MM6 Maison Margiela, known for its rule-bending approach to fashion, twists everyday staples into pieces with irreverent, streetwear-infused flair for all genders. Since its inception in 1997, the label has pushed boundaries, and its collaboration with Timex follows suit. The collection re-engineers Timex’s retro-style T80 digital watch with two unique offerings: the T80 2-in-1 wristwatch, a set that includes an interchangeable stainless-steel bracelet, and the T80 ring watch, a first for both brands.
What makes this collection truly stand out is its playful take on appearance and illusion. MM6’s instinctive design gestures reinterpret the T80 as a versatile, adaptable accessory that blurs the lines between jewelry and functional timepieces. The collection’s design philosophy is rooted in MM6’s ongoing exploration of “Ways to Wear It,” offering wearers the freedom to experiment and express their individuality through fashion. Whether worn traditionally on the wrist or daringly as a ring, the MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex pieces embody spontaneity and creativity.
The minimalist design of the watches echoes MM6’s penchant for stripping back unnecessary elements while maintaining a distinct, avant-garde identity. This collaboration brings a fresh perspective to the way timepieces can be integrated into personal style, going beyond mere functionality to become expressions of personal taste and mood.
Available on MM6 Maison Margiela and Timex e-commerce sites, selected MM6 stores, and high-end multibrand retailers, this collection is poised to become a must-have for fashion-forward individuals looking to push the boundaries of how accessories can be worn. With its bold reimagining of a classic timepiece, the MM6 Maison Margiela x Timex collection is set to make a lasting impression on both fashion and watch enthusiasts alike.
