The Timex × Monopoly Collection: Where Time Meets the Boardgame

The Timex × Monopoly Collection: Where Time Meets the Boardgame

The enduring classic board game Monopoly celebrates its 90th anniversary with a bold new collaboration from Timex. The three-watch collection puts playful game-board cues into three distinct Timex models — the MK1 36 mm, Marlin 38 mm and Weekender 37 mm — combining heritage watch platforms with iconic token-inspired details. The next section explores how each model brings this crossover to life.

A Playful Tribute to 90 Years of Monopoly

This anniversary collaboration marks the first time Monopoly has been interpreted through Timex’s lens. It transforms familiar Timex silhouettes into lively nods to the Monopoly universe. Mr. Monopoly appears on dials, game-token motifs mark hour indices, and colour accents recall the board’s greens, rail-tracks and classic tokens. Each model retains the character of the underlying platform while injecting spirited thematic touches. The result is both collectible and wearable — especially for fans of both watches and one of the most recognisable board games in history.

Retro Play, Modern Execution

Despite their differences, the three models share a cohesive visual identity defined by Monopoly’s iconic palette and storytelling details. All feature playful dial elements, vintage-style typography, and familiar Timex practicality.

The Monopoly × Timex MK1 36 mm uses the brand’s classic field-watch case, rendered in lightweight resin with a green fabric strap reminiscent of the board’s property tones. The white dial includes Monopoly-themed hour markers and the game’s mascot at six o’clock, while luminous hands and a compact 36 mm profile keep it faithful to the MK1’s utilitarian roots.

The Monopoly × Timex Marlin 38 mm takes a more refined approach. Its polished stainless-steel case houses a silver-toned sunray dial where Mr. Monopoly’s arms act as the hour and minute hands — a charming touch that complements the automatic movement within. Finished with a black leather strap and domed acrylic crystal, it blends 1960s dress-watch design with a dash of playfulness.

Finally, the Monopoly × Timex Weekender 37 mm sits between the two in spirit. A green dial ringed by a printed rail-track minute scale nods to the board layout, while the second hand features miniature game-piece icons that rotate with each sweep. Its stainless-steel case and black fabric strap give it a casual, everyday feel backed by the dependable quartz movement that defines the Weekender line.

Pricing & Availability

The Monopoly × Timex collection is now available through Timex’s online store and select retailers worldwide. Pricing is set at approximately $109 for the MK1 36 mm, $139 for the Weekender 37 mm, and $329 for the Marlin 38 mm automatic.

The Monopoly × Timex collection transforms a familiar board-game icon into wearable nostalgia.
