CASIMODS

We’ve become more engrossed in the world of watch modding of late here at The Coolector and there are few better examples of the sort of quality that can result from this than the awesome creations of CASIMODS. If you have a penchant for digital watches but want something with a bit more character and uniqueness to it, you’ll be in your element here. CASIMODS create unique digital watches typically using Casio timepieces as their muse and, if you ask us, the end results look incredible.

CASIMODS is a California, USA, based design studio that pays particular attention to custom digital watches with each one being customised and handcrafted by Benson C. He is a brand consultant by day and an dedicated maker by night (or whenever he is able to fit it in). While the majority of his work consists of digital production, he finds unparalleled joy in customising and making tangible things as well and this means he is currently deeply entrenched in the world of digital watch modifications.

RETRO-MODERN DESIGN

There is a tangible sense of quality to the digital watch modifications from CASIMODS and we’re loving the retro-modern design aesthetic of these creations from Benson C. For anyone who wants to add a touch of visual gravitas to their wrists, one of these customised Casios is sure to fit the bill. Unlike mechanical watches, which tend to champion polished and classy designs (in no way is this a bad thing of course), the digital watch world typically embraces animated and dramatic aesthetics with open arms. And this lends itself to more eye-catching modifications.

Pretty much no modification endeavour is off limits for CASIMODS when it comes to their digital timepiece creations and we love the end results all the more for it here at The Coolector. Custom imprints? Sure thing, no problem. Weathering and extra hardware installation? Why the hell not? This medium allows Benson C. to blend his interests in military, technical, retro-futuristic, and minimalist designs into something wearable on the wrist. Win, win.

If you’re a fan of customised accessories, these digital watches from CASIMODS are going to be tough to beat in our opinion. The quality craftsmanship and immeasurably eye-catching visual impact really sets them apart from the competition and they will add a real touch of class to any wrist in 2022. Whilst they’re are not currently purchasable on the site, Benson C is in the process of setting up a store on there so watch this space.
