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.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
