TweetGORDON PARKS X MUHAMMAD ALI
2020-06-22In 1966, Life magazine assigned famed photographer Gordon Parks to cover Muhammad Ali, the brash young boxing champion. Four years later in 1970, the two came together again for a second Life feature story.
These encounters framed a critical passage in the career of the controversial heavyweight, whose antiwar and black separatist views had led to widespread vilification in the United States. They also marked a significant moment of transition for Parks, then following up his remarkable success in photojournalism with new projects as an author, filmmaker and composer.
Despite their generational and ideological differences, Parks and Ali respected and admired one another. As celebrated figures, both men shared a common struggle as they faced prejudice and bigotry in their fight for social justice and civil rights in the public eye.

ISOLATION
2020-06-22Impacted by the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, people are focused on staying safe by staying physically distant from other people, sending us into isolation. We have been forced to take a moment to stop, take a look around, and through this uncomfortable experience we have embarked upon a situation that has changed our world. At this time when we are staying at home, isolated, whether with our family or without our family we are seeing life in a new light and different perspective. Some of us have found this to be a time of renewed appreciation for the simple things in life; spending more time cherishing our loved ones, embracing the sights and sounds of nature, and finding that we can get by on what we have right here in our homes. We stay isolated while health care workers bravely risk their lives in the fight against this disease. Many have struggled severely with illness and fear and loss.

TweetTIMEX T80 X PAC-MAN
2020-06-22PAC-MAN burst onto the arcade scene and helped create a whole new kind of entertainment way back in 1980. That was shortly after we introduced some of the first digital watches for mass production, marking a turning point both in timekeeping and the future of wristwatch design. To celebrate these two icons of that era and PAC-MAN’s 40th anniversary, we’re introducing a special edition of our T80 that features PAC-MAN right on the watch face. It features all the functions you’d expect from a T80, like an alarm, stopwatch and date display, but also plays the iconic PAC-MAN melody and has a retro flair to spare.
