Casio and J Balvin Unveil the CRW001JB-9 Ring Watch
Casio America, Inc. has announced an exciting continuation of its partnership with renowned artist J Balvin, presenting the limited-edition CRW001JB-9 Ring Watch. This innovative timepiece blends the luxury of design with the practicality of digital functionality, cementing a unique place in the world of fashion and timekeeping.
A Bold New Expression Of Style
The CRW001JB-9 represents a radical reinterpretation of the traditional Casio digital watch, transforming it into a distinctive ring-style device that can be worn on the finger. This bold design choice not only showcases J Balvin’s signature aesthetic but also aligns seamlessly with Casio's commitment to innovative watchmaking. Inspired by the spirit of self-expression, this collaboration pushes the envelope in creativity and style.
J Balvin, the Colombian reggaeton superstar, known for his record-breaking hits and vibrant persona, has brought his unique flair to this collaboration. This new watch design is set against a backdrop of a striking gold-tone finish, reminiscent of the opulence often found in his music videos. A gold brick pattern marks the watch face, adding depth that captures the essence of the artist’s dynamic visual style.
Features That Stand Out
The CRW001JB-9 is not just a visual masterpiece; it also packed with features that highlight its functionality:
- - Dual Time Functionality
- - 1/100-Second Stopwatch
- - Hourly Flash Alert
- - Auto Calendar
- - LED Backlight
- - 12/24-Hour Time Format
These features reflect Casio’s legacy of reliable timekeeping while catering to modern-day needs. The elegant design integrates the workout necessities of an athlete with the stylish tastes of a fashion-forward individual, allowing for seamless transitions from fitness routines to social gatherings.
A Shared Vision of Originality
J Balvin expressed his thoughts on the collaboration, stating, “Casio has always understood my vision when it comes to creativity and self-expression. The first release was personal, and with this new watch, we pushed even further to create something unexpected and iconic.”
This sentiment showcases the shared values between J Balvin and Casio—fearlessness in creativity and a profound respect for individuality.
As the latest addition to what started with the successful
2025 'Ma G' collaboration, the CRW001JB-9 symbolizes the ongoing creative partnership between J Balvin and Casio. This collaboration is not just about fashion; it’s a statement that transcends traditional markets, promoting a narrative of community, loyalty, and brotherhood.
Availability
The limited-edition CRW001JB-9 Ring Watch will be available for pre-order on May 28, 2026, priced at $200. Fans and collectors alike can find it on casio.com/us/, with a public release scheduled for June 4, also available at select retailers and the G-SHOCK SoHo Store.
This collaboration between Casio and J Balvin cements their status as trendsetters in the world of fashion and music, showcasing how creativity knows no bounds when it comes to innovative design. As both icons continue to blend their artistic visions, the CRW001JB-9 stands as a testament to what can be achieved when fashion meets functionality.
