I do not know if it was discussed before.

What do you think of this Peanuts® x Q Timex Chronograph


Quartz movement

  • Case Diameter 40 mm
  • Case Height 14 mm

    Yay or nay?

If you like it then it’s a yay.

For me it’s probably something I wouldn’t wear. It looks like a speedy homage. Never been into them.

Timex has had a long association with Peanuts. So let’s not clutch our pearls here just because it’s a chronograph. I have two Marlin automatics, one silver Snoopy and one with Charlie Brown and his kite. They are very elegant in execution. This is fun but way too busy for my taste. If you like it , buy it.

I don’t have an issue that it’s a chronograph. I have an issue that they are making it look like a speedy snoopy. Just be original.

Of all the manufactures out there, lack of originality is not a problem I’d associate with Timex. They have been firing on all cylinders with fun new, in some cases gutsy, new designs for the last ten years. Were you offended by the Swatch knockoffs?

Yes I agree with you, most brands out there are doing some form of homage, doesn’t mean I have to like it.

I don’t get offended, I just don’t like homage watches. Brands have come up with original designs for years, there are more designs to be had out there. I’m sure with a little bit of creativity, timex could have done something better.

The other dress pieces with snoopy are cool.

The Q sub brand brand is edgy to begin with. To be honest, the design is very Q … I don’t see an homage … I see a Q Timex . I think it is way overdone though.

All good, I see a speedy homage style dial and jewel with speedy style pushers in a different case to make it look enough not like a speedy to get away with it.

I’m happy to agree to disagree.

Timex recently produced many interesting pieces that may appeal to many. I am actually quite happy to see how this brand (that has a long history since 1854) is developing. Indeed it has had a long association with Peanuts as Larry wrote. Those Marlin automatics are super fun, I have been looking at them for quite some time.

I find the watch I posted very nice. It does look like speedy and it is busy, but it is also undeniably Timex. I am not buying it (yet 😀), I have enough watches in rotation and I am trying to cherish them more instead of getting new pieces. I will write about some of them later.

Their output in the last ten years has been impressive, specially with the Italian design studio. . I had to terminate the e mail feed because the temptations were too great. Great company IMO. Their recent foray north of a grand on the diver will be interesting to watch.
