The latest addition to Timex's designer collaborations transforms the vintage T80 digital watch into two distinct pieces: a classic wristwatch and an unconventional ring design.
Following the release of their one-dollar Waterbury watch earlier this week, Timex continues its October releases with a partnership with MM6 Maison Margiela.
The collection introduces two stainless steel timepieces. The T80 Ring Watch ($180) features an expandable band that adapts to various finger sizes, making it wearable as both a statement ring and functional timepiece. Its digital display sits behind a mirror-finish face, complemented by subtle co-branding details.
For those preferring traditional wear, the T80 Steel Watch ($200) comes in a 34mm case with a mirror-polished finish. The watch includes Timex's signature INDIGLO® backlight technology for improved visibility in low-light conditions. Each piece arrives with two stainless steel bracelets in a special gift set. The steel bracelet's clasp incorporates MM6 Maison Margiela's numerical branding through detailed engraving.
The collection will be available from October 24 through multiple channels. Customers can purchase directly from Timex.com and MM6 Maison Margiela's website. The pieces will also be sold at MM6 boutiques and selected retail partners worldwide.
