The Seasonal Pair Collection celebrates its 30th anniversary with a special collaboration with VERDY, featuring a limited-edition pair of watches for the winter season.
The romantic story behind this collaboration begins with a BABY-G, the very first watch VERDY ever gave his wife, a gift that means a lot to both of them to this day. VERDY brings his special touch to the anniversary celebrations with a street-style aesthetic that embodies the spirit of his Girls Don’t Cry brand. He also redesigns the iconic Pair Collection’s angel and devil, which has been featured from the very first model released in 1996.
Born in Osaka in 1987, VERDY is a graphic artist and the founder of the Girls Don't Cry and Wasted Youth projects, as well as the creator of the original characters Vick and Visty. In addition to collaborating with fashion brands and companies around the world, he provides creative direction for events, brands, and hotels. His creative activities extend well beyond design, serving as editor-in-chief of the street culture magazine he founded while also presenting his work as an artist. VERDY is the representative of the creative company VK DESIGN WORKS.
