G-Shock, everyone’s favourite rugged sports watch brand, has launched a unique Christmas collaboration with Kentucky Fried Chicken, the fast-food behemoth.
The collab is limited to just 11 watches, one given away at 11.11am each day from Saturday 14 December, up until Christmas Eve.
This isn’t an admin error re: The Twelve Days of Christmas, the number refers to the 11 herbs and spices found in the original KFC recipe.
Of course it does!
The G-SHOCK x KFC watch is an appropriately bright red edition of its 2100 line, featuring 200-meter water resistance, shock resistance, alarms, a countdown timer, and “carbon core guard technology”.
To be in with a chance to claim the watch, you’ll need to be online with your fastest finger each day at 11.11am, at the KFC store.
“We’re thrilled to partner with KFC this Christmas to celebrate our shared love and association with Japan and its rich cultural heritage,” says Warren Halliwell, content & campaign manager, marketing of G-Shock UK.
“This limited-edition G-SHOCK watch is a perfect blend of innovation and tradition, reflecting the spirit of both brands. It’s a unique way to bring fans something truly special this holiday season.”
The unusual collab chimes with fashion’s recent love-in with fast food, one that has seen McDonald’s partner with Cactus Plant Flea Market, Adidas, Eric Emanuel, Vain, Verdy and Palace, and Greggs release a line of jewellery with Dion Kitson.
Delicious.
