resistant and 100 meters water resistant and equipped with an LED light with afterglow, world time from 48 cities and 29 time zones, and 1/100-second stopwatch. The BGA-200KS has a combination digital-analog face, and the BG-5600KS is all digital.
Ke$ha’s energy, spirit and style make her a perfect partner for Casio’s dynamic Baby-G brand, and theses fashionable watches are a result of this fantastic collaboration.
