MM6 Maison Margiela x TIMEX reinvents the retro digital watch T80

Timeless and minimalist, Timex’s T80 watch is appreciated for its compact LCD display, digital numerals, stainless steel bracelet and essential features – all of which evoke a sense of retro nostalgia and youthfulness. It’s fitting that MM6 Maison Margiela, the avant-garde second line of the Parisian fashion house known for breaking fashion conventions and redefining the essential, is reimagining such an iconic design.

MM6 is known for its distinctive, cross-gender collections that include ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories and leather goods. MM6 brings its bold yet sophisticated aesthetic to this collaboration, giving the T80 a boundary-pushing, conceptual twist that challenges traditional accessory design.

This exclusive collaboration between MM6 Maison Margiela and Timex reveals two innovative interpretations of the iconic piece: a gift set featuring a 2-in-1 wristwatch accompanied by an additional standalone stainless steel bracelet, and the groundbreaking T80 ring watch – the first of its kind. Through these avant-garde variations, MM6 opens up a variety of styling options, strengthening its ongoing exploration of the “Ways to Wear It” – a design ethos that focuses on the uniqueness and spontaneity of the wearer.

The T80 gift set includes a re-edition of the classic watch with its original features, complemented by a mirrored mask with Margiela’s famous number sequence from 0 to 23 below the display, with the number “6” circled to denote the MM6 creative studio. The stainless steel bracelet included in the gift set can be worn with or without a watch and offers versatile styling options.

The T80 Ring Watch challenges conventional notions of timekeeping accessories, transforming the iconic piece into a wearable ring. This avant-garde reinterpretation features a polished stainless steel case and a fully brushed stainless steel extension band, artfully crafted to adorn the finger.
