On the heels of it’s $1 watch offering, Timex partnered with MM6 Maison Margiela to redefine the conventional watch design.

The new Timex piece draws inspiration from the T8 model, which dates back to the ‘80s. Maison Margiela has added a unique touch to make the timepiece more elegant.

Since Maison Margiela is quite famous for introducing pioneering ideas in the fashion world, the partnership recreates the rules of wearing a watch by introducing a 2-in-1 timepiece with a wristwatch and a ring watch. And by offering different fashion options, this new timepiece makes it easier for its users to style it differently.

One of Maison’s most popular mantras is ‘Ways to Wear It,’ and this new watch’s uniqueness represents that.

While the wristwatch and ring watch come in varying sizes, both pieces feature a stainless steel casing. This casing is characterized by a shiny metallic lustre that reflects light stylishly for a dapper look.

The front side has a sequence of numbers, running from 0 to 23, to give the timepiece that unique touch. To pay tribute to the fashion brand, one of the numerics (6) has been highlighted as a representation of the MM6 Maison Margiela label.

As a project that’s centered around multiple styling options, this set features a wristband that can be detached from the watch, making it easier for the user to wear it as a standalone piece.

The ring watch comes with a stainless-steel expansion band, which can also be styled as a ring.

The Timex x MM6 Maison Margiela is available on the official Timex store and other authorized retailers.

How you dress says a lot about who you are. Your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner self-image. So if you feel as though you are chaotic and messy, you will look unkept and sloppy in your day-to-day life. We all look to celebrities to mold our looks, but there is a level of imitations that lessen your ability to be you. Place of Elms is looking to change that, with some legendary stylists in their space and giving some fans an insight into how to dress like themselves, while still looking like a celebrity.

“We believe reverence is the essence of luxury, and truth is the ultimate aesthetic,” says the founder and designer behind Place of Ëlms, Lennie Moreno. “Recognition must be given to the stylists, as they are shaping how entire generations dress. Honoring them is honoring the invisible labor behind the visible show.”
