Timex, a world leader in watchmaking, introduces its Spring/Summer seasonal collections, which were designed at the Giorgio Galli Design Lab in Milan, Italy. The Spring/Summer 2021 collection includes expanded product lines and several bold new designs that embody the spirit of the brand’s We Don’t Stop™ campaign, paying tribute to the brand’s 167-year legacy of grit and perseverance while also speaking to its strides toward a brighter, stronger and more inclusive future. timex pay
“The Spring/Summer 2021 season is about strength and perseverance. This collection was designed with optimism and passion, building on our foundation, reimagining past eras and eliciting thoughtful interpretations of brighter days ahead,”
said Giorgio Galli, Chief Executive Creative Director of Timex Group.
Arguably the season’s biggest addition is a total refresh of the iconic Waterbury Traditional collection where the past meets the future. The range features all-new case designs, new dials and a stylized Waterbury Watch Company motif throughout all the new watches in the range including automatic, quartz, three-hand, GMT and chronograph watches.
Adding to the women’s portfolio is the new Timex Malibu Collection with a splash of surf-to-street styling. Inspired by the colors of the ocean and the beaches of Malibu, this collection stands out with a playful color palette of coral and turquoise, perfect for that transition from spring to summer and available in select styles across the Q Timex, Waterbury Boyfriend Legacy and Transcend collections.
