Renowned watch manufacturer Timex offer a reimagining of their classic T80 timepiece, with a Margiela spin
That infamous encircled ‘6’ has wound its way into the world of watches as MM6 Maison Margiela collaborates with Timex for radical reimagining on a retro style. With the functionality and features of a classic Timex piece (chronograph, alarm, timer, and month and time display) Margiela adds a contemporary twist to the iconic T80 style.
Unmistakably Margiela, with the sequence of 0-23 dancing across the watch face, the brand offers up the classic T80 watch as a two-in-one gift set. The sleek timepiece, equipped with a mineral lens and manufactured in line with the stringent Timex standards, is accompanied by a polished stainless steel bracelet. Wear together or solo – Marigela and Timex have given you three styling options for the price of one.
In a move steeped in Margiela’s wit and irreverence, the collaborators have also reimagined how a timepiece can be worn. Through minimalistic and intuitive design gestures, Margiela offers up the T80 watch as a ring. Able to be slipped onto any finger, the ring will be an, ironically, timeless piece in any collection. The stainless steel expansion band means there is no worry in guessing sizes: it's truly a one-size-fits-all. Play with convention and innovation, wearing time in a way that is truly unique to you.
MM6 Maison Margiela x TIMEX collaboration will be available from October 24th on both MM6 Maison Margiela and Timex e-commerce site, selected MM6 Stores, as well as in selected department stores.
