FASHION MEETS TECH. For fans of Korean fashion and artist JaeSuk Kim, you would be pleased to know that UOB has collaborated with him to design a limited edition Casio G-Shock contactless watch for UOB Cardmembers. The watches feature his trademark watercolour designs on the straps and are available in two versions: a black metal case with a blue camouflage print band, or a white case with a black metal face with illustrations of JaeSuk Kim’s signature Susu girls in pink and red. The watch is also UOB’s first contactless wearable product, which allows cardmembers to make contactless payments in style via the UOB Contactless Card embedded in the loop of the timepiece. Simply spend a minimum of S$2,500 within six charge slips on local and/or overseas retail purchases to redeem the watch at Mojito Redemption, Plaza Singapura from now to Jan 15. While stocks last.
