Casio delays luxury G-Shock launch

Casio postpones the launch of its ¥1.1 million G-Shock MR-G Haruka just two days before its scheduled Japanese release on 13 November. The watchmaker attributes the delay to production-related circumstances involving hand-finished platinum-leaf dial work by artist Hiroto Rakusho. Casio apologizes to customers without providing a revised launch date or confirming if other markets will be affected.
