The Skull Dial: HIDAKA’s Iconic Ring Watch Gets a mastermind JAPAN Makeover
This Tokyo-exclusive drop brings mastermind JAPAN’s iconic skull motif to HIDAKA’s signature accessories.
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 teamed up to unveil a focused two-piece delivery of co-branded hardware. Designed as a strict retail exclusive for Tokyo-based boutique GR8, the upcoming release elevates standard everyday carry items through meticulous graphic placement and dual-branded detailing.
Anchoring the release is a collaborative take on HIDAKA’s signature “Ring Watch.” The wearable timepiece maintains its core structural silhouette while integrating mastermind JAPAN’s unmistakable visual identity directly into the hardware. Specifically, mastermind JAPAN’s iconic skull logo has been precisely applied to the watch dial, functioning seamlessly as part of the numerical index.
Rounding out the capsule is the “Portable Ashtray,” another staple from HIDAKA’s core catalog. The functional accessory serves as a tactile canvas for an archival mastermind JAPAN graphic, which has been explicitly reconstructed to evoke the aesthetics of a classic cigarette package. By combining these signature structural formats with iconic archival motifs, the drop presents a granular and visually striking approach to utilitarian accessories.
The HIDAKA x mastermind JAPAN hardware capsule drops on May 9 exclusively via GR8.
