Timex and Jacquie Aiche return their collaboration watches

Jacquie Aiche’s collaboration with Timex proves that sometimes the most compelling designs warrant a second life. Two watches from their partnership have returned in constrained quantities, each one a study in how jewellery sensibility transforms a classic sports watch into something altogether more precious.

The two styles sit at opposing ends of the dial spectrum. One arrives in cream with a champagne warmth that catches light across its face, whilst its counterpart presents a sophisticated black dial that deepens the lustre of the surrounding gold and silver elements. Both share Aiche’s unmistakable visual language: her signature eye motif rendered in turquoise and gold sits at six o’clock, watching over diamond index markers that replace conventional numerals. The eye, a recurring symbol throughout her jewellery practice, brings an almost talismanic quality to the wrist.

The construction speaks to considered detail. Each watch features a fluted bezel in brushed gold that echoes classical watchmaking proportions, whilst the mixed metal bracelets combine stainless steel and gold in segmented links. The dial indices themselves are set with baguette cut diamonds alongside round brilliant stones, creating a rhythm that draws the eye around the face. Hour markers radiate outward in applied gold, a nod to Aiche’s heritage in fine jewellery design.

The return of these pieces reflects a broader appetite for wearable objects that function as jewellery rather than mere timekeeping. Aiche’s aesthetic, honed across years of crafting delicate gold chains and talismanic charms, transforms what might otherwise be a straightforward collaborative watch into something with genuine presence on the skin.

The watches return on 5 November in limited supply.
