Watchmaker Timex has signed a new strategic licensing agreement with luxury brand Judith Leiber Couture.

The collaboration will launch with two limited-edition watch designs, the T80 digital and Q analog, both of which feature the “bold, artful and fashion-forward touch of Judith Leiber”. The styles will be limited to 200 units each and feature over 900 hundred Swarovski crystals on the watch cases, dials and bracelets in playful colour combinations.

Timex Group’s creative designer Giorgio Galli has teamed up with Judith Leiber’s creative director Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger to “maintain the essence of the Judith Leiber brand” while ensuring the watches and collections reflect the colourful aesthetic and contemporary luxury styling of the brand.
