The latest collaboration between Noah and Timex draws inspiration from one of the ocean’s most enduring symbols – the lighthouse.
This partnership introduces the Lighthouse Watch, a timepiece that captures the quiet strength and guiding presence of these coastal sentinels while marking an exciting evolution in both brands’ design language.
Maritime Muse
What immediately sets this watch apart is its distinctive silhouette. Timex debuts a completely new case shape here: a soft, gold-tone ellipse measuring an intimate 31mm x 35mm.
This isn’t your typical round or rectangular watch face – the elliptical form strikes a perfect balance between geometric precision and organic curves. Paired with a crocodile-pattern leather strap, the overall aesthetic channels the 1970s revival that’s currently dominating the watch world, yet feels refreshingly contemporary rather than purely nostalgic.
The minimalist white dial serves as a clean canvas for the watch’s central motif – a stylized lighthouse graphic positioned at six o’clock. This subtle detail anchors the design without overwhelming the watch’s refined simplicity. The lighthouse symbol feels both literal and metaphorical, representing the timepiece’s role as a daily navigation tool and style compass.
Coastal Cool
Beneath its thoughtful design lies a purposefully straightforward technical foundation. The watch houses a reliable quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping without the maintenance demands of mechanical alternatives. A mineral glass crystal protects the dial, while the gold-plated stainless steel case provides durability with an upscale appearance.
Water resistance extends to 30 meters, making it suitable for daily wear and the occasional splash, though serious maritime adventures might require something more robust. The leather strap, with its crocodile pattern texture, adds visual interest while maintaining the watch’s sophisticated, wearable character.
At $228, the Lighthouse Watch positions itself in the accessible luxury segment – premium enough to feel special, approachable enough for everyday wear. This pricing reflects Noah’s broader philosophy of creating elevated basics that don’t require significant financial investment.
The collaboration represents more than just another limited edition timepiece. It showcases how meaningful design can emerge from personal storytelling and geographical inspiration. The lighthouse metaphor works on multiple levels: as a symbol of guidance, as a marker of place and memory, and as a representation of steadfast reliability – qualities that define both exceptional timepieces and enduring style.
Available now through Noah’s website, the Lighthouse Watch feels like a natural progression for both brands, combining Timex’s technical expertise with Noah’s thoughtful design sensibility to create something genuinely distinctive in an increasingly crowded collaborative landscape.
