* Hodinkee + Huckberry + Timex Limited Edition Collaborations //

Loving my new Timex collaborations from Hodinkee & Huckberry with their fresh limited edition redesigns of the classic 1970’s Q Timex.

The Q Timex was one of the first affordable mainstream quartz watches upon its release in 1979, designed to combine accuracy and ability in a single functional package. Last year Timex re-issued its iconic quartz watch to immediate success. Hodinkee created their own limited edition version by deleting the calendar complication for a more symmetrical dial layout and stripping the steel bezel bare. The crisp white dial completes the simplified, cool, clean look.

Instead of reissuing a watch from Timex’s archives, Huckberry sat down with them to build their very own classic from the ground up—a tribute to legendary divers and flight watches from the mid 20th century. They drew on styles from the 70s and 80s and went with a military-inspired ‘crosshair’ dial with polished and faceted 6, 9, and 12 markers. Finished with a woven stainless steel bracelet and a functional aluminum timing bezel.

Fear is used to control and divide us but we can combat it with information, openness and understanding. America is a wonderfully diverse place which we can all use to our advantage to achieve amazing things when we work together. Ask questions and dig deeper to learn about others experiences, challenges and triumphs. There is The American Dream of freedom, fairness and opportunity which is something to honor, defend and celebrate with pride, but we must not turn a blind eye to the skeletons in our historical closet. Our country is also a culture of violence, greed and exclusion built from genocide, racism and war. Blind patriotism that arrogantly only focuses on our positive qualities or one viewpoint, but ignores our troubling issues is selfish and dangerous. We can’t work toward resolving our problems until we acknowledge them and listen to everyone’s experience to truly see others unique journey. Use your voice to halt hate, embrace empathy, share love and conquer fear. Let’s defeat arrogance, entitlement and ignorance by embracing understanding to help and celebrate one another. Love and Peace.
