Summary

  • The collaborative effort centers on a reimagined iteration of HIDAKA’s signature wearable timepiece
  • A functional portable ashtray accompanies the ring watch featuring reconstructed archival graphics
  • The highly limited two-piece accessory capsule drops exclusively via Tokyo boutique GR8

HIDAKA and mastermind JAPAN have collaborated to create a limited-edition pair of accessories. These items, designed specifically for the GR8 store in Tokyo, are everyday essentials upgraded with careful graphics and both brands’ logos.

The main highlight of this release is a special version of HIDAKA’s popular “Ring Watch,” created in collaboration with mastermind JAPAN. The watch keeps its original shape but features mastermind JAPAN’s signature style directly on the design. Most notably, mastermind JAPAN’s iconic skull logo is used as part of the hour markers on the watch face, blending in perfectly with the numbers.

Completing the collection is the “Portable Ashtray,” a long-time favorite from HIDAKA. This practical accessory features a special graphic created by mastermind JAPAN, designed to look like vintage cigarette packaging. By blending familiar shapes with classic designs, this release offers a detailed and eye-catching take on everyday items.

The HIDAKA x mastermind JAPAN hardware capsule drops on May 9 exclusively via GR8.
