1968 is the year JCDC launched his very first fashion collection.  2009 is another exciting year for JCDC, as he launched his first watch collection with odm.  JCDC identifies with odm’s playful and innovative brand characteristic, which matches with that of JCDC, and thus initiates a collaboration project.  Through the collaboration, odm helps JCDC enter the watch market and helps the JCDC line to create more noise, a whole new arena for JCDC.
To me, time is the source of all games and joy; it is our ultimate luxury.  There are two different emotions linked to my feeling for watches. The first is the worship of watch. There are certain watches that I feel very attached to, as it’s linked to my own story ... The second emotion is about the game and fun side of this daily object, like a toy, simple and precious, just like the watches I designed for odm.  odm has all the qualities to partner with JCDC: dynamic, modern and high tech.  The JCDC timepiece collection is fun, timeless and functional. I created it for all JCDC Fans.
