Timex has teamed up with Dimepiece to reintroduce the Intrepid, a ’90s-era timepiece famously worn by John F. Kennedy Jr. The new Timex x Dimepiece Intrepid blends vintage style with modern details, offering a gender-neutral design that appeals to both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.
The Watch JFK Jr. Made a Style Icon
From Vintage Inspiration to Modern Collaboration
The collaboration was inspired after Brynn Waller, founder of Dimepiece, discovered a vintage photo of JFK Jr. sporting the original Timex Intrepid. Known for his effortless blend of prep and sport, JFK Jr. even paired the watch with suits—an unconventional style choice that still resonates today.
Waller partnered with vintage curator Alan Bedwell of Foundwell to revive the model, keeping its spirit intact while updating it for modern tastes.
