The collaboration between BEAMS BOY, NEEDLES, and Timex continues to captivate style enthusiasts as they mark the 25th anniversary of BEAMS BOY. Last year’s three-part collaboration with Timex and NEEDLES set the stage for an iconic release, and now, in 2024, the festivities continue with the unveiling of the second part of this exclusive partnership.
This limited-edition timepiece takes on the iconic Timex Classic Digital watch, which Shimizu Takashi of NEEDLES reimagined. Drawing inspiration from tie-dye, a motif synonymous with the NEEDLES brand, the watch boasts a clear strap and case adorned with black splotches. These intricate patterns mimic the visual allure of tie-dye, creating a dynamic aesthetic that evolves with the play of light.
Adding a touch of exclusivity, Takashi introduces NEEDLES’ signature papillon logo, subtly embedded in the backlight of the watch face. This distinctive feature adds a layer of sophistication to the timepiece, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the collaboration.
Beyond its striking exterior, the NEEDLES × TIMEX × BEAMS BOY Classic Digital BLACK is not just a fashionable accessory but a precision timekeeping instrument. The digital display incorporates Timex’s patented Indiglo technology, ensuring clarity and readability in any lighting condition. The case back proudly displays ‘NEEDLES for BEAMS BOY,’ surrounded by engraved details that highlight the watch’s essential specifications.
Priced at approximately $121, the NEEDLES × TIMEX × BEAMS BOY Classic Digital BLACK limited-edition masterpiece is now available for pre-order on the BEAMS website and BEAMS BOY stores, with general sales starting on January 26th.
