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.

The path of least resistance is crowded: 5.11 launches ‘I am 5.11’
Clothing, Coat, Wood

The world is a harsh place. Every day can feel like outside your door is a constant battle to keep your head above water. You can push and push and push, and at the end of the day, feel like you have lost ground. So why would anyone wake up and take the hard road? The truth is, those people have figured out the secret no one tells you. The undeniable truth that you only discover when you reach out and try to touch something everyone else tells you is impossible: That harsh world, it is neutral. It isn’t out to get you. It is waiting for you to decide the obstacles won’t stop you. The desire to leap over the obstacles and capture your dreams comes down, not to fortune and manipulation, but to effort. At least, that is what 5.11’s new campaign, “I am 5.11,” is pushing with the help of motocross professional Carey Hart and NASCAR driver Hailie Deegan. A collection of clothes built for hard work and no boundaries.

It’s about moving forward, pushing yourself forward, and always challenging yourself. – Carey Hart
