asio announced the release of the latest addition to the Edifice line of timepieces: the new EFK-100CD is a mechanical watch that, for the first time in the Edifice line, incorporates forged carbon — a material renowned for its strength and lightweight properties.

Edifice is a brand inspired by the world of motorsports, with bold designs and a distinctive style, incorporating carbon fiber and other materials prevalent in automotive culture. On the new timepiece, forged carbon — a lightweight and high-strength material — is used for the dial.

It creates a truly one-of-a-kind appearance in each timepiece, as carbon fiber blended into the resin forms unique, random surface patterns. The simple dial design, with just three hands and a date display, highlights the distinctive character of forged carbon.

Also for the first time in a Casio timepiece, the watch is equipped with a mechanical movement. Casio incorporated this into the Edifice line to reflect the shared dynamism and joy of driving and mechanical timekeeping.

The see-through case back reveals the movement in motion, where refined mechanical beauty echoes the aesthetics of car engines and suspension systems. The movement delivers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours when fully wound.

Casio also unveiled three new models of the EFK-100D — mechanical timepieces featuring dials that replicate the texture of forged carbon using electroforming.
