Something You Need: The James Brand X Timex

The James Brand, our good friends and favorite sharp gear producer from Oregon have teamed up with Timex to create a time-telling product that you absolutely cannot not have.

We are constantly late. We are the least punctual people on earth, and it shows. Additionally, much to our dismay, we are constantly borrowing other people’s pens and losing them, or chewing on them, or running them so ragged that they run out of ink. We are sort of dicks about it. The one thing we do happen to have on us at all times is a good knife, because you simply never know. Our pockets are absolutely busting with high-quality sharp objects courtesy of The James Brand, the only real choice for a gentleman or gentlewoman or gentlethem’s cutting needs.

Today, The James Brand and watchmaker, Timex, release a collaboration line which includes a solution to both of our above failings: a beautiful titanium GMT watch, a beautiful classic Chapter knife, and a minimalist, sleek Burwell pen, a box set edition that revolves around the GMT watch.

Envisioned by renowned Italian watchmaker and Timex Chief Creative Director, Giorgio Galli and designed by the team at The James Brand, the all-new co-branded GMT watch combines the analog soul of the classic field watch with the formal, sophisticated aesthetic of an heirloom timepiece. True to The James Brand’s unique design aesthetic, the GMT is crafted into a sleek 41mm case rendered in hard-wearing titanium for durability while remaining lightweight and comfortable. Reinforcing the case’s durability is a screw-down crown that effectively keeps dirt, dust, and moisture out.

The James Brand are true heroes, legends, some of our best camping friends, and a brand we can get behind. So should you.
