Hodinkee has partnered with Timex to reinterpret the classic Q Timex timepiece originally issued in 1979 and reissued in May of 2019. The reissued wristwatch has become something of an instant icon. The Timex Q Timex HODINKEE Limited Edition reimagines this classic timepiece. Hodinkee’s approach in restyling the archetypal Timex was based on making only a few simple tweaks to what they considered to be an already successful formula.
Opting for a clean white dial, the date window at 3 o’clock was removed which resulted in a more symmetrical geometry. The bezel, which normally comes in two-tone colors, was simplified with a bare stainless steel bidirectional bezel. The “HODINKEE” signature sits above 6 o’clock to balance out the signature “Q TIMEX” logo by 12 o’clock, while the rest of the watch’s design elements remain intact and true to its 1979 original. Over a year of collaboration between Timex and Hodinkee has yielded a truly subtle, understated and undeniably classic timepiece.
