Watches are more than just everyday accessories — they are instrumental tools meant to aid us in our daily lives. But when the going gets wet, these tools are sometimes the first to give way. That's why G-SHOCK and Swatch, two of the leading brands in the world of watchmaking, have created a pair of hardy pieces that get the job done, wet or not. G-SHOCK MRGBF1000 'Goliath Frogman' G-SHOCK has introduced the MRGBF1000, a high-end, full-metal G-SHOCK MR-G watch made for the ocean. The FROGMAN family of diver watches, which is renowned for its ISO 200-meter water resistance, now includes this titanium armoured watch. The Conraua goliath, the largest frog in the world, serves as the model's inspiration, hence the nickname 'Goliath Frogman.' It transforms the amphibian's imposing size and organic colours into an eye-catching pattern. This watch's exterior features an intricate asymmetrical design that was painstakingly created using titanium parts that were individually polished and finished. In addition to unique buffers that strengthen its shock-resistant structure, this elaborate construction features an O-ring waterproof seal that guarantees exceptional FROGMAN water resistance. Dura Soft, a comfortable and long-lasting fluoro rubber, is used to make the band. Its vivid green hue is inspired by the green Goliath frog. A design intended to inspire the wearer's inner adventurer is completed by eye-catching orange accents on the indicator hands and seconds. In addition to its unique diving capabilities, the MRGBF1000 has the standard features of an MR-G watch, such as strong shock resistance and Tough Solar power. The watch is perfect for travelling abroad because it has a Double LED (Super Illuminator) light that ensures readability in low light and can automatically adjust the time based on the wearer's location. The MRGBF1000 'Goliath Frogman' watch costs US$4,900 (~RM20,761) and can be purchased through G-SHOCK's official website. Swatch 'SCUBAQUA' Collection Swatch is getting ready for summer by going to the beach and revealing their new 'SCUBAQUA' collection, which draws inspiration from the ocean's undiscovered beauty.

Each watch has a distinctive name that honours various jellyfish species. The 'SCUBAQUA' collection, as the name suggests, is made for deep-sea exploration and is capable of surviving 10 bars of water resistance.

Thailand launches "G-Token": A new digital route for government borrowing and public investment
BANGKOK: Thailand has unveiled its first government-backed digital token, dubbed "G-Token" or "Thailand Digital Token," in a bid to broaden public investment opportunities and create a fresh avenue for state fundraising. The initiative, approved by the government, will initially see tokens issued with a total value of approximately 5 billion baht. The Ministry of Finance anticipates the launch within the next one to two months. The G-Token represents a digital iteration of government debt, akin to traditional bonds but leveraging modern digital technology. Investors will be entitled to the repayment of their initial investment along with interest, in accordance with terms set out by the Ministry of Finance. This new financial instrument operates within the existing legal framework, primarily the Public Debt Management Act of 2005, which grants the Ministry of Finance the authority to borrow funds, and the Digital Asset Business Decree of 2018, which regulates the issuance and trading of digital tokens under the supervision of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). G-Tokens offer several distinct advantages over conventional government bonds. Being digital assets, they can be traded on specialised digital platforms, potentially offering easier access for smaller retail investors to participate in public debt. The digital format also promises greater trading flexibility through licensed digital asset exchanges, with ownership verified using digital systems. The Ministry of Finance has outlined that individuals, non-profit legal entities, and other designated legal entities will be eligible to purchase G-Tokens. Investments can be made through licensed digital asset exchanges, digital asset brokers, and other legally authorised entities. The investment process will involve opening an account with a SEC-approved provider, reviewing a prospectus detailing the token's specifics (issuance amount, maturity, interest rate, transfer conditions), placing a buy order, making payment, and receiving confirmation of the G-Token holdings in the investor's digital asset account. Holders of G-Tokens will be entitled to receive their principal back upon maturity, along with interest payments as specified by the Ministry of Finance. They will also have the right to trade and transfer their tokens through the designated digital asset platforms. The Ministry of Finance will determine the procedures for interest payments and the redemption of the G-Tokens, with payments expected to be made electronically to holders via their registered accounts, following the schedule outlined in the prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of certain considerations, including the potential for limited initial liquidity in the secondary market, the need for a basic understanding of digital asset technology and platforms, possible future regulatory changes, and the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the token's market value. G-Tokens differ from traditional government bonds primarily in their digital format and accessibility via digital asset exchanges. They may also feature lower minimum investment thresholds to attract retail investors and are expected to offer greater trading flexibility compared to traditional bonds, which are typically accessed through banks or authorised dealers and may have higher minimum investment requirements. Authorities have emphasised that G-Tokens are considered as secure as traditional government bonds due to the backing of the Thai government. While a deep understanding of digital assets isn't strictly necessary, users will need to be comfortable navigating the digital platforms used for trading. The Ministry of Finance will announce the official issuance schedule through its channels and the media, with licensed digital asset providers also expected to disseminate this information. Tax implications for G-Tokens will be detailed in the prospectus, generally aligning with the tax treatment of traditional government bonds, although specific details for G-Tokens will need to be monitored. In conclusion, G-Token represents a novel financial instrument for Thailand, integrating digital technology with government fundraising. It aims to democratise investment in government debt and foster the development of the nation's digital financial infrastructure. Potential investors are advised to monitor updates from the Ministry of Finance and the SEC in preparation for the upcoming launch. - The Nation/ANN
