Artist Joseph Aloi — also known as JK5 —teamed with Timex on a limited release watch for Barney’s Co-Op. Working within the confines of a small, octagonal face JK5 fluidly adorned the timepiece with symmetrical linework and vibrant color choices. Though fairly cryptic, the glyph-like etchings read “JK5″ and “Barneys,” horizontally across the top. Turned sideways the watch face reads, “Illuminate,” and the numbers one to nine. On the bottom it says, “Love, Light, Create.” The functional labeling (i.e. “start”) is slightly clearer in a contrasting color. Available this Holiday, exclusively at Barney’s Co-Op.

Head to Green Label Art for a brief interview with JK5 about the watch.

Timex 80 presents the Jumbo model — the brands’ classic 80s digital watch in a new large format. A “universe” of colors are available with names inspired by the planets: Blue Neptune, Brown Jupiter, Green Earth, Pink Venus, Red Mars and Red Mercury. The last one (the red/black watch above) is a limited edition of 500 pieces, only available in the most exclusive boutiques around the world. The industry leading technical details featured on all Timex 80 watches remain the same, with chronometer, date, alarm, water resistant case, and backlit Indiglo display. Timex 80 is now available at stores such as Selfridges, colette and Barneys.

Timex came back last year and re-introduced their most classic timepiece in fresh up-to-date colors. For Spring 2009 they will be releasing 7 new colorways of the digital watch. They used a lot of strong colors and pastelle combinations in the line-up, almost as of they wanted to offer you the right decoration for easter.

Anyways, the new Timex Spring 2009 collection will become available at colette in the near future.

Have a look at the other colorways after the jump.

G-Shock has been going strong again these past months, of course also due to their line-up of high profile collaborations. Timex has reintroduced their 80 model a couple of months ago as well. The classic has been well received and the up to date colors work well.

For Christmas they keep is simple. The Timex 80 Christmas Pack consists of three colorways – white, black and bordeaux. All three come with a shiny upper and stretchable band. Via Sarah.

Expect these to be soon available at colette.
