Ain't nuttin' but a Baby G thang, baby

Sanrio wasn’t exactly known for being that selective about what products Hello Kitty’s face got plastered all over, but they’ve really kicked the collaborations into overdrive for her 35th birthday celebration.  Now the company has once again gotten together with Casio, this time to produce a commemorative Baby G adorned with Hello Kitty bows and large Hello Kitty logos on the wrist strap.  The  smaller, more feminine version of Casio’s rugged G-Shock not only sports an uber kawaii makeover, but a ton of technical features as well, including low temperature and shock resistance, water resistance up to 200M, a solar powered rechargeable battery, and the ability to view time from 29 different time zones.  You can get yours in either black or pink at French boutique colette for 330 euros ($493).

Today LVMH announced the purchase of Hublot, a swiss watch company, adding to it’s jewelry and watch division which also consists of Zenith, Tag Heuer, Chaumet and Fred brands. With LVMH at it’s back, Hublot can take it’s growth to the next level and is upping the ante on the luxury watch game. Before the purchase I had not heard of Hublot but a quick look on their site and I saw that I could easily be a fan. They have “dressier” models like the ones shown above but they are best known for their Big Bang watch, which they introduced for women earlier this year – two words – black diamonds. Can’t to see what else is in store for Hublot now that LVMH has their back.
