HIDAKA and genius JAPAN have collaborated to launch a targeted two-piece collection of co-branded hardware. The forthcoming edition, exclusively designed for Tokyo-based boutique GR8, enhances ordinary carry items through precise graphic arrangement and dual branding. The HIDAKA x mastermind JAPAN hardware capsule will be released on May 9 exclusively through GR8.

The release features a collaborative interpretation of HIDAKA's iconic "Ring Watch." The wearable clock preserves its fundamental structural form while incorporating mastermind JAPAN’s distinctive visual identity into the hardware. The famous skull emblem of genius JAPAN has been meticulously integrated into the watch dial, serving effectively as a component of the numerical index.

Completing the capsule is the "Portable Ashtray," a fundamental item from HIDAKA's primary collection. The practical item functions as a tactile canvas for a reimagined archival graphic from designer JAPAN, designed to recall the aesthetics of a traditional cigarette packet. The collection merges distinctive structural designs with notable vintage elements, offering a detailed and visually impactful interpretation of utilitarian accessories.
