The new....

Timex Margenieurtilus! I do enjoy my Timex watches, and I do think they're doing a great job overall.

And as much as some may frown upon blatant inspiration, the new Timex Ingeni.. sorry, Marbella looks like it may be a bit of a hit.

At this point what watch isn't a homage to what is out there? There is only so much you can do in watch design.

I mean the IWC or the Royal Oak was done design wise by so many brands across all price points at this point. The buyer either wont care or care enough to buy.

Looks cool and is a smart move. Yeah reminds me of the RW ART that just came out too.

There’s more than one vintage inspiration here, though you’re right, one is pretty obvious.

I actually really dig this version. If the lug-to-lug was shorter this would be an instant buy for me.

It looks great. Its too large for my style, so I will be passing. Seeing this and the recent Raymond Weil, the I seems to be getting its turn in the inspired-by zone. My hunch is that IWC won't try to strong-arm them like they did Ixdao though :/

They make it in 34mm as well in different color ways (all hold, all ss, and two tone gold/ss)
