BEAMS Joins NEEDLES and Timex on a Classic Digital

— January 14, 2024 — Fashion
Timex works in collaboration with NEEDLES and BEAMS BOY on a three-way collaborative Classic Digital watch project to kick off the 2024 new year. Additionally, BEAMS BOY is also celebrating its 25th anniversary and this is the second part of the collaborative project between Timex and NEEDLES back in September.

The trio delivers a special iteration of Timex's Classic Digital watch as a special edition by Shimizi Takashi from NEEDLES. The inspiration stems from tie-dye visuals, which is a pattern often visited by the brand. The strap and case are designed to be clear with black splotches added to create the tie-dye pattern in a unique way, reflecting light depending on how it hits the timepiece.
